Nestlé Fitness to host free breakfasts

Nestlé Fitness is bringing back the tradition of healthy, nutritious breakfasts by hosting a series of complimentary breakfast events in Valletta, Paola and Cospicua.

These events are intended to highlight the importance of the presence of wholegrain in a balanced daily diet as well as the importance of starting your day with a healthy breakfast.

A number of popular TV personalities will participate in the events to have their daily routines scrutinised and assessed by professional nutritionists who will also provide free advice to all those who attend.

The healthy breakfast events kick off on Friday in Valletta (opposite the law courts) from 8 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. with Nirvana Azzopardi; on Saturday and Sunday, from 8 to 11.30 a.m. with Ray Calleja and Peppi Azzopardi respectively; on October 17 and 20, from 9 to 11.30 a.m. at Antoine de Paule Square, Paola, and near the Vittoriosa market, Cospicua, with Alfred Zammit and Claudette Pace respectively.

Nestlé Fitness is available in eight flavours - original, chocolate, fruits, yoghurt, honey and almonds, muesli nuts, muesli chocolate and muesli fruits. Dietary fibre from whole grains helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Experts recommend eating at least three servings of wholegrain a day.

The healthy events will also focus on the importance of portion control as part of a healthy lifestyle. The daily recommended serving of cereal for breakfast is 30g, to be accompanied by 125ml of milk.

These serving guidelines will be adhered to during the breakfast events and fresh local milk will also be served to the public for free.
