Ensuring healthy eats for the family

PARENTS try to do their best for their children – they worry if their kids are not getting proper nutrition. The South East Asian Nutrition Survey found that while overnutrition is commonplace, nearly one in 10 Malaysian children showed signs of undernutrition, based on their weight-to-age ratio.

More than the one-third surveyed did not meet the national recommended nutrient intake for energy, calcium and vitamin D. The results comprised children aged between six months and 12.

Deficiencies in required nutrients affect children in every way. Having enough energy is necessary to ensure children have enough for the day, hence getting the amount right is crucial. The survey proves many consume empty calories high in fat and sugar and lacking in nutrients.

Such eating habits will lead to obesity along with many health problems. The solution could be a meal that strives to deliver the health benefits of a nutritious diet.

NH Nutri Grains contains 20 nutrient-rich grains, purple sweet potato and active ingredients such as inulin, along most of the nutrients to ensure optimal growth for a child, while maintaining the well-being of adults and the elderly.

Inulin acts as a prebiotic promoting the growth of good bacteria within the digestive tract. The bacteria improves the absorption of important nutrients such as calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc.

Purple sweet potato is rich in antioxidants and a good source of fibre, vitamins and minerals. It helps boosts the immune system and regulates blood sugar, with studies showing memory enhancing effects from its consumption.

NH Nutri Grains contains almonds, pearl barley, walnuts, flax seed, buckwheat, soybean and more.

Besides a delicious taste, these grains provide powerful health perks, from regulating blood sugar, reducing hunger, being rich in minerals and essential fatty acids, to decreasing cholesterol and improving digestion. These grains are extruded for easier digestion.

A glass of NH Nutri Grains makes sure absorption of essential minerals is maximised. The extrusion process also enhances the taste of the grains.
