People who don’t eat fruits die early – Doctor warns

Clinical Nutritionist, Dr. Ben Nuako has warned that people who do not eat fruits risk early death, urging Ghanaians to make it a habit of eating fruits.

According to him, his argument is based on the fact that the human system does not produce vitamin C, unlike animals which is an integral part of good health and healthy living

He noted that when human beings do not eat fruits, although they will get some form of Vitamin C from vegetables they will eat, it cannot be able to protect the body like the vitamin C made from eating fruits.

He made this known when he spoke on Accra-based UTV.

He said “You cannot live without fruits. The reason is that animals are able to produce vitamin C in their system but the human body does not. The best source of vitamin C is fruits so you cannot say that you will not eat fruits. If you don’t eat fruits, that means you want to die early, you don’t want to be healthy”.
