#CheckTheLabel : Knowing What's Best For Your Child


We're almost in the mid school year but the to-do list is still never ending for us moms, especially what to give for the kids. Yes, a hectic time indeed for them, and for their tummies.
Being a mom is difficult, since we all want to give our children a strong nutritional foundation. But how are we going to do that, really?

Of course, mothers know best but sometimes, even mothers need help when it comes to making the right decisions 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.
Healthy meal is crucial, and we all need to know about proper nutrition to assure the family's health completely.
Giving our kids the best start in life, and help instill healthy habits that will last a lifetime, us moms must lead by example.
If uncertain where to start, I recommend you to follow Nido's journey on helping moms understand the nutritional path since they will be launching a campaign that will provide the knowledge in making healthy choices for the entire family.
NIDO® 3+ launches #CheckTheLabel, an 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.

How to read food 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.
Expiry dates are vital.
Sometimes you'll notice the Best Before indication but other times it is written as Use By
So, what's the difference?

Best Before means if you take that product before the date indicated on the label, meaning you'll be getting the best quality guaranteed. The freshness is at it's peak, the nutritional content is also guaranteed. Whatever is declared on the label, that's what you're really taking.

Use by is up to the date indicted, should no longer use the product. Specially when it comes to fresh items in the market like chicken , meat , anything raw.
For any product, don't take chances specially when giving it to your kids. Because this is the guarantee of the manufacturer that it is still fresh and of high quality.
Developed by the best of Nestlé Research, NIDO® 3+ 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 probiotic can be found in every glass of NIDO® 3+ 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; 
  • High levels of vitamins A, D, Calcium and Zinc to support overall growth and development 

Sarah Lahbati on checking the label
Lending her voice and support to the campaign is proud NIDO® 3+ 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 NIDO® 3+.
Everyone will have opinions on what will be best for your child.
So how do you really know what is best for your kid?
