Eating at least six portions of fruit and vegetables every day can reduce your stress levels and makes you less tense than those who avoid their greens, study shows.
Researchers from Australia’s Edith Cowan University examined the link between fruit and vegetable intake and stress levels of more than 8,600 people aged 25 to 91.
They found that those who consume at least 470g (16.5oz) of fruit and vegetables every day had 10 per cent lower stress levels than those who consumed under 230g (8oz).
