"Happiness Peaks at 7-8 Fruit Servings a Day"

 There is a new study that has been published by the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that eating 7-8 fruit/ vegetable servings a day may make you happier. As we all know there is a lot of speculation with studies (the way they are conducted, how results are determined, what they mean...etc). According this article though, there is a strong strong correlation between emotional well being and what you put into your body. And the good news is, it;s Fruits and vegetables... which is what we serve here at Fruit Occasions!

 

"Using data covering 80,000 randomly selected British individuals along with seven accepted measures of well-being, they found that happiness and mental health rise in proportion to the number of daily servings of fruit and vegetables, peaking at 7-8 servings of 2.8 ounces each. ...

....Even after isolating confounding variables, it was found that individuals consuming at least 7 servings a day were 2.7 percent happier than those who eat almost no fruit and vegetables."

So here is our question: Does eating more fruits and 

vegetables make you happier?........ 

                    Or are people that are happier more likely to 

eat more fruits and vegetables?
