Fruits and vegetables have particularly been pointed out in bringing happiness to those who eat them.

In one study published in the American Journal of Public Health, increased fruit and vegetable consumption was found to increase happiness, satisfaction, and wellbeing. The study that involved 12, 000 individuals found that people who had up to 8 portions of fruits and vegetables a day had up to 0.24 life-satisfaction points. This amount of satisfaction can be equated to the sort that one experiences after moving from unemployment to employment.

Another study also found that indeed, eating healthy and particularly fruits and vegetables added happiness to one’s life. Although happiness may influence a person’s eating habits and hence happy people may tend to eat healthy foods, researchers agree that there is strong evidence to support that indeed healthy eating brings about happiness.
