Keep Healthy Eat Fruit Everyday!

Fresh fruit comes in a wide variety of colours and flavours. Whether eaten raw, mixed with salad, used in desserts or cooked in hot dishes, it is all the same delicious.

Rhoda NG, a registered dietitian, says, “Fruit contains abundant amount of vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre, and it is a particularly good source of vitamin C (see table 1). Fruit also contains antioxidants, such as carotene, bilberry, anthocyanins and lycopene, which help slow down body ageing and lower risks of chronic diseases.”
