Kumaran Nowuram, the Business Executive Manager of the Dairy Category in NESTLÉ Middle East stated:
"Nestlé NESVITA Pro-Bones is proud to support the Pan Arab Osteoporosis Conference and the 1st Emirates Osteoporosis Conference in its efforts to promote further awareness of osteoporosis amongst both the general public and the health professionals. Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease in which bones become fragile and porous leading to an increase risk of bone fractures and breakage. It has become particularly prevalent in the GCC, affecting 16% of young women. Osteoporosis is a growing worldwide health problem, where one out of three women and one out of five men are affected".
"On a positive note, Osteoporosis can be prevented by adopting healthy dietary and lifestyle habits, by being physically active and following a balanced diet rich in Calcium and other important nutrients for strong, healthy bones," states Karine Antoniades Turk, the Market Nutritionist for Nestlé Middle East.
"Nestlé NESVITA Pro-Bones is a Low Fat Milk that is not only enriched with Calcium to provide women between the ages of 19 to 50 with their Daily Calcium Requirement with just two glasses every day, but it also includes CalciLock, a unique combination of nutrients that helps absorb and lock Calcium into the bones.
"By extending our support to this conference, we at NESTLÉ aim to highlight the various causes of Osteoporosis, the risk factors involved, and above all the importance of healthy dietary and lifestyle habits to prevent Osteoporosis. This initiative is a part of NESTLÉ NESVITA year long awareness drive that was launched to mark the Global 'World Osteoporosis Day' Campaign on the 20th of October 2007."
