2. CARROTS 胡蘿卜
Carrots are teeming with tiny orange pigments called beta-carotene, and when you ingest those pigments, you’re invitingthem to nestle into your skin, fill in blotches, and give you ahealthy glow. And what’s more, research shows that this canactually help prevent premature aging from sun damage. But isthe accumulation of orange in your skin going to make you looklike an extra from Jersey Shore? Well, hopefully not. But eatingexcessive loads of carotene-rich foods can lead to a conditioncalled carotenosis, wherein your skin stops looking healthy and starts looking, well,orange. But the conditions is rare, so unless you notice yourself turning into aprison jumpsuit, feel free to chow down.
胡蘿卜含有大量的胡蘿卜素色素,稱為β-胡蘿卜素,當你攝取這些顏料,它們將會依附你的皮膚,淡化斑點,使皮膚看起來更有光澤。研究表明,它們可以幫助皮膚由于曬傷而過早老化。但是,你的皮膚的橙色積累會讓你看起來像來自新澤西州海岸。不必擔心。胡蘿卜素進食過多會導致稱之為胡蘿卜素沉著的皮膚病,那樣你的皮膚看起來就是像是橘子。但是這樣的情況非常罕見。因此,除非當你發現你像是穿上了監獄連體衣(囚服貌似是橘紅色)一樣,否則,就大快朵頤吧。
