What do people think is sexy?  A rosy complexion.  What gives you a rosy complexion?  Eating fruits and vegetables.  I just heard Eric say a "hell yeah". 

In a study were people were asked to rate an individuals level of attractiveness, researchers have found it was all about skin tone (another study confirmed these findings -"glow" and "radiance" were the key indicators of "beauty" even over symmetry).  An individual with a rosy complexion was rated as the most attractive even over those with a "golden" complexion so you can save some money on spray-on tans. 

Dr Ian Stephen who conducted the study said that skin slightly flushed with blood and full of oxygen suggested a strong heart and lungs, which supported the study's findings that rosier skin appeared healthy.

He said smokers and people with diabetes or heart disease had fewer blood vessels in their skin, and so their skin would appear less rosy.

The carotenoid pigment - contained in fruit such as oranges and tomatoes, as well as carrots, spinach and other leafy vegetables - are powerful antioxidants that soak up dangerous compounds produced when the body combats disease.  They are also known to be important for our immune and reproductive systems, and may also help prevent cancer.

So if you want to be "sexy", put down the cigarettes...the alcohol....and eat a bowl of greens.  You'll feel better and have a better sex life ;)
