Health Tip for Today


Eat More Fiber, Be Happier and Less Depressed



Benefits



Making it a habit to eat more fiber can actually make you a happier person. Researchers at Cardiff University in Wales who studied people that ate a lot of fiber found that they had fewer memory problems, enjoyed better moods, and they were less depressed. "The physical benefits of a high-fiber diet have been widely acknowledged amongst health care professionals for many years; however, this is the first time high-fiber intake has been associated with improved mental health." says researcher Andrew Smith, Ph.D.



Here are some tips to increase your daily intake of fiber:



Eat five servings per day of fruits and vegetables.

Eat bran cereals for breakfast.

Eat brown rice instead of white rice.

Replace white bread with whole grain bread.

To your terrific health!
