Filipinos are definitely getting more aware and conscious of their physical fitness and well-being nowadays. It may be not seem like that fast, but "slowly but surely" is good enough for all of us. 

Part of being physically fit and healthy is participating in various physical activities like what Alaska launched just recently at the Satin Room of Seda Hotel in BGC. It was "The Power of Tri," wherein kids and adults as well as the whole family can get to participate, be inspired, be fit, have fun and enjoy various activities like

The 7th National Nutrition Survey, done by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute and the Department of Health, showed that obesity is increasing with nearly two out 10 children considered as overweight. Under-nutrition is also a public health concern affecting nearly three out 10 children. Alaska promotes nutrition through its leading brands, Alaska Powdered Milk Drink and Alaska Chocolate Powdered Milk Drink and through educating the public about the importance of drinking milk and keeping an active and healthy lifestyle. 

Alaska promotes a holistic sports development program for the whole family and encourages a healthy and active lifestyle through biking, swimming and running.
