Associations of specific types of fruit and vegetables with perceived stress in adults: the AusDiab study
Consumers of fruits and vegetables, such as apples, pears, bananas, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables may have a low tendency of experiencing high levels of perceived stress.
This study focused on the impact of consistent ingestion of fruits and vegetables on perceived stress levels in men and women. Data on the dietary choices and stress levels of 8,640 Australian men and women were obtained using validated food frequency questionnaires and perceived stress scores respectively.
Researchers noted that participants on diets rich in apples, pears, banana, legumes, oranges, and cruciferous vegetables reported having reduced perceived stress levels compared to their colleagues who ate little or none of these plant foods. This study further affirmed "the recommendations of "eating a rainbow" of colours may assist in preventing and/or reducing perceived stress."
