Singapore, 19 September 2023 – F&N NutriSoy, Singapore’s No. 1 Fresh Soya Milk, rallies towards the universal call for better heart health in conjunction with the upcoming World Heart Day. The day is specially celebrated on 29 September every year and is dedicated by the World Heart Federation (WHF) to raise global awareness about the important actions everyone can take to prevent and control cardiovascular diseases.
According to local statistics, 23 people die from cardiovascular disease (heart diseases and stroke) daily. Cardiovascular disease accounted for 31.4% of all deaths in 2022. This means that almost 1 out of 3 deaths in Singapore is due to heart diseases or stroke.
To drive home the message of heart health, F&N NutriSoy is proud to partner with the Singapore Heart Foundation (SHF), a member of WHF, in a concerted effort to raise awareness on the importance of good heart health among Singaporeans. As a social service agency, SHF is at the forefront of promoting heart health as it plays a crucial role against heart diseases and saving lives. F&N NutriSoy is also supported by SHF as a heart-friendly drink.
F&N NutriSoy is continuously inspired to innovate and offer the nutritional goodness of its products to consumers including vegetarians and vegans. The F&N NutriSoy product range is vegan-friendly and is made from natural and non-genetically modified soya beans with no added preservatives.
Within the range of products F&N NutriSoy offers, the F&N NutriSoy Fresh Soya Milk High Calcium Omega contains Omega 3 fatty acids and is available in No Sugar Added variety. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce blood clotting in the arteries, protect arteries from hardening, and reduce the level of triglycerides in the blood. Omega 3 fatty acids help to reduce LDL cholesterol (the ‘bad’ cholesterol) concentrations in the blood. This in turn lowers the risk of heart disease1.
As advocated by SHF, protein is essential for the growth and repair of our body, and is required for many bodily functions including muscle maintenance, cell renewal, wound healing and immunity. To ensure adequate protein intake, one should consume various plant proteins such as soya beans, especially for people who adopt a plant-based diet.
Low in Glycaemic Index (GI) and Halal-certified, the F&N NutriSoy range of products contains a high protein, calcium, and vitamin D3 content compared to other soya bean drinks. Soya beans are the only vegetable source that contains all 9 essential building blocks of protein known as amino acids, found only in foods. They are rich in iron, phosphorus, magnesium, B vitamins, and zinc; and are made from superior-grade soya beans without artificial flavourings and preservatives, and are suitable for those who are lactose intolerant. Soy protein and isoflavones found in soy milk can lower LDL cholesterol, leading to better heart health.
