First Online Poll: 71 % say 'Fruit gives us nutrients'

Our first online poll saw the participation of 38 children from all 3 countries. We asked you 'Why do you consider eating fruit as a healthy eating habit?' The message from this survey was clear. Do Eat Fruit!

The majority of all those who took part (71%) regard eating fruit as an important habit because they believe they are adding more nutrients into their body. In fact eating fruit does provide nutrients that are vital for health and the maintenance of our body. 15% thought that the risk of getting sick is reduced when they eat fruit. They too were right! 7% eat fruit to keep fit.

Research tells us in fact that fruit stimulates our memory, has a positive effect on our brains and makes you feel better. Apart from nutrients it contains fibers and vitamins. It is the most natural form of food and more importantly it is not expensive!
