Nutritional biodiversity is a diet that focuses on the diversity of an organism's nutritional consumption or intake. Some believe this diversity to relate to the overall health and vitality of the organism - human or animal.[citation needed]

Although traditional diets emphasize a sufficient intake of fruit and vegetables, they do not emphasize the range or variety of this intake. Nutritional biodiversity encourages the consumption of about 10 - 15 different green vegetables over a period of a fortnight, rather than the same green vegetable every day for that same period. This extends to all types of fruits and vegetables.

Different fruits and vegetables provide different vitamins and minerals and in differing quantities, and it is this diversity that is essential to ensure that all nutritional needs are met. It does not require one to consume all types, but to at least have sufficient variety or diversity to reasonably allow for most vitamins and minerals to be consumed.
Fruit are very high in vitamins, for example Oranges are high in vitamin C and blueberries are high in antioxidants. The body needs all sorts of vitamins and nutrients.
It improves the body to get all the nutrients and vitamins calcium and antioxidants that helps the body's diet and health.
Fruits keep us healthy physically and mentally. Fruits are fulled of vitamins and minerals which supply your cells (the things you are made of) with nutrients to sustain life and ward off disease and sickness. They also make it easier to eliminate toxins from your body, the process is enabled by the fiber content in fruits and vegetables. By JTZH
