When it comes to breakfast, parents like me make sure that it is healthy and I also make sure my family won't skip their breakfast. This is one of the things I learned from my parents.
Last April 30, Energen launched their latest campaign about nutrition and they started their promotion through the community of Barangay Commonwealth where they launched the Energen Healthy Breakfast Movement where residences of Brgy. Commonwealth enjoyed the delicious and easy-to-prepare nutritious cereal drink, Energen. Of course an outdoor event wouldn't be complete without the lecture and some fitness, since we're talking about health and nutrition. During the launch families were educated and encouraged to appreciate the importance of a healthy and nutritious breakfast to start the day right.
So aside from the free Energen for all, there were also free lecture, zumba dance which was led by Rochelle Pangilinan and of course some games and prizes to make the day livelier.

According to the Department of Science and Technology – Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI), 6 out of 10 Filipino households suffer from poor nutrition. Having poor or under nutrition stunts mental and physical development while over nutrition leads to obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. That’s why it is really important to have a healthy breakfast.

This activity of Energen is in cooperation with the Department of Health League of Registered Nutritionists and Dietricians. They have been actively supporting and educating Filipino families about the importance of having a healthy breakfast through feeding programs and community-based activities. One of these is the Breakfast Supplementary Feeding Program in Minalin, Pampanga where Energen has been an instrument in improving the weight and nutrition of malnourished kids.

 “Breakfast is the most important meal. Studies have shown that consuming a nutritious breakfast helps ensure that children and adults will have the energy that can sustain their productivity throughout the day. It also helps contribute to the development of mental and physical abilities,” according to Mr. Greg Anonas, Energen Marketing Manager.
Dr. Gemilinao D.L. Aligui, former president of the Philippine Association of Nutritionists shares that “Energen also helps empower people to know how to be nutritionally able and decisive about their health.”
The Energen Healthy Breakfast Movement will continue to spread the word on the following communities at Barangay Tinago Sports Complex in Cebu City on May 21 and at Davao City Recreational Center – Almendras Gym, Davao City on May 28.

Energen got its different flavors like ginger, vanilla and chocolate and it is only P6.00 SRP at your favorite sari-sari stores, convenience stores or at the nearest supermarkets nationwide.
