Eating more white foods generally does not directly make the skin whiter. Skin color is mainly determined by the content of melanin, and the nutrients in white foods may have an auxiliary effect on skin health, but cannot change the synthesis or distribution of melanin. White foods such as milk, tofu, Tremella fuciformis, etc. contain high-quality protein, calcium, or plant gums, which help maintain skin elasticity and moisture balance. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, white enters the lungs and the lungs dominate the fur. Moderate intake of white food may indirectly affect the skin condition by improving lung function. But these foods do not contain ingredients that directly inhibit melanin, and their pigments will not be transferred to the skin through digestion and absorption.
Some white foods such as Job's tears and Poria cocos have certain water promoting and moisturizing effects, which may help improve skin dullness. However, dark and yellow skin is often related to genetic, sun exposure, endocrine and other factors, and relying solely on dietary regulation has limited effectiveness. Attention should be paid to certain white processed foods such as refined rice and flour, as excessive intake may accelerate skin glycation and aging.
It is recommended to improve skin tone through a balanced diet combined with sun protection care. Fruits rich in vitamin C, such as fresh dates and kiwis, can be consumed in moderation. If necessary, consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for differentiation and use of whitening formulas. There are individual differences in skin color, and a healthy complexion is more important than simply pursuing fairness.
