Summary

This study tests whether adding polyphenol-rich beans and lentils to the daily diet can improve skin health in women aged 45-65. Over 12 weeks, 50 women will eat either pulses or white rice, and researchers will measure skin sensitivity to UV light, moisture loss, and redness. The goal is to see if these foods can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, leading to healthier skin.
