Jul 16, 2022

New Delhi, July 16 (ANI): According to a recent study from the College of Health and Life Sciences at Aston University, people who regularly consume fruits are more likely to have better levels of positive mental well-being and are less likely to experience depressive symptoms. The study was published in the British Journal of Nutrition. According to the researchers' results, the frequency of fruit consumption is more significant to psychological health than the total amount consumed over the course of a normal week. The study also discovered that persons who consume low-nutrient savoury foods like crisps are more likely to report higher symptoms of anxiety. People who often consumed nutrient-poor savoury snacks (like crisps) were more likely to report reduced mental wellness and experience "daily mental slips" (also known as subjective cognitive failures).
