Celebrate nature’s treat on International Fruit Day

 

 

Mumbai: International Fruit Day, which is celebrated every year on July 1, is a special day that reminds us of the benefits of eating fruits and living a healthy life. This day reminds us that we need to consume more fruits and avoid eating junk food.

 

This day is the sweetest gift from nature. Fruits are not only tasty snacks; they are replete with all kinds of minerals and vitamins required for our body. Eating fruits keeps us healthy and hearty. 

In several cultures, fruits are used in traditions and festivals and are considered symbols of abundance and good fortune. Gradually, people are becoming more health-conscious. International Fruit Day gives them a chance to choose local and seasonal fruits. We get fresher food, support nearby farmers, and help protect the planet by reducing the need for long-distance transport.

On this occasion, it is essential for fruit lovers to visit their local markets and try new kinds of fruits they haven't tasted before. Plant fruit saplings in the terrace garden and share fruit with friends and relatives. These small actions help us feel more connected to our food and the Earth. Currently, summer is at its peak and various kinds of fruits are available in the market. So, enjoy the fruits of the season and stay healthy forever.
