Study Finds Daily Fruit Juice Intake Linked to Lower Depression Scores
A four-week randomized trial by Newcastle University found that adults with low fruit and vegetable intake who added a daily glass of 100% fruit juice or a smoothie to their diet reported significantly lower depression scores. Both groups increased fruit and vegetable consumption, but only those including juice or smoothies showed improved mental well-being. The peer-reviewed study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition and funded by the Fruit Juice Science Centre, suggests simple dietary changes may benefit mental health.
