"Eating Kiwifruit: A Quick Mental Health Boost, Study Finds"

A study conducted by researchers from the University of Auckland and the University of Otago suggests that consuming kiwifruit, and to a lesser extent vitamin C supplementation, can lead to mood-related improvements in as little as four days, particularly in individuals with low vitamin C levels. The study, which involved 155 adults with low vitamin C, found that kiwifruit supplementation improved vitality and mood within four days, peaking around 14-16 days, while vitamin C marginally improved mood until day 12. The findings highlight the potential benefits of vitamin C-rich foods and supplements on mental health and emphasize the importance of incorporating nutrient-rich foods into one's diet for overall well-being.
