Balance is the Key to Everything

Balance is one of the fundamental laws of the universe. It applies to everything and everyone of all ages, including you and your children.

Balance is the foundation of a child's motor skills as well as many other important abilities. It is important in your child's early years to perform a host of tasks and daily activities including sitting, walking, cycling and swimming.

In addition to balance being important in your child's daily activities, it is crucial for your child to consume balanced and nutrient-dense foods, from all 5 food groups—fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy, during their growing years to support optimum growth and development. Parents are responsible to support this by ensuring that their child’s nutritional intake is balanced and adequate.

Morinaga Chil-kid is a Japanese formulation and is fortified with well-balanced essential nutrients such as AA and DHA, GOS, 5 Nucleotides, Omega 3&6 LCPs and 27 key nutrients, providing complete and balanced nutrition[1] for Asian children as they are growing up.

According to an article by Koletzko et. al (2020), the recommendation of the Codex Alimentarius is that AA contents in a milk formula should be at least equal to the contents of the DHA,[2] and Morinaga Chil-kid complies to this ratio, hence is more suitable for Asian children.

Besides, both AA and DHA are equally vital for toddlers in their growing stage. From a news release by the University of Granada, studies have shown that DHA omega-3 is important for infant brain, eye and nervous system development and has been shown to support long-term heart health.[3] Kuratko et. al (2013) stated in a journal that the long chain omega-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is a major lipid in the brain recognized as essential for normal brain function. [4]

Parents can rest assured that their little ones are getting sufficient amounts of nutrition by consuming Morinaga Chil-kid milk formula on a daily basis. You can now get the Morinaga Chil-kid’s 600g Trial Pack at RM20 (normal price RM56). Apply now at https://trial-pack.morinagamilk.com.my/ .
