Can vegetables and fruits reduce stress ?
Eating a diet rich in fruit and vegetables is associated with less stress, according to the new research. The findings revealed people who ate at least 470 grams of fruits and vegetables daily had 10 percent lower stress levels than those who consume less than 230 grams.
Minimizing your intake of highly processed foods and beverages and eating more whole foods such as vegetables, fruits, beans, fish, nuts, and seeds can help ensure that your body is properly nourished. In turn, this may improve your resilience to stress.
