NIDO® 3+ launches Todo Expert Tips to guide moms on how to TODO protect 3+ toddlers
RAISING a child is never easy and NIDO® 3+ is one with parents in prioritizing the health and well-being of their kids especially in this new reality where immunity is a prime concern.
To aid and support parents in making the most of the toddler years, NIDO® 3+ hosted the Todo Expert Toddler Indoor Picnic Session (T.I.P.S.) event — a multi-platform virtual event featuring an interactive AR (augmented reality) activity to create a one-of-a-kind engagement while maximizing learning and enjoyment among the guests. During the event, nutrition experts shared advise on how to provide the right nutrition and health protection to help 3+ toddlers become a #TodoExplorer.
Here are the some Todo Expert Tips from the event, to guide parents who seek to give the best support for their 3+ toddlers: Get to know the ins and outs of 3+ toddlerhood years 3+ toddlerhood is when kids begin to explore, start self-discovery, and a very critical period in their growth and development. During the Todo Expert T.I.P.S event, parents learn from the invited experts what key developments a 3+ toddler goes through during this stage. From physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development, it is during this time that the toddlers start walking and running, interacting with family and kids, exploring the environment, and learning during active play. To ensure healthy growth and development, parents must support their +3 toddlers’ brain, body, and behavior development by providing them with proper nutrition.
Mind the nutritional gaps
Based on a global project collaboration between Nestle Research Center and the Philippines’ Food and Nutrition Research Institute, there is an inadequate intake of important vitamins and minerals in all age groups of Filipino children. These nutrients are important to support physical and cognitive growth and development as well as normal immune function during toddlerhood.
As evidenced in scientific studies and dietary surveys, this inadequacy is likely a result from the typical Filipino diet which is heavy on carbohydrates and refined sugars, and not enough of vegetables, fruits, and age-appropriate milks.
Experts constantly remind parents that they play a key role in shaping their +3 toddlers’ diet, and how growing up milk plays a valuable role in meeting the nutritional needs.
As the true expert in 3+ toddlerhood, NIDO® 3+, the #1 Growing Up Milk, developed the NUTRITODS™ program which is a scientific program specially designed by experts to address the growing up needs of Filipino toddlers through the nutrient it contains. Through the program, the new NIDO® 3+ is developed to be rich in age-appropriate nutrients, such as LACTOBACILLUS PROTECTUS®, 50% More protection nutrients like Vitamins A, C, E, DHA, PREBIO3®, Iron, Zinc and other essential vitamins & minerals, and has no table sugar added. This is to ensure that our 3+ toddlers are TODO protected and can be #TodoExplorers as they continue to grow and develop.
Be mindful of your toddler’s daily sugar intake
Choosing the right growing up milk is not just about the nutrients, as parents also have to check the label for its sugar content. The typical filipino diet, which includes many milk products and sweetened beverages, are filled with refined sugars that can lead to problems such as dental issues as well as increased risk of obesity and diabetes.
In fact, the World Health Organization recommends that daily sugar intake should not be more than 7 teaspoons a day. Ensuring that every 3+ toddler gets enough healthy energy to be a #TodoExplorer, NIDO® 3+ uses lactose, a naturally occurring type of sugar, and has no hidden sucrose and may help in the digestion of calcium needed for bone development.
Parents always want the best for their kids, thankfully NIDO® 3+ finds ways to help parents in providing the best nutrition and support for their kids especially during this uncertain time.
