share

A tasty, milky beverage is a great way to start your day, beat post-workout fatigue, or add a dash of flavour to your tea or coffee. But did you know that the best milk for your lifestyle might come from a plant? Plant-based drinks like oat milk or almond milk don’t just offer a creamy flavour, they also have plenty of health benefits for those looking to be more conscious and deliberate about their diet.

Stronger bones to keep you active for longer

NutriWell Oat M!lk and NutriWell Almond M!lk are fortified with calcium and vitamin D3, to help you keep your bones strong.

Calcium is essential to keeping your bone density up. This helps you avoid osteoporosis and bone brittleness, making it easier for you to keep an active and mobile lifestyle1. Think of it as an investment in your body, especially later in life when bones naturally weaken2.

But calcium isn’t enough. Your body needs vitamin D3 to absorb and best utilise calcium2. Getting some sunlight is a great way to get the body to produce Vitamin D. But if you find yourself spending more time indoors, out of the sun, a little boost from fortified plant-based milk may help.

Show your heart some love with oat milk and almond milk

Keeping your heart healthy is essential, but it isn’t easy! Especially not with the amount of cholesterol in many of the foods that are regularly available for us.

In the long run, too much cholesterol can lead to severe problems, including heart attacks, chest pain, and stroke3.

Fortunately, oat milk and almond milk are naturally cholesterol-free.

Instead, they are rich in heart-healthy unsaturated fat. Unsaturated fat is beneficial for maintaining a healthy blood cholesterol level4, 5, 6. It also plays a role in keeping your heart and blood vessels healthier7.

Keep up with your fitness goals with plant-based milk

Keeping up your daily protein intake is essential to remaining fit and active. This macronutrient is found in just about all parts of your body—from muscles and bones to skin, hair, and tissues.

However, we traditionally get the majority of our protein from red meat. Consuming red meat excessively carries significant risks of diabetes and heart problems. Processed meat, in particular, contains high levels of salt and saturated fats8.

This is why people pursuing a healthier lifestyle are likely to lessen the amount of red meat in their diet, in favour of plant-based foods like legumes, oats, nuts, and seeds. Following this, you can count oat milk and almond milk among your daily sources of protein7,9.

Add plant-based milk to your diet

Whether you’re looking for a breakfast beverage or a quick tummy filler before lunch, NutriWell Oat M!lk and NutriWell Almond M!lk give you a quick boost with natural goodness.
