Fruits

Fruits are available all the year round. No one therefore has reason not to take them. The issue perhaps lies in which one is preferred.

Did you know that you could achieve your body’s minimum fruit requirement for health living by simply patronising different fruits in season?

www.nutrition-and-you.com describes fruits as nature’s wonderful medicines packed with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and many phyto-nutrients, offering nutrition and protection.

“They help body keep fit and healthy,” it adds. “Fruits are low in calories and fat and are a source of simple sugars, fibre, and vitamins, which are essential for optimising our health.

“Fruits provide plenty of soluble dietary fibre, which helps to ward of cholesterol and fats from the body and to get relief from constipation as well.”

Currently in Nigeria, there are many fruits in season: orange, pawpaw, water melon, tangerine, banana, pineapple, walnut and more.

Fruits are particularly appealing not just for their taste and nutrition, but also for their variety of shapes and exotic colours.

So, wait no further, go for that fruit.
