Milo helps parents pack in nutrition for children at start of school year

PETALING JAYA: Milo recently held a three- day ontheground activation for Milo UHT at 1Utama, Bandar Utama here to aid parents with children going back to school through ‘ Pack in the Energy for Champions: Bento Box Workshop’.

“We are on a mission to help parents ensure that their children receive proper nutrition that not only benefits their mental and physical development but also meet their daily energy needs,” said Nestlé ( Malaysia) Berhad Nestlé Ready-to-Drink Business Unit, Milo consumer marketing manager Angeline Lim.

“Our children’s day is much bigger than we think. Research has shown that approximately 80 per cent of energy stored is lost overnight,” said Lim.

The workshop also featured Georgen Cooking dietician and founder Georgen Thye who highlighted the dietary needs of a growing child and pointers for preparing a balanced homeprepared recess box based on Malaysian Healthy Plate model of ‘Quarter- Quarter-Half’.

“As the first meal of the day, the importance of breakfast cannot be overstated. One out of three school children has lower levels of physical activity when they skip breakfast,” said Thye.

Easy and convenient to pair with wholesome and balanced home- packed meals, Milo UHT helps time- pressed parents ensure their children are getting adequate amount of energy to get through their day.

Milo UHT contains Activgo, a unique combination of Protomalt, essential vitamins and minerals for efficient energy release from food. The nutritious beverage also contains calcium and Vitamin D to help maintain stronger bones and teeth.
