According to Kristin Filer, with Providence Medford Medical Center, the UK recently did a huge study that looked at people who ate 5-7 servings of fruit and vegetables daily and found that those who ate more fruit and vegetables, showed reduced signs of stress.She says after 10 days, people reported that they had a huge increase in a feeling of vitality and flourishing in life, along with better motivation and mental clarity. Experts say the good feelings may have something to do with the amount of vitamins C and B in fruit and vegetables, along with antioxidants.
The study shows that complex carbohydrates may also contribute to the positive feelings because they have a longer impact on brain chemistry and provide longer lasting amounts of energy.
