Based on previous research that found that particularly obscure, green leaves, such as spinach, are rich in folic acid, help to increase the production of mood stabilizers in the brain like serotonin and dopamine. Studies conducted at the University of Sydney in Australia, see 60,000 Australia aged more than 45 years. Researchers measured participant of consumption of fruits and vegetables, lifestyle factors and the psychological pressure of two: 2006-08-2010. The psychological pressure is measured using a scale of psychological discomfort Kessler, a 10-item questionnaire measuring symptoms of anxiety and depression. The usual fruit and vegetable consumption was assessed using short questions and validated. The researchers found that participants who ate three or four servings of vegetables daily had a 12 percent lower risk of stress than those who eat between zero and one serving daily.
And eat five to seven servings per day give a lower risk of 14 percent. The benefits are even more obvious when it comes to women. Women who eat three or four servings a day of vegetables have an 18 percent lower risk of stress.
But women who eat five to seven servings of lower risk 23 percent stress than women who consumed one or fewer servings a day. Investigators said at the start of the study the highest stress-related features include: being a woman, a young, have lower education and income, Overweight/obesity, smoking and being physical is currently not active. Only fruit consumption does not have a significant relationship with a lower incidence of stress, they are. And there is no significant association between levels of fruits and vegetables--more than seven servings daily intake and a lower incidence of stress.
' This study showed that moderate daily consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with lower levels of psychological stress, ' says Dr. melody Ding School of public health from the University of Sydney. ' Also reveals that a moderate daily intake of just vegetables is associated with lower incidence of psychological stress.
Moderate intake of fruits just doesn't seem to give significant benefits on psychological distress people. ' Several studies have found that fruits and vegetables, alongside or separately, which is associated with a lower risk of depression and higher levels of well-being through a variety of measures of mental health. We found that fruits and vegetables are more protection for women than for men, suggesting that women may benefit more from fruits and vegetables, said first author and Ph.D. student at the University of Sydney, Binh Nguyen.
The author says that further study should investigate the possibility of a ' threshold ' between the middle and upper levels of intake of fruits and vegetables and psychological stress.
YOU EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WHEN THEY EAT AT HOME, SAYS STUDY
A new study has confirmed that people who ate at home have a healthy diet.
Researchers at the University of Washington found that cooking at home, people consume more fruits and vegetables, avoid unhealthy foods offered elsewhere. The researchers used the rate of a healthy diet (HEI), the supply of quality size of the United States, to evaluate more than 400 adults. This measure if the diet gave them the right mix of fruits, vegetables, and other items. Participants who consumed food only at home three times a week scored 67 in HEY.
But people who had dinner at home six times a week had a score of 74.
Professor Adam Drewnowski of the University of Washington said the study's author: ' by cooking more often at home, have a good meal there is a significant increase in cost.
' If you go any further, have a less healthy diet with higher costs. A significant difference, even with relatively small research sample. '
