Study Shows Following This Diet Makes You Smell Sexier To Other People – Delish.com

In case you need another reason to eat more veggies, a new study says they may be helpful in making men smell more attractive to women.

The study, performed by researchers at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, found that men who ate a diet heavy in vegetables smelled nicer than those who ate a carb-heavy diet, NPR reports. Interestingly, those who ate more meat produced a stronger smell, though it wasn't thought of as better or worse.

To understand how our diet impacts our smell, researchers recruited a group of young men and assessed their skin with a spectrophotometer. This device flashes a light onto someone's skin, then measures the color reflected back, which indicates how much fruit and veggies a person eats.

The men then filled out questionnaires about their diets, and were given a clean shirt to exercise in. After the men sweated it out, women were brought in to smell the shirts and share their opinions on each shirt's scent, including how floral, fruity, and attractive it smelled.

"Women basically found that men who ate more vegetables smelled nicer," Ian Stephen, the author of the study, told NPR.

According to the study, eating more fat, meat, egg, and tofu was also associated with a more pleasant smell. Sorry carbs, you're killing our game.
