A Better and Stronger You in 2022

The first month of 2022 is almost over. How are your new year's resolutions going so far? Most of us started the year quite challenging. I got sick and am still recovering, glad that I had a healthy lifestyle so I can say that my immune system was strong enough to fight the virus. Now, after weeks in isolation and just staying in the room, I need to keep moving.

A better you in 2022

A recent study conducted by Movement Today showed many Filipinos have become less physically active since the start of the pandemic which made them experience back, muscle, and joint pains, and feel more tired and lethargic. The lack of movement has posed a greater risk on one’s physical and mental health, and overall well-being.

Add milk to your diet

According to registered nutritionist Jo Ann Verdadero-Salamat, milk plays an important part of our diet because it provides all the necessary daily nutrients we need. “We tend to think milk is just for kids, but even in adulthood, our bones still grow in density and this is why it is still necessary. It is important to choose milk high in calcium because it is the major nutrient that strengthens our bones.”

While calcium is present in other types of food, and also in supplements in the form of tablets, Jo Ann shared that drinking milk is the best option. While you can also consume calcium in the form of tablets, the way our body metabolizes them will not be as efficient as compared to food,” she says. 

“Anlene has always been known as the ideal milk drink for adults because of its high protein and highest calcium content among other powdered milk brands. It does not only support the bones, but also the muscles and joints. “All three parts of our anatomy affect each other. In order for these three parts to work efficiently together, we need the right nutrition which you can get in fortified milk like Anlene,” she adds.

Now in her 40s, she is still able to compete with younger athletes. “I started drinking Anlene from the very start of my athletic career. It has always been with me in training every day. Over the years, I have really gotten into the habit of drinking it and it has been a solid part of my routine because it helps with my flexibility,” she explained. “As I grow older and continue to compete, I find I need it even more now, and I’m so thankful I was introduced to it early on in my career as it has played such an important role in my journey.” she said.

Good health starts now

Our bones, joints, and muscles are some of the most important pillars that help us to live a happy and healthy life. It’s never too late to start taking care of it, especially in a time when our health needs to be top priority. All it takes is to move for around 15-20 minutes a day, eat the right food, and drink milk so we can all feel healthy, better, and stronger for the rest of the year.
