Pia’s chika on milk


Pia Guanio’s daily schedule may be quite challenging and stressful for most people, but she has proven that she can accomplish all these jobs with equal passion and grace – big thanks to the healthy diet and lifestyle that she has fashioned for herself.

"I make sure that the food I eat don’t contain too much sugar or salt. I also stay away from junk food. And when I choose my food products, I make sure that they contain the nutrients that are good for me. That’s why I always take time to check their labels," Pia reveals.

And by checking the label of your milk products, you would find that Nesvita Pro-Bone Protection contains the optimum amounts of nutrients that best address women’s health and nutritional needs.

Nesvita Pro-Bone Protection, for one, contains the highest level of Calcium per 100 grams. Calcium is essential in making our teeth and bones healthy, and for women like Pia, adequate calcium intake is very important because it helps prevent the development of the dreaded osteoporosis disease later in life.

"That’s one of the health concerns that women like me have. We don’t want to end up with a bad posture in our old age," she says.

Pia’s observation is quite accurate. The 2003 National Nutrition Survey shows that on a per capita intake, only 60% of our calcium requirement is met everyday.

Nesvita Pro-Bone Protection also has the most amount of iron per 100 grams. Iron is important for women especially in their child-bearing age as they are prone to iron-deficiency anemia due to their menstrual cycle. Symptoms of anemia include headaches and fatigue.

Iron is also important in strengthening one’s immune system–a fact that people like Pia need as they tackle on the heavy demands of their jobs.

It has an optimum amount of protein, too. Protein helps the body build and repair damaged tissues.

Pia says that at whatever age, one should be concerned with "whatever it is you’re eating or doing, not only in terms of how it affects your weight, but your overall health as well.

"And we could all start developing healthier food choices by checking the label of the products we buy," she concludes.
