Health Tip of the Week Registered Pharmacist Bob Stresing and the Serv-U Team 254991028 Eat More Fruits & Vegetables According to new research, which looked at more than 12,000 people, consuming more fruits and vegetables may make you happier. Happiness and satisfaction with life increased with each serving of fruits and vegetables eaten per day. The biggest difference was seen between those who ate less than one serving and those who ate more than eight. Researchers speculate the reason for the benefit may be that the fruits and vegetables increase serotonin levels and affect brain chemistry through their action on microbes in the intestines. The study doesn't prove cause-and-effect, only an associaton.
