Lifestyle: Healthy Living

As part of our healthy living project My colleagues and I are promoting people to start a healthy living lifestyle by eating healthy...


No one can just stop eating junk .. but everyone can start adding healthy food into their eating plans... including fruits and vegetables is very essential as it will help you maintain a better health.. stay young and prevent early illness and perhaps death...


Therefore, as part of promoting for healthy living we created posters and a blog so that people can view and think of how they might change their lives.. I personally never gave a thought about being healthy and add fruits and vegetables to my diet plan..


But after the research I have conducted for this project i surely have changed my mind and started eating more fruits and vegetables...

When God give you the most precious gift in life when through it away!!... Many people are not realizing the benefits around them... The fruits and vegetables... They head to medical clinics, spa's, and doctors... not realizing that all they need is what is in their kitchen to be adjusted.. 


During our research for the Healthy Living project I came across many beneficial information if you are wondering why fruits and not a McDonald's burger read below
Why fruits?
Fruits are nature’s wonderful medicines packed with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and many phyto-nutrients (Plant derived micro nutrients) . They are an absolute feast to our sight, not just because of their color and flavor but their unique nutrition-profile that help the body stay fit and healthy!
  1. Fruits are low in calories and fat and are a source of simple sugars, fiber, and vitamins, which are essential for optimizing our health.
  2. Fruits provide plenty of soluble dietary fiber, which helps to ward of cholesterol and fats from the body and to get relief from constipation as well.
