In preparation for the celebration of World Juice Day on Oct. 17, Nigeria’s foremost fruit juice brand, Chivita, has called on Nigerians to adopt “everyday wellness’’ as a habit.
A statement by Ademola Mafikuyomi, Senior Brand Manager, Chivita, advised Nigerians to always pay close attention to their health and nutrition, and get the right vitamins and minerals to ensure an effective immune system.
Mafikuyomi said “A recently-published report by the World Health Organization (WHO) says that adequate fruit and vegetable intake are required to reduce nutritional deficiencies and increase resistance to infectious diseases.
“Nigeria has been described as one of the lowest per capital fruit juice consumption nations in the world, consuming two litres of juice per year as compared to average of eight litres by African countries and 20 litres globally.
“It is in view of this that Chivita is celebrating the second edition of its World Juice Day on Oct. 17.
