2. CARROTS 胡萝卜
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.
