Whether the skin is white or not mainly depends on the ability of melanocytes to synthesize melanin. Among the basal cells of human epidermis, melanocytes are distributed. The tyrosine contained in melanocytes can oxidize tyrosine into polysaccharide, and then undergo a series of metabolic processes. Finally, melanocytes can be produced. The more melanin is produced, the darker the skin becomes; On the contrary, the skin becomes clearer.
1. Dark food
Dark food is also the food you should pay attention to. Milk, eggs, tofu, fish and other light colored foods can easily discharge melanin and reduce the burden on the viscera. At the same time, we should also eat less dark food and drink less beverages, such as strong tea, cola, coffee and chocolate.
Dark food also includes staple foods such as purple rice, black beans, red beans, green beans, red diamonds, black sesame, walnuts, and meat such as black bone chicken, beef and mutton, pig liver, soft shelled turtle, dark meat fish and sea cucumber. In addition, there are carrots, spinach, purple turnips, purple cabbage, mushrooms, black fungus and so on.
2. Fried food
Fried food is a good thing for many people. Eating fried food that smells spicy and delicious can do great harm.
Fried food is not only easy to get fat, but also contains oxides that will accelerate the skin’s hydration, so it should be eaten as little as possible. If you can’t help it, you may as well supplement some foods with vitamin E before eating to resist aging, such as pumpkin, rubber, spinach, carrot, whole wheat bread, peanut, sesame, brown rice, etc.
3. Imbalance between alkaline food and acidic food
Balance is the most beautiful and healthy state in nature, so is food intake.
The body fluid of a healthy human body is weakly alkaline. At ordinary times, the intake of acidic food and alkaline food is unbalanced, and the blood tends to be acidic, which brings various discomfort to the human body and promotes the formation of skin pigment spots. Eat more fresh fruits, edible fungi and other foods, and control the intake of meat, wine, sugar and other strong acidic foods is the key to keep the body fluid in a good state of weak alkalinity, prevent and dilute color spots.
4. Food rich in met and rare elements
Studies have shown that tyrosinase activity is closely related to copper, iron, zinc and other elements in the body. People often eat substances rich in MOET and rare elements such as liver and kidney of animal viscera, clam, crab, conch and oyster of crustaceans, black fish roe of aquatic products, soybeans, lentils, green beans and red beans of beans, peanuts, walnuts, black sesame seeds and dried grapes of hard shelled fruits. Their skin color is darker. Therefore, people living on the seashore and fishermen have darker skin because they eat more of the above aquatic products.
5. Photosensitive vegetable
Photosensitive foods are easy to darken the skin, because they are rich in copper, iron, zinc and other metal elements, which can directly or indirectly increase the amount and activity of tyramine, tyrosinase, dopamine quinone and other substances related to melanin production. Eating more of these foods will make the skin more vulnerable to ultraviolet rays and turn black or grow spots, so it is necessary to take an appropriate amount of them.
Sweet potato, potato, spinach, leek, celery, coriander, white radish, beans, etc. these vegetables make it easier for people who love spots to grow color spots. Generally speaking, most vegetables with volatile spicy smell and special smell belong to photosensitive vegetables.
Blacklist of photosensitive fruits
Lemon, papaya, cucumber and other fruits are photosensitive, and citrus fruits are basically photosensitive. Generally speaking, most fruits with shiny surfaces are light-sensitive.
After eating such photosensitive vegetables and fruits, you should avoid the sun or eat them at night, because fruits like citrus have become powerful whitening soldiers if they are eaten at night! In the midsummer season, we should eat more vegetables and fruits that inhibit pigmentation and make our skin white, such as kiwifruit, strawberry, tomato, cabbage, cauliflower and so on.
When skin injury or scald recovers, try to eat less photosensitive vegetables and fruits!
6. Additive
The internal organs of healthy people will maintain normal metabolism and smooth melanin discharge. Too many artificial additives in food will cause the burden on the viscera, cause melanin precipitation, and form black spots and freckles.
In modern life, many foods have additives. To whiten, you should be careful. Chicken essence, preservatives, artificial pigments and other food additives will increase the burden on the viscera, which is not conducive to the discharge of melanin, resulting in the formation of black spots and freckles.
