5 reasons you need to eat more fruit

How to stay healthy

Your thoughts (76)

Today in Home Economics, we learnt why we should always eat fruits. The class was very interesting. Mrs. Williams explained it very well. She even brought some fruits to show us. She told us we don’t have to buy the expensive ones, we can buy cut fruits which are cheaper and we should always make sure we wash them very well before eating. She told us to tell our friends what she taught us. Since you guys are my friends, I will tell you everything!

Fruits like bananas, oranges and mangos are delicious and also very good for our body. Because they are natural, they don’t have any chemicals that can be bad for us. They are full of nutrients, which help our bodies stay healthy and strong.


Here are five things we can get from eating fruit:

  1. We are still growing, so our bodies need lots of energy. Fruits like banana, pineapple and pawpaw give lots of energy so we can be active and grow strong
  2. We all want to stay healthy, No one likes being sick. Fruits like mango, orange and tomatoes (yes tomato is a fruit!) are foll of vitamins and minerals that help our bodies fight disease
  3. Everyone wants great skin. Fruits like watermelon, lemon and orange are packed with nutrients that can help keep our skin smooth and glowing
  4. Do you want your hair to grow long and healthy? Go for avocado, pineapple and guava. They have nutrients and vitamins that can boost hair growth
  5. Fruits like lemon, apple, cucumber, avocado digest very fast and keep us feeling foll for longer

After the class, I promised myself to always eat fruit every day! And so should you.

Hey David-Akpan! Looking young and radiant is sometimes beyond what you eat. Sometimes, you just need to rest, exercise and lots of water too. Your body does not need all the sweets and sugary things but rather fruits and vegetables. We hope this helps.

Hey Khloe! Thanks for the comment. You do not have stunted growth so do not allow people to call you what you are not. Sweetheart, your height and your size is hormonal and the best thing you can do to boost your confidence is to love yourself the way you are. When you start to love yourself, other people will start to respect you too. Do not let this affect you. There is no particular way people are meant to look. You are to define what beauty and the perfect stature is for yourself. The moment you do this, you will see that others will start to admire you and they will also want to be like you. We hope this helps

Hey Gwina! Thanks for the comment. We believe every girl is beautiful regardless of her shape and size. This is what makes us all unique and special. We advise that you love your body and see the beauty in it. You can also lose weight by drinking water before your meal to make you eat less, eat in smaller portions, avoid sugary drinks and junk foods, eat foods that are rich in fiber, eat slowly and exercise. Please note that it takes a lot of work and effort and this won't change overnight. We hope this helps.
