Many children would rather feed on junk food than eat fruit and vegetables.

Junk food includes chips, sausages, dip fried chicken, kebabs and all the other fast foods that are a favorite to most children.

Both fruit and vegetables are important for a child’s growth and development.

Whereas eating a lot of junk food may be harmful to a child’s health, fruit and vegetables will only make one healthier.

It’s important for children to have a variety of fruits and vegetables. These may come in different colours such as green, red and yellow. 

Fruits and vegetables are always colorful and pleasant to the eye and mouth. These include mangoes, apples, bananas, water melon, carrots, leafy greens and broccoli among others.

Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins and fiber that prevent people from getting chronic diseases and that is why, they are very vital in every child’s diet.

When children eat fruit and vegetables in their everyday diet, they will be healthier, stronger and happier.You can chose to eat a different colour and type of fruit everyday to make it more fun.
