Study Finds Daily Fruit Juice Intake May Reduce Depression Scores
A four-week randomized controlled trial by Newcastle University found that adults who added a daily glass of 100% fruit juice or a smoothie to a healthier diet reported a modest but significant reduction in depression scores. Participants with initially low fruit and vegetable intake increased their consumption and experienced improved mental well-being. The peer-reviewed study suggests simple dietary changes may support mental health, with findings published in the British Journal of Nutrition.
