This study found that eating raw fruits and vegetables is linked to better mental health outcomes, such as fewer depressive symptoms and higher positive mood, compared to processed (cooked or canned) options, which mainly predicted only higher positive mood.
The research involved 422 young adults from New Zealand and the U.S., and it controlled for factors like socioeconomic status, BMI, sleep, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol use to ensure accurate results.
The most beneficial raw foods for mental health included carrots, bananas, apples, leafy greens, citrus fruits, berries, cucumber, and kiwifruit, highlighting the importance of consuming raw produce to maximize mental health benefits.]
