We know it is healthy, but did you know eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables results in less stress?
An Australian diabetes and lifestyle study examined 8,600 Australians between the ages of 25 and 91. The study concluded that people who ate at least 470 g of fruits and vegetables daily had 10% lower stress levels. Vegetables and fruit contain important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, carotenoids that reduce inflammation and, therefore, help to improve well-being. And now we know, help reduce stress!
