How 1 breakfast changes your beauty

French scientists released a study on the influence of food on female attractiveness.

The study involved 104 people of different genders. They did a simple experiment where they noted what people ate and took pictures of them after their meals.

Wow, you say!

And yes, if chronic consumption of high-glycemic foods is understandable and we know that high blood glucose levels lead to glycation, wrinkles, and more, then what about baguettes and croissants exclusively for breakfast?

Turns out, what you eat for breakfast can impact how attractive you look!

Women who had high glycemic index foods for breakfast were considered less attractive than those who ate a low-GI breakfast.

In this research, both breakfast options had the same number of calories but differed in glycemic load.

Remember, the sweeter foods with low amounts of fiber have a high GI - so that's what we're talking about here about croissants and baguettes just the same.

Two hours after eating, they took pictures of the participants' faces, and only the high-glycemic breakfast led to a decrease in attractiveness!

Why? 

The fact is that about 2 hours after eating a high GI meal blood glucose drops and hypoglycemia sets in and because it affects blood flow and skin this can show up in photos!

BEAUTY AND SUGAR

For women, chronic consumption of refined carbohydrates at breakfast decreases attractiveness while calorie intake increases!

BEAUTY BREAKFAST

So, the best breakfasts for looking good mainly include fats and proteins and only a small amount of refined carbohydrates.

STUDY RESULTS:

Both men and women chose those who ate the highest-calorie foods for breakfast.

Men preferred women with lower glycemic load (GL) for breakfast and afternoon snacks.

Women preferred men with higher GN for afternoon snacks and lower energy intake in the afternoon.

Women were drawn to men who seemed more masculine, and men liked women who appeared more feminine.

Main rules for a nutritious breakfast:

1. Your breakfast should be packed with calories - the heartier your breakfast is, the less likely you'll overeat during the rest of the day.

2. Aim to get most of your breakfast calories from proteins and fats.

3. Opt for carbs that are low on the glycemic index and are rich in fiber.
