Notes:
-          An apple, box of fruit/ week – keep people stay healthy – especially children under 14
-          Many families do shopping once a week – frozen food – poor diet
-          Doctor advice to make healthy food choice -> increase health, nutrition, blood test result
-          Buying medicine, antibiotic are more expensive than same amount of money to buy fruits
Summary:
Based on research at the local families at Coffs Harbour in the Grafton areas showing that an apple a day or a box of fruits per week will keep people stay healthy especially children under age of 14. Many families are young families do shopping once a week with the choice of frozen food and make poor diet. Doctor advice to make a healthy food choice by increase fruit intake in their meal will increase health problem, more nutrition diet and improve blood test result. Doctor emphasised that buying medicine such as antibiotics are more expensive than same amount of money to buy fruits.

Personal Reflection:
This is an interesting article for everybody learning about the importance of healthy diet, by eating more fruits and vegetables daily could help people life is healthier and happier, which save the government healthy system budget a huge amount of money. Especially saving children life, they need more attention in the aspect of taking fruits, healthy diet choice in their daily life rather than junk food.
