Want to be happier in life? Eat more fruits and vegetables

This research is the first of its kind to unravel the causation of how happiness, the consumption of fruit and vegetables and exercising are related, rather than generalising a correlation.

A new study has found that fruit and vegetable consumption and exercise can increase levels of happiness. The findings of the study were published in the 'Journal of Happiness Studies.'

While the link between lifestyle and wellbeing has been previously documented and often used in public health campaigns to encourage healthier diets and exercise, new findings showed that there is also a positive causation from lifestyle to life satisfaction.
