Double the Goodness with Soy & Walnuts - A healthier you with the new F&N NutriSoy Hi-Calcium Reduced Sugar Soya Milk with Walnuts

Heart health is important at any age. An estimated 17.7 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2015, representing 31% of all global deaths. Cardiovascular diseases continue to claim lives and, with no early symptoms. In Singapore, cardiovascular diseases account for 1 out of 3 deaths. Eating right and having a balanced diet is one of the preventive measures for a healthy heart.

F&N NutriSoy welcomes a new variant to its range of Healthier Choice soya milk drinks - F&N NutriSoy with Walnuts delivers with double the taste and goodness.

According to scientists from Pennsylvania, walnuts contain twice as much antioxidant compared to many other commonly consumed nuts and are ranked as the top nut for heart-healthy antioxidant.

Research has also shown that consumption of walnut helps to decrease the risk of cardiovascular
diseases as it helps to decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood pressure which are two of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (Journal of Nutrition, 2014).

Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, fibre and also increase good bacteria like Lactobacillus which are good for gut health (Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry,2017).

Naturally, cholesterol-free, lower in saturated fat and containing high amounts of protein, soya beans are the only vegetable source that contains all the essential amino acids for human nutrition (International Journal of Scientific & Technology Research, 2015).

Research also suggests that consumption of more plant protein such as soy, rather than animal protein, can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (Advances in Nutrition, 2015). Rich in iron, phosphorus, magnesium, B-vitamins, Omega-3 fatty acids and zinc, soy protein and the presence of isoflavones in soya milk are able to lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins, known as ‘bad’ cholesterol. This explains why consumption of soya beans as a dietary staple has been associated with lowering incidence of cardiovascular disease (European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 2017; Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2015).

Combining modern convenience and great taste, F&N NutriSoy with Walnuts offers a delicious blend and is truly a nutrition powerhouse in a glass. F&N NutriSoy with Walnuts is calcium-rich, cholesterol free, low in Glycaemic Index (GI) and low in sugar and saturated fat.

It is also a good source of protein, Omega-3 and Vitamin E. It is amazing how the small and humble soya bean and the incredible walnuts are packed full of nutrients with multiple benefits. F&N NutriSoy with Walnuts is the ideal beverage to complement a hearty lifestyle.

The F&N NutriSoy range carries the Healthier Choice Symbol by Health Promotion Board and is halal certified and suitable for vegetarians. It is also supported by the Singapore Heart Foundation as a heart-friendly drink. F&N NutriSoy with Walnuts retails at the Recommended Selling Price of S$2.25 per 1-litre pack and S$1.40 per 475ml pack. They are available in major supermarkets and hypermarkets and selected convenience stores.

MAGNOLIA Plus Lo-Fat Hi-Cal UHT Milk with Oats - Drink up pure goodness every morning with MAGNOLIA

Many Singaporeans are starting to understand the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, be it consuming a balanced diet or engaging in physical activities. One such healthy habit is to ensure a daily intake of a balanced breakfast, which helps nourish the body and mind in preparation for the day ahead.

Celebrating more than 80 years of delivering wholesome nutrition, MAGNOLIA continues its legacy of sharing the pure goodness of milk with the new MAGNOLIA Plus Lo-Fat Hi-Cal UHT Milk with Oats.

Touted as the most important meal of the day, breakfast nurtures the body with the right nutrients for a healthy boost of energy to kick-start the day. Whether young or old, the body needs to refuel with breakfast after a good night’s sleep. Consumption of breakfast has diverse benefits – not only does a balanced and delicious breakfast perk up the senses, breakfast intake has been observed to help with weight management [1] and to reduce the risk of stroke [2]!

A classic staple at breakfasts all over the world is oats with milk, appreciated as a delicious dose of double hearty goodness. Rich in dietary fibres, minerals and vitamins, oats have long been associated with many health benefits. Oats are also a wonderful source of beta-glucan, which is a form of a soluble dietary fibre. Strongly linked to reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases [3], beta-glucan contributes to a decrease in blood pressure [4] and it is recognised to have cholesterol-lowering properties5, helping to care for the heart. Regular intake of oat is also connected to improvements in gut health6, and aids satiety control by satisfying hunger due to its high fibre content7.

Over the decades, MAGNOLIA has been an essential breakfast companion for many generations, delivering the nutrition needed to start every day right and earning its reputation as a trusted household name. Now, the new MAGNOLIA Plus Lo-Fat Hi-Cal UHT Milk with Oats makes it even easier and more convenient to drink up much-needed nutrients and minerals every morning!

MAGNOLIA Plus Lo-Fat Hi-Cal UHT Milk with Oats - Available in multi-packs of six

MAGNOLIA Plus Lo-Fat Hi-Cal UHT Milk with Oats is the only UHT milk offering the pure goodness of oats and beta-glucan in Singapore. With a delicious blend of nutrient-dense milk and wholesome oats, MAGNOLIA Plus Lo-Fat Hi-Cal UHT Milk with Oats is higher in calcium and lower in saturated fat than regular milk. Furthermore, the new variant carries the Healthier Choice Symbol (HCS) by the Health Promotion Board (HPB), and it is also certified halal.

MAGNOLIA Plus Lo-Fat Hi-Cal UHT Milk with Oats - Recommended Selling Price (RSP) of S$4.70

From July 2018 onwards, consumers will be able to enjoy their morning boost with multipacks of six 230ml MAGNOLIA Plus Lo-Fat Hi-Cal UHT Milk with Oats, available at leading supermarkets and hypermarkets.
