00:00A daily glass of 100% orange juice may offer more than vitamin C.
00:04A new UK study found a possible link to better mental well-being.
00:08Researchers followed 42 adults between ages 18 and 65.
00:13Their diets initially contained very little fruit and vegetables.
00:16The four-week trial divided participants into three groups.
00:20One group made no dietary changes.
00:22Another increased fruit and vegetables to five servings daily.
00:25The third could count five ounces of 100% fruit juice toward that goal.
00:30Researchers found notable improvements in the juice and smoothie group.
00:34But the study does not prove juice directly reduces depression.
00:38Scientists point to flavonoids as one possible explanation.
00:41These plant compounds may support gut bacteria and brain signaling.
00:45Orange juice also provides vitamin C and folate.
00:48Both nutrients play important roles in overall brain and body function.
00:52Experts say 100% fruit juice can fit into a balanced diet.
00:56But whole fruits and vegetables should remain part of daily meals.
01:00The findings suggest nutrition may play a role in supporting mental well-being.
