Nutritious and healthy head start

- NH Nutri Grain with purple sweet potatoes fulfils daily nutrient requiremen­ts perfectly.

IT has been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day – countless studies have supported this view, yet many of us skip breakfast due to our hectic lifestyle. If we want to tackle the day with gusto, how can we take on the world on an empty stomach?

Vaulting ahead with multigrain and purple sweet potato

Today’s lifestyle can be demanding and meeting these challenges is easier when we are in the pink of health. One of the ways we can do so is by consuming breakfast. As its name suggests, breakfast highlights the period between our last meal before sleeping and upon waking up in the morning – some eight to 12 hours without food or drink.

As food is a source of energy, it becomes important to eat before we begin our day. Both children and adults are often swamped with activities that take up precious time and energy.

This makes the type of food we eat important to sustain our energy levels and concentrat­ion. Skipping breakfast means prolonging the hours we go without food, causing us to overeat during our next meal.

Countless research supports the importance of having breakfast – it helps kick-start your metabolism and provides energy for the day, improves concentrat­ion levels and prevents overeating.

Studies suggest that people who skip breakfast have a higher risk of developing high cholestero­l levels and Type Two diabetes. Additional­ly, there are studies showing that eating breakfast may improve memory, test grades and school attendance in children and adolescent­s.

With breakfast as such an important meal it’s no wonder why we’re constantly encouraged to start the day on a healthy note. For families pressed for time, NH Nutri Grains can offer some relief.

This instant health drink is made from 20 nutrient-rich grains, purple sweet potatoes and soluble fibres including FiberSol-2 and Inulin for your daily nutritiona­l needs.

Its stellar ingredient, purple sweet potatoes, is an excellent source of fibre, vitamins and minerals. This root vegetable also contains more antioxidan­ts than blueberrie­s.

Grains are jam-packed with protein, dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals and phytonutri­ents needed for good health, making this drink ideal for people of all ages.

What makes NH Nutri Grains unique is the technology behind it. All the grains in the drink are produced by an extrusion process, which helps minimise nutrient loss, improves digestibil­ity of grains and enhances nutrient absorption by the body.

This process also improves the taste of grains, giving it a delightful taste and aroma.

A wholesome drink for the family

It takes almost no time at all to prepare this drink. Simply mix two scoops of NH Nutri Grains powder with cold or hot water to enjoy your daily staple of nutrients.

Additional­ly, this beverage comes without the overwhelmi­ng taste of wholegrain. Instead, it is rich and tasty and will appeal to a wide range of people, including children and the elderly.

NH Nutri Grains is ideal for pregnant women, diabetics and even those with high cholestero­l and high blood pressure. Meanwhile, children can gain benefits such as better immunity and feel energised throughout their day.

Harness the goodness of grains and purple sweet potato and feel ready to take on the world. With NH Nutri Grains, you and your family can get a flying start to your day while instilling the right habits to your children.
