People don't need to go to the doctors every month for checkups to live a healthy life but should ask themselves if the food they eat everyday is healthy.

These are words of Dr Epeli Nailatikau who said questions now need to be asked if people in Fiji are using healthy ingredients to prepare their meal.

Nailatikau said he has received positive feedback from a lot of people who have started to use Virgin coconut oil to prepare their meals and this can be seen as a first step for healthy living.
