Dutch Lady Purefarm | Dutch Lady 7-Days Milk Breakfast Challenge

by bbxemily - Friday, September 30, 2016

we used to hear phrases like "drink your milk so you'll grow big and strong!!!". we started drinking milk since young, but our intake decreases as we grow older. some people simply rolled their eyes because they fear that it will add too much fat to their diet. others may leave it out because they believe that they no longer need it.

with so many herb-infused, caffeine-pumped energy drinks, and other artificially contrived beverages in the market, there are plenty that are mere sugar, flavoring, artificial ingredients, and high doses of caffeine that have even come under fire from the health experts. rather than consuming all these "artificial" drinks, why not sip on a cold nutritious glass of natural milk instead?

so i received a basket of Dutch Lady Purefarm UHT milk at my doorstep the other day, and i my day was all brighten by this beautiful sky blue package with a hearty breakfast box in it. thank you so much Dutch Lady Malaysia for sending this over to me!!!..:D

Dutch Lady Malaysia, a trusted brand since 1963, has been spreading the goodness of milk through various product innovations. Dutch Lady Malaysia aims to have milk as part of everyone's life, where it is celebrated not just for its nutritional benefits, but also for the delightful moments of joy, fun and togetherness that milk brings.

as we have already known, milk consumption is essential to maintaining good health and is a great source of calcium for all ages. despite knowing the importance, yet statistics shows that 49% of Malaysian children do not get enough calcium in their diets, and the average calcium intake among the Malaysian adults is 50% below the recommended nutrient intake. this nutritional gap may lead to a brittle nation..:O

Dutch Lady Malaysia is currently running a campaign called #SarapanDutchLady to encourage Malaysian to incorporate milk into our everyday life, and this can be done with the very first meal of the day - BREAKFAST.

in conjunction to this campaign, i have taken part in the Dutch Lady 7 Day Milk Breakfast Challenge. read further to find out how i incorporate Dutch Lady Purefarm milk in my seven days breakfast challenge..:)

Breakfast Routine

to be honest, i am not AT ALL a breakfast person. i have no habit of starting my day with breakfast, instead my first meal of the day would be lunch, or sometimes brunch. i can say that the hunger pangs is not that strong after all, although i have leave my stomach empty for more than 12 hours, and yet, i never have gastric before *true fact*. this has be me for the past years.

thus, taking up this challenge is indeed a challenge for me. i could not consume heavy breakfast for i would have major stomachache after that. so throughout the 7 days challenge, my meals are pretty "light" in a way that i added fruits most of the time.

although i am a major breakfast skipper, i do aware of the importance of having breakfast. i hope after seven days i would still continue to motivate myself to make pretty breakfast combinations..:)

Goodness of Milk

did you know that milk is considered "nature's wellness drink"? this creamy white beverage is full of calcium, that have been proven to increase bone health and density. also, adults can benefit from drinking milk to help keep their bones strong, which will reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.

there are several benefits from drinking milk other than just ‘strong bones’.

Dutch Lady Purefarm is also rich with essential nutrients - some of which our body cannot generate on its own, such as protein which lead the role in our growth and development; Vitamin A is crucial for healthy eye function; Vitamin B2 is important to support cellular functions; and Vitamin D3 aids in absorption of calcium and phosphorus.

Importance of having Milk at Breakfast

breakfast is the ideal opportunity to help kick start the day right, for a glass of milk in the morning provides the nourishment your body needs to regulate itself.

after consuming milk in the morning for seven(7) consecutive days, i do noticed the difference taking place in my body. drinking milk in the morning helped lengthen the time of feeling full, and thus, my calorie intake decreased during the lunch hour.

any amount of milk consumed is beneficial, but two(2) servings of milk a day helps to meet your nutritional requirement and one(1) serving during breakfast can provide 200mg of calcium to jump start your daily nutritional intake. this is all it takes to get 100% of your calcium needs.

with the many benefits of drinking milk and the numerous of easy ways to consume milk it is a no-brainer to incorporate milk into a daily breakfast diet.

so bottoms up to your health – drinking milk everyday will do your body good!!! you are never too old to reap the rewards of drinking milk..:)
