3-A-Day
Dale Farm’s 3-A-Day campaign aims to encourage children and young people to build up their calcium intake from an early age to help build strong bones and healthy teeth and develop good eating habits that will stay with them for life.
Dale Farm offers a range of healthy, nutritional and tasty products to make sure everyone meets the 3-A-Day recommendation and it can be as simple as taking:
- 200ml glass of Dale Farm milk
- 150g pot of Spelga yogurt
- 30g piece of Dromona cheese
The key objective is to promote the daily consumption of milk, cheese and yogurt – in specified amounts – as part of a balanced diet. By offering essential nutrients and proven health benefits, 3-A-Day operates as a nutritional touch-stone for the dairy industry.
As well as building strong bones and healthy teeth there are many other health benefits of taking the right amount of calcium every day, for both children and adults:
- Helps control blood pressure and cholesterol levels
- Helps weight control
- Offers protection against colon and breast cancer
- Plenty of essential nutrients
3-A-DAY offers the above health benefits as part of a balanced diet and should be incorporated along with regular bone strengthening exercises such as walking, running, cycling, swimming etc.
