Eating Vegetables and Fruits Can Reduce Depression

THE New Zealand researchers found a link between eating fruits and vegetables in large quantities, with happy feelings.

"These findings suggest that fruit and vegetable intake associated with other aspects of human development, is more than just a feeling of happiness," wrote lead researcher, psychologist from the University of Otago, Tamlin Conner.

In a study published in the British Journal of Health Psychology, researchers included 405 students as participants.

During 13 days in a row they noted akitivitas eat in a diary, ranging from the number of servings of fruit and vegetables per day, desserts to various potato dishes.

The participants also filled out daily questionnaires to measure creativity, curiosity, and their psychological development.
