Zusammenfassung:According to the 2019 HealthFocus US Trend Study, which tracked consumer motivations, perceptions, and beliefs around health and nutrition, the percentage of consumers choosing foods and beverages to maintain a youthful appearance is growing. Hot Topics While most consumers associate topical sunscreens with protection against harmful UV exposure, a study published in 2018 in Skin Pharmacology and Physiology found that an ingestible carotenoid-rich tomato nutrient complex allows for the proper nourishment of body and skin and also balances skin’s response to UV rays. In a pilot study conducted by dermatologists at the University at California-Davis, 28 healthy, postmenopausal women with Fitzpatrick skin types 1 or 2 (a skin type characterized by increased tendency to burn with sun exposure) consumed 20% of their daily calories from either almonds or a calorie-matched nut-free snack (cereal bar, energy bar, pretzels). According to Raja Sivamani, MD, an integrative dermatologist and lead researcher on the study, the results suggest that daily consumption of almonds could play a role in reducing wrinkle severity in post-menopausal women.
