Bear Brand Adult Plus is Now Proven to Help Meet the Nutritional Needs of Adults According to a Study

November 25, 2021 - Manila Philippines – It is with no doubt that adults, day in and day out, face all kinds of challenges in pursuit of a better life, whether it's for their family or for themselves. From waking up early, commuting to work, powering through the day’s demands, and preparing again for another day—a cycle of doing the same tasks everyday can give them the feeling that they’re not getting anywhere in life. Although one adult’s daily challenge is different from another, there is one factor that is crucial to all adults for everyday progress—their ability to give it their all. But more often than not, they face one serious challenge: Lack of nutrition. This leaves many Filipino adults feeling drained, which keeps them from undertaking new challenges that can improve their lives. To build the strength to try new pursuits and improve personal well-being amidst life’s challenges, it’s necessary to focus on nutritional intake and be proactive in managing one’s health.

There are plenty of ways to take care of one’s health and well-being, such as good sleeping habits, a balanced diet, exercise, and more.  Another way to supplement the body with the right nutrients is by drinking milk. Many adults think that adding milk to a balanced diet is only for growing children, younger people, or seniors. However, it is also beneficial to adults who want to take proactive steps in maintaining good health. Science supports this claim through the results of a recent study conducted with adults who drink milk everyday as participants.

A 2020 study called “Effects of Fortified Adult Milk Drink Formula and a Stress Management on Work Productivity and Gut Microbiota of Filipino Adults” conducted by the University of the Philippines - College of Home Economics (UPCHE) in partnership with Nestlé Bear Brand Adult Plus shows that adults who drank Bear Brand Adult Plus every day during a 2-month intervention period were able to meet their daily nutrient needs as compared to those who were part of the control group that did not. The findings present that Bear Brand Adult Plus helps meet 100% of the daily nutritional needs of Filipino adults based on the Philippine Dietary Reference Intakes (PDRI) of the essential nutrients such as, Vitamin C, Zinc, and B Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12).

Start looking forward to a strong tomorrow, and have the confidence to give 100% in life, no matter what! Beyond taking care of oneself through exercise, sleep, and the right kind of food, drinking milk as a part of the daily habit can significantly improve health. It has the proper nutrients that provide strength to live better than yesterday and achieve small but consistent victories. Stop feeling drained, and start giving your 100% for a strong tomorrow. Drink Bear Brand Adult Plus — the milk that's proven to help complete the nutrients the body needs. To know more about it, watch this: Ibigay ang iyong 100% ngayon para sa matibay na bukas
