your bronzer and up your intake of fruit and vegetables. Eating two extra portions (from five to seven per day over six weeks) is enough to improve skin tone to the point where others will notice, reports the American Journal of Public Health. This improvement is a result of carotenoids, red, orange and yellow plant pigments that are found in fruits and vegetabls such as carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato, tomato, rockmelon, apricots, mangoes and oranges. Carotenoids, terpenes and flavonoids (all found in these foods) act as antioxidants to protect against cancer and heart disease also. Of interest is lutein, which is a carotenoid that gets stored in the eye. This is important as it helps prevent two of the most common causes of blindness; cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Picked warm from a tree, a peach and its sun-kissed flesh is considered reminiscent of a woman's curves. Their creamy texture, gorgeous colour and their delicious smell are just bonuses really. Peaches are very high in several minerals including Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Vitamin A is needed for healthy skin lso have a high vitamin C count which makes them something of a fertility drug for your man. Apparently higher consumption results in better sperm counts and less sperm clumping (I'll let you look that one up). The peach originated in China and the peach tree was thought to be the "tree of life" among ancient Chinese. Chinese brides today, still carry its blossom in their bouquets to promote fertility.
