RESEARCH FINDS FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CONSUMPTION REDUCES STRESS
The researchers examined adults whose ages ranged from 25 to 91. It turns out that consuming more fruits and vegetables results in 10% less stress.
Researchers from University in Australia examined the link between fruit and vegetable consumption and stress levels of people aged 25 to 91. They found that those who consumed at least 470gr of fruit and vegetables each day had 10% lower stress levels than those who consumed under 230gr.
According to the UK National Health System (NHS), the average adult has a serving of fruit or vegetables of up to 80gr. The study suggested that by increasing this amount, stress levels could be reduced by about six servings per day. Lead researcher said the study found diets rich in fruit and vegetables boost mental health.
“Vegetables and fruits contain important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, flavonoids and carotenoids, which can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress and therefore improve mental health.”
