These Kinds of Foods Make You Smell More Attractive Women
Well, if you aren't a fan of fruits and vegetables, you aren't going to like this. But men who eat more fruits and vegetables make you smell more attractive to women.
"We've known for a while that odor is an important component of attractiveness, especially for women," Ian Stephen a professor at Macquarie University in Australia and one of the study’s authors, told NPR.
Sweat helps signal the overall health of a potential mate, so it makes 'sense' that smell would too.
The sample size of the study done was rather small, but what they did was pretty amazing. They had a spectrophotometer, which looks for caroteniods. Carotenoids go from the food you eat, to your skin. They would ask men to work out, then had women smell the shirts. Gross, but the results were consistent across the board. So if you want to up your odds on picking up a lady? Eat your fruits and veggies.
