Many foods can reduce the risk serious diseases and improve human well-being. At the same time, some of them have a positive impact not only on physical, but also on mental health.

During the study, experts identified three “pillars of health” that can improve people's mental well-being. Among them are sufficient sleep, physical activity and consumption of raw fruits and vegetables.

1,100 people participated in the study. Those who ate portions of raw fruits or vegetables daily reported feeling better.

However, those who ate little or no of these foods, or ate a lot of them, reported the opposite effect and felt worse. In this regard, experts emphasize, it is very important to monitor the amount of products used and not abuse them.

Also, scientists remind that an important aspect of improving mental health is the right amount of sleep. The study found that those who slept 8 hours a day began to feel better.

And those who slept 9-10 hours a day reported a decrease in depressive symptoms. At the same time, the quality of sleep is extremely important, as a good sleep that is not so long will have a better effect on the body than a long but bad sleep.
