4 Weird Foods That Help You Look Hot, According to Cosmo
Cosmo recently did an article on "8 Foods That Increase Your Hot Factor," but a few of them are a little weird and random. Though we all already knew that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, who knew that it keeps the dentist away by buffing teeth?
Okay, okay, apples aren't such a weird food. Here are the 4 most random foods that (according to Cosmo and the doctors they consulted) apparently help keep you hot:
1. Kiwis. Uh...huh? Yep, kiwis have tons of vitamin C, which stimulates collagen production to fight against aging. Start now, though, because the more collagen you have, the firmer and more elastic it will be in 20 years.
2. Pumpkin seeds. Apparently all the zinc in pumpkin seeds helps fight acne. So next time you're breaking out or right before it's about to be that lovely time of the month, try to get 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds in your system.
3. Watercress. I'm not really sure what this wondrous food tastes like, but Cosmo and Dr. Perricone say it has tons of antioxidants and iron. The former helps reduce inflammation and pore size, while the latter gives your skin an awesome glow. So, when you're chowing down on those pumpkin seeds, throw in some watercress for good measure.
4. Green beans. These babies are pumped with silicon, which helps make your hair stronger and thicker. Hm, who knew?
Lovelies, what foods keep you looking beautiful?

Kiwis are the best!! Not random at all :)
Ok, the fuzziness is a tad weird, but they're really yummy and I see them in fruit salads all the time.
I love kiwis
and i can't eat pumpkin seeds :(
But I don't think this is really that weird. healthy food always keeps you looking fit/hot.
This isn't that weird, I love kiwis and green beans :D
I LOVE green beans :)
Thankfully I love all of these foods, especially kiwi. Fruits and vegetables can be so innovative. I mean, with all of the skin masks and face products I use to fight acne, it always seems as if my natural homemade masks work the best.
I thought this was gonna be about foods you look hot WHILE eating... and this being Cosmo, I expected bananas and ice cream cones to be on the list.
@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - Lol Cosmo is so ridiculous with that. I expected the same.
I like this post though, good info. A few months ago Lovelyish (or maybe Healthkicker) posted a list of foods that look like the body parts they're good for, and I printed it out
I eat all these (except pumpkin seeds.. but I do eat them around halloween).
These are all so gimmicky.
Eat less (or for those with eating disorders who are wrecking their metabolisms and thereby stagnating weight loss, eat more), and exercise more!
Very simple formula.
These aren't that weird at all...
