The researchers studied some 40,000 persons and report that those consuming more fruits and vegetables report better mental health and higher life satisfaction than matched controls.  They also lament that the majority of UK citizens still fail to eat at least 5 portions of fruits and veggies a day.  I’d hasten to say that most Americans don’t hit that target either.  If you do want to feel wonderful in mind as well as in body, fill your meals with fruit and vegetables. #mind #body #fruits #vegetables #goodfeelings #healthnews #healthtips Neel Ocean, Peter Howley, Jonathan Ensor.
