Care for Your Heart with NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS’s Walk A Million Miles


Care for Your Heart with NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS’s Walk A Million Miles | My friends know that I love dancing and I love dancing-based exercises. But when the Covid-19 pandemic happened and all gyms were closed, I opted to change my exercising routine, I walked hence the #RawlinsLenggangKangkung in my IG. 

I actually tried skipping rope but my knees were not in agreement with my wants so I walked and I actually loved it. I put on my Running Playlist on Spotify and usually, I will walk for 3 - 6 km at one time.

So, when I hear that NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS’s month-long Walk A Million Miles event returns this September, for the third year running - I know that I should join the event.

“According to the Ministry of Health Malaysia high cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, the main killer disease which affects more than 8 million adults in Malaysia.

Based on statistics in Malaysia, heart diseases increase with age especially for those who are above 40 years of age. Fast-paced lives, sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy diets are among the factors that lead to high cholesterol levels. Fortunately, risk factors such as high cholesterol can be minimized with a healthy, balanced diet and active lifestyle. Walking an average of 30 minutes or more a day combined with a balanced diet can lower cholesterol.

Lam Pui Yuee, Business Executive Officer, Milks Business Unit, Nestlé (Malaysia) said, “To support Malaysians in their journey to better heart health, NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS range of products have been developed with the Malaysian consumers in mind. 1.2g of ACTICOL plant sterols in two glasses of NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS a day is proven to effectively lower cholesterol levels.”

“To encourage more Malaysians to get on this journey, we also just launched the NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS Dark Choc in powder format, made with the goodness of milk and delicious cocoa. We want to entice Malaysians with variety and great taste, so they feel good and enjoy themselves while managing their cholesterol levels. So, this September, make sure you sign up for Walk A Million Miles, because walking with NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS Dark Choc, trust me, heart health has never tasted better,” she adds.
