They say mothers know best but sometimes, even mothers need help too when it comes to making the right decision for their child, especially when it comes to their health. It is normal for moms to seek child care advice and parenting tips from experts as well as from family and friends with parental experience. However, there will be instances when they would end up more confused and less confident to make a decision after hearing varying recommendations or contradicting views.
NIDO3+ launches #CheckTheLabel, and educational campaign to encourage mothers to read and have a better understanding of food labels, so they can make smarter and healthier choices for their child. By checking the label, moms can verify nutritional claims, compare brands and choose which one offers the best value for money.
There's an instance during Grocery time that I take much time in checking the labels of the food that I am going to buy, most specially the expiration date. Sometimes if I am with my kids they felt that it's a decade already inside the grocery store. Well, that's a mommy who always check the items to make sure it is safe to serve for her family.
How To Read Labels
When checking food labels, take a look at the ingredients which are listed in the order of highest to lowest quantity. Watch out for health-sensitive ingredients such as sugar, salt, saturated fat, and sodium. When it comes to these, moderation is always key to better prevent the risk of obesity, diabetes and other lifestyle-related diseases.
Next, review the nutrition facts. It is important to go through each one to determine whether or not a particular food product meets the daily nutritional requirements of children, especially during their crucial growing-up years. Knowing the nutritional content can determine if a child is eating a healthy, balanced diet.
Another good reason to check the label is to identify nutrients that are unique to a brand. Not all food products like milk are created the same, so choose the one that provides for your child's needs, and more.
Developed by the best of Nestle Research, NIDO3+ is the only milk brand with Lactobacillus PROTECTUS, millions and millions of live good bacteria that maintain the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, which in turn help strengthen the immune system. This unique pro biotic can be found in every glass of NIDO3+ along with other essential nutrients such as: Prebio 3, indigestible fibers that serve as food for good bacteria to grow and survive; DHA, ALA, LA and Taurine to support proper brain structure, and high levels of vitamins A, D, Calcium and Zinc to support overall growth and development.
Sarah Lahbati Checks The Label
Lending her voice and support to the campaign is proud NIDO3+ mommy, Sarah Lahbati. Having experienced the same challenge when it was time for her to choose a growing-up-milk for Zion when he turned three, the first-time mom learned that the best way for her to make a decision was to do research herself and check the labels on her options. And by precisely checking the label, Sarah Lahbati is assured that she made the right choice with NIDO3+.
During the event Sarah Lahbati shared that she experienced so many suggestions from her parents, in-laws and even relatives on how to choose the right food for her child. “Trust your instinct, do your own research, at the end of the day your the mother and you have to trust your instinct, whatever you do shopping for food or milk, you must read the label.”, Sarah said. Take a glimpse on the video of Sarah Lahbati during the event.
