To live healthy is the desire of everyone. A healthy life gives people more chance to do many things. To eat healthily throughout your life enables you to enjoy and live your life to the fullest. There are so many ways to keep yourself healthy. One of them is by consuming fruit. Fruit does wonders for your body. Fruit contains so much nutrition that it will give your body benefits and keep you healthy. For people at any age, especially children, fruits can protect from free radicals and contain anti oxidants that are good for the body. The great thing about consuming fruit is that it tastes great. Each and every fruit has a unique taste and as we spoil our tongue with the taste, fruit gives advantages to our body.
Consuming fruit is very important. So much so that the European Union worked together with the CSO (Centro Servizi Ortofrutticoli) and Italian Government to organise a project called “Fruitness, Enjoy it!” The project was started in 2006 and was first planned to run for three years. The great achievements from the campaign spurred the founders on to arrange a fund of €3.5 million so that it can run for another three years. A website, http://www.fruitness.eu is dedicated to support this project. The project encourages people to eat more fruit and fight against junk food and obesity. The mascot of the campaign is Mr. Fruitness. Mr. Fruitness is the man wearing a green super hero costume that gets his super powers by consuming fruits, whilst fighting against junk food and obesity. Mr. Fruitness is encouraging children and parents to be healthy by consuming fruit and the campaign is intended to reduce the obesity issue among children and adolescents in Sweden, Germany, Poland, Austria and the United Kingdom.
