Why is purple important for acne? Acne products & treatments in Chico are designed to exfoliate the skin, making it more susceptible to UV damage. UV exposure also turns red pimples into dark spots.
Beets, eggplant, plums & blueberries are loaded with anthocyanins, a polyphenol flavonoid, which gives these foods its purple pigment. "Purple" provides plants with powerful protection from UV radiation and DNA mutation. More and more research is revealing that "purple" offers similar chemoprotective benefits for us.
Researchers are now investigating "purple" for protection against skin cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, neurological & cardiovascular issues.
Purple pigments can be found in black raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, elderberries, plums, grapes, acai, eggplant, beets, red beans, red lentils & black rice. Even carrots, potatoes, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, onions - come in a purple variety. The deeper the pigment, the higher the anthocyanins. So protect your skin and eat up!
