North Shore Shape Up: Can eating colorful foods make you happier?

Putting a little color in your life never hurts — and it might help. Cleveland Clinic Wellness reports:

In a new study, people who ate more fruits and vegetables reported better mental well-being and “life satisfaction” than those who ate little produce, even after accounting for lifestyle, health, and socioeconomic factors. Like all population studies, this one shows a link but doesn’t prove cause and effect. (It could be, for instance, that people who are more balanced emotionally are more likely to choose fruits and vegetables.) But we already know how good colorful vegetables and fruits are for your overall health, so consider the mood effects a potential bonus!

Will it work for you? Put more fresh, colorful produce in your body every day and find out.
