Here's How to Read Nutritional Information on Packaged Drinks to Ensure Their Nutrients Meet Your Needs

"Dream - Now more and more people are paying attention to the nutritional value of packaged drinks. This is because, from the information on the content and nutritional value, Dream Friends can control what they consume every day. Without reading the nutritional information and content of packaged products, you might end up consuming too much sugar, sodium, or calories in a day. In fact, reading the nutritional value and content of the products is not complicated. Nevertheless, Dream Friends must read it carefully. Especially since the font size is very small."

"Check out how to read nutritional information on packaged beverages as presented by Certified Nutrition & Health Coach, Dion Haryadi below."

The translation of "Perhatikan Takaran Saji" to English is "Pay Attention to Serving Size".

"First of all, pay attention to the serving size. Usually, you will find the serving information within one package. “So the producer suggests how much the serving size is for one drink,” he said."

For example, Dream Friends buy 1-liter packaged milk. Then, the serving size is 4 servings with a size of 250 ml. That means the producer recommends the milk to be consumed in 4 servings of 250 ml each time.

"Pay attention to Energy, Macronutrients, and Micronutrients"

"Additionally, you can see the amount of energy, macros, and micronutrients contained in the product. The amount of energy and nutrients obtained is calculated per serving, not per package. For example, if the amount of energy listed is 80kkal/kcal, it means that Dream friends consume 80 kcal per 250 ml or one serving. The same applies to the micronutrients and macronutrients that will be obtained."

The translation of "Jenis Gula yang Seharusnya Dihindari" to English is "Types of Sugar to Avoid".

"Each packaged drink typically contains various types of sugars such as sucrose, glucose, lactose, and maltose. However, Dion advises avoiding the sucrose content in packaged drinks."

“Sugar is a combination of fructose and glucose. Lactose is a natural sugar in cow's milk, so it is actually safe and does not count as added sugar,”

The translation of "jelas Dion." to English is "clear Dion."

The translation of "Perhatikan Komposisi" to English is "Pay Attention to the Composition".

"Don't forget to pay attention to the composition as well. Usually, the ingredients or composition that are most abundant in the product are listed first or at the top left. Reading the product composition allows you to ensure whether the product is truly made from cow's milk or not. The same goes for its mixtures."
