Did you know certain fruits may support your mood?
A 10-year study of 40,000+ women found that diets higher in flavonoid-rich foods—like berries, apples, and citrus—were linked with greater happiness and optimism over time.
These colorful foods contain plant compounds that help support:
• Brain health
• Healthy inflammation levels
• The gut-brain connection
Interestingly, the study also found the relationship may go both ways—people who feel more optimistic may be more likely to keep eating healthy foods.
A simple reminder:
Sometimes supporting your mood starts with adding more color to your plate.
