Does Vegetarians have flawless skin, healthy body?

Question

Dear Vegans,

Do you have healthy, flawless skin, healthy hair and bright eyes?

I want to know if vegetables etc really makes someone looks very healthy.

I want to eat lots of vegetables if it is true.

Answer 1

Yes.

Most people. Not all.

Answer 2

First, vegetarians and vegans are two different groups. Vegans are a subset of vegetarians, so if you're vegan, you're also vegetarian, but all vegetarians are not vegan.

Within either of those groups, it is still possible to have a poor diet. Lots of fruits and vegetables in your diet is good for you, but you could be a vegetarian and eat cheese pizza, milkshakes and french fries all day, which isn't particularly healthy.

Having said all of that, I'll reiterate that lots of fruits and vegetables in your diet is a good thing. They are packed with vitamins and minerals, for not too many calories. The result would be good health, with all the things that go along with that - good skin, bright eyes, healthy body, and so on.

Answer 3

I've personally noticed a difference, but it would depend on each person's diet, genetics, and hygiene.
Since Omega 3s are good for skin health, concerned vegetarians/vegans can add things to their diets like flax-seed oil and whatnot.

I was vegetarian in high school for a few years, and after graduation I went back to an omnivorous diet. My skin started breaking out periodically.
When I returned to a vegetarian diet I had fewer breakouts.
Now that I use only plant derived organic cleansers, I don't have any problems at all.

Side-note: Jason Apricot Satin Soap has worked better for me than all the expensive Aveda and Neutrogena soaps, and it's less than $6 (compared to $32 for Aveda).

Answer 4

I have been a vegetarian for 7 years, but about 10 weeks ago I became a vegan. I used to get a skin rash, but after a couple of weeks being a vegan it cleared up, and the rest of my skin its much more clear and never gets dry. I also make sure I am getting my omega 3 and healthy oils by eating flax seed, hemp seed, sesame seed, avocado, and a variety of nuts. Eating lots of fruit and vegetables will definitely contribute to good health, and healthy skin would be a part of that. And by eating your fruit and vegetables fresh and raw, also makes a difference. Eating fresh raw foods is good for any animal. One example would be my horses, when I feed them hay and grain sure they have a nice coat and healthy body. But when I turn them out on pasture to eat frsh grass in a matter of weeks their coats gleam and become silky smooth.

Answer 5

If a veggie actually eats VEGETABLES, then yes, they likely have flawless skin and hair. Many "veggies" simply give up meat and live off of toxic soy substitutes and junk food. I enjoy all manner of fruits and veggies in their natural state. I am 43 years old (as of yesterday), and look 30. I am often carded when buying wine. My skin is perfect, I wear no make up. My hair is long, thick, curly, and shiny, and the same flaming red it was when I was a teen, tho I must admit I find the occaisional grey one. My 12 year old daughter, who is also veggie, is flawless in all respects. Her below the waist hair is thick and shiny. She is a brown belt in karate and more fit than her non veg friends. What else can I say? I went to my 25 year high school reunion not long ago, and was voted "most like when in school", my peers looked quite more aged, except for 3 other veggies in the crowd-the difference was notable

Answer 6

eating a healthy vegetarian or vegan diet definitely has a good effect on your skin. i wouldn't say i have perfect skin, but it is usually pretty clear, while a girl i know who eats tons of fast food has horrible acne and is overweight. i would say i'm an average weight, maybe a little on the low side (5'6 or 7", 125 lbs). diet isn't everything, you have to exercise too to maintain a healthy body.

Answer 7

It's all genetics, but eating right directs you to maximizing your potential. Eating lots of vegetables and fruit is good, because most of that your body can't digest so it helps in digestion of other foods. Make sure you get all your essential amino acids though. Eggs are the best source for them, because they have all your essential aa's.
In my opinion, eating fresh is more important than eating lots of vegetables, because fresh food has much less preservatives.
Still, there's more to flawless skin than eating. Many of my friends are vegetarians and vegans but still have acne. You also need to take care of yourself externally by maintaining a good regime that includes exfoliating and toning. Also, try to avoid touching your face as much as possible.

Answer 8

Yes, but if you smoke, drink alcohol, don't sleep enough, don't get enough proteins and not enough water, all the vegetables in the world won't help, and if you are unhappy and not satisfied with your life, nothing can make your eyes shine. However eating vegetables in a balanced way making sure you get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs does add lot to your well being, cleans your bowels, and tus your entire system. So, yes, go ahead and eat as many vegetables and fruit as you can.

Answer 9

if this is a serious question than by eating more vegetables and fruit you will increase the amount of vitamins and fiber your body is already taking in.
I found that when I went veggie I paid attention to what I was putting in my body more closely because I was subtracting from my meat diet. I wanted to make sure i was getting all the necessary vitamins and protein.
