U.S. Potatoes Celebrate World Nutrition Day “Fuel For The Future”

Happy World Nutrition Day everyone! Celebrated on May 28, this year's theme for World Nutrition Day is “Fuel For The Future” which encourages us to learn about making informed food choices and developing healthful eating and physical activity habits.

I choose U.S. potatoes as my family's staple food because it is a nutritious food ingredient to incorporate into every meal. U.S. potatoes are great for sustainable living and providing us the nutrients and energy for our everyday daily routines and performance.

Do you know that one medium U.S. Potato provides about 110 calories of easy-to-digest calories, and it has zero cholesterol, zero sodium and zero fat! It also contains 26 grams of carbohydrates (9% daily value) to fuel one’s muscles and brain. While the Carbohydrates in it provides energy to sustain our energy levels and keep our day going.

U.S. Potatoes are also rich in Vitamin C (30% daily value) which makes healthier meals and play a key role in supporting the body’s immune system and Vitamin B6, with one medium potato providing 10% of the recommended daily value. Vitamin B6 is important for proper cell function and helps with metabolism.

U.S. Potatoes have 3 grams of plant-based protein per serving. Protein is the building block for growth and a key component of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues.

In conjunction with this day, U.S. Potatoes has invited Chef Jason Manson to curate 4 special recipes infused with nutritious U.S. Potatoes. Check them out below:

Dettol Helps New Parents Keep Their Little Ones Protected

As the world’s most trusted germ protection brand, Dettol Malaysia has embarked on a mission to help new parents keep their precious newborns safe and protected especially during their infancy period. According to the Global Hygiene Council, a newborn baby’s immune system only begins to produce its own antibodies at two to three months. Until their vaccination schedule starts, babies are notoriously susceptible to a range of common infections which include respiratory infections such as colds and flu, and gastrointestinal infections, such as diarrhoea and vomiting. In addition to continuing breast feeding, if possible, it is important to protect babies from potential infection around the home with 78% of baby toys containing infection causing microorganisms.

To ensure that parents are equipped with the best solutions to keep their environments safe from harmful bacteria, Dettol Malaysia has initiated an on-ground programme delivering over 240,000 ‘baby protection kits’ to new mothers. This will allow parents to disinfect and clean every inch of their household in preparation of bringing their little one home.

“In our environment, we’re exposed to hundreds and hundreds of antigens a day, from dust to pollen to viruses and to bacteria. As hygiene experts, we understand the difficulties parents face when it comes to ensuring their family is protected at home as well as outside. With Dettol, the world’s most trusted germ protection brand which kills 99.99% of viruses, bacteria and the COVID-19 Omicron variant, parents can easily feel confident, assured and have the peace of mind to take on any given day. We fall ill less often when everyday protection is made easy especially with Dettol’s extensive product range, and we believe we are in the best position to protect all Malaysians, parents and babies included, in our relentless pursuit of a cleaner and healthier world,” commented Tiffany Tang, Marketing Director of Health & Hygiene of Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.

Additionally, Dettol also recommends using Dettol Antibacterial Liquid & Disinfectant sprays for surfaces and laundry to keep baby protection at an optimum:

You’d do well to put your name down for Guardian Fun Run 2023! Guardian Malaysia’s exciting, fun-filled, and family-oriented Fun Run is back for its second edition and looks set to be another runaway success.

Angela Teo, Head of Marketing, Guardian Health and Beauty Sdn Bhd said: “The Fun Run this year promises to be an even bigger and better event than the Run we organised last year. Last year’s Run was an eye opener for us when MAEPS was turned into a SEA of GUARDIAN ORANGE T-Shirts with runners of all ages.

“We learnt how exercising, and running especially was so popular, not only with serious runners but also with families who want to be healthy and this popularity cuts across all generations.

“The Guardian Fun Run last year was special because it encouraged families to come and run including many children, mothers, and fathers and even grandparents. The sight of them running together to keep healthy makes us even more proud about holding this event and this is why we are holding it again this year.

“Indeed, our Live Smart & Healthy campaign in May and the Guardian Fun Run is a demonstration of our commitment to help our customers live smart and healthy.
