nypost.com • • health
Key Points:
- A recent study published in Recent Progress in Nutrition suggests that plant-based diets can enhance personal attractiveness by improving facial appearance, body odor, and body composition.
- Researchers David Goldman and Matthew Nagra propose that emphasizing the aesthetic benefits of vegan diets could motivate more people to adopt plant-based eating by appealing to vanity rather than just health concerns.
- Eating carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables can improve skin color and perceived health, though this coloration is more a visual cue than a direct measure of internal health.
- Plant-based diets may lead to more pleasant body odor compared to meat-heavy diets, with some foods like garlic potentially enhancing attractiveness despite their strong smell.
- Improved body composition associated with plant-based diets, such as lower BMI and reduced body fat, can further contribute to increased attractiveness and overall vitality.
