Eating a diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables and low in fat may be good for the mind as well as the body, suggest results of a recent study. Researchers studying a group of adults who followed a healthy eating plan for four years found that they were more satisfied with their life than people who ate a normal, less healthy, diet.
Eating a diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables and low in fat may be good for the mind as well as the body, suggest results of a recent study. Researchers studying a group of adults who followed a healthy eating plan for four years found that they were more satisfied with their life than people who ate a normal, less healthy, diet. Such findings suggest that in addition to lowering a person's risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, a healthy diet may also make people happier.
