Fresh spinach, a bowl with all kinds of fruit or a delicious salad. It seems to boost your luck! A Warwick Medical School study found that the more pieces of fruit people ate daily, the better they felt.
For the study, data from several studies were analyzed. No fewer than 80,000 women and men answer questions about their daily eating habits, exercise, work and whether they smoked. In addition, they had to indicate how satisfied they were with their lives, whether they felt nervous, happy or unhappy. They were also asked whether they suffered from psychological problems.
Seven servings every day In the end, the happiest participants were found to eat seven servings of fruits and vegetables every day. In the study, a portion stood for 85 grams. If you consider that an apple usually already weighs 120 grams, it is quite a lot of fruit and vegetables in one day! The researchers did not look further at the types of fruit and vegetables they ate.
A clear cause has not yet been identified by the researchers. It is possible that fruit does not make you happier, but that happy people simply eat healthier.
