Many people have heard this saying: When there is a wound on your body, you should not eat something with thick oil and red sauce, because it will cause scars to be left . Is this statement true or false? Today, we will let you go.
Determinant of skin color
Determinant of skin color is mainly the genetic gene ; there is also the regulation of endocrine hormones. For example, during the reproductive age of women, facial skin is susceptible to endocrine effects and melasma occurs; other stimulation of ultraviolet rays in the sun can also make the skin darker.
Why is soy sauce reddish-brown?
soy sauce is mainly made of soybeans, wheat, bran and other ingredients. The ingredients are rich in protein . Among them, tyrosine is fermented, oxidized, amylase hydrolysis and other processes to form melanoids, thereby producing a bright and shiny reddish brown color.
In addition, the pigment in dark soy sauce is the color produced by adding caramel manually.
Dispel concerns
Since the pigment of soy sauce cannot be absorbed by the human body and converted into pigment of the skin, so...
Eating more soy sauce will not deepen the pigment of the skin!
Eating other dark black foods such as black beans , black sesame, etc. will not cause the skin color to darken.
Friendly reminder
Injured skin will cause inflammation, stimulating the skin melanocytes in the affected area to secrete cytokine , activate the immune response, thereby increasing the production of melanin.
Therefore, after the skin has wounds, be careful to avoid being exposed to the sun to avoid melanocytes being activated by ultraviolet rays, resulting in melanin deposition.
In most cases, as time and inflammation decreases, pigmentation will gradually fade after inflammation. If there are any wounds, you can go to the hospital for treatment.
