16 Jan Eat Your Way to Health and Happiness
When it comes to healthy eating, each of us has different opinions and ideas. But one thing everyone agrees on is that we should eat more fruits and vegetables.
Why? Our diet has tremendous effects on our short-and lon-term health, especially when it comes to obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Eating fruits and vegetables is one of the simplest way to lose weight, eat better and feel better. But did you know that eating fruits and vegetables may help you feel happier? Researchers found that integration of 8 serving of fruits and vegetables into daily diets increase in life satifaction equivalent to what an unemployed person feels after finding a job.
Depending on age, gender, pshysical activity and overall health, your goal should be 5 to 13 serving of fruits and vegetables.
