Fruits and Vegetables and Mental Health

6/10/2019

1 Comment

 
Mental health is a vastly growing concern of the modern age, with depression and anxiety spiralling out of control.  There have been well established links between physical activity and mental health but now there is a large study supporting the benefits of a plant based diet and mental health.

The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Leeds and the University of York, monitored the dietary habits of more than 40,000 citizens in the U.K. from 2009 to 2017.

The results of the study revealed a positive connection between the consumption of plant-based foods and mental well-being. Participants who ate large quantities of fruit and vegetables reported greater satisfaction with life.

The second point to take from the study is that frequency matters: increasing the frequency of vegetable consumption from never to four to six days a week can give a person the same increase in life satisfaction as being married.

For more about this study follow the link below:

While this study highlights the benefits of diet on mental health, there is also an established link between, chronic pain, especially back pain and neck pain, and mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression.  More about this in my next blog, but if you do suffer with depression and or anxiety and also spinal pain, give us a call at Point Clare Chiropractic. If we can relieve your pain it might help you deal with your other issues.

Great post, I must say you have made my day for your wonderful write-up. I am currently doing research on the importance of fruits to the human body. I really love all that you said about fruits. Please get some information from my <a href="https://www.tecreals.com/ecobank-online-banking/">blog</a> too. Thanks again for the nice write-up.
