Wellness and Nutrition
At Kellogg Company, we promote eating well and healthy living. Our legacy is based on the philosophy that people can improve their health by eating a balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activity. Living a healthy lifestyle begins with a good understanding of nutrition. We believe in providing high-quality, nutritious food and helping educate consumers about the benefits of a healthy diet.
Our Healthy BeginningsTM lineup features many cereals that address specific health needs. These products include those that may help promote heart health, shape management goals, digestive health maintenance or simply promote the 2005 Dietary Guidelines which recommend that we eat half our grains as whole grains.
Many of Kellogg Company’s cereal products also contain whole grain and fiber. A high-fiber diet may help reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers, and has been shown to help manage blood glucose levels. A fiber-rich diet may also help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.
Snacking has become an important eating occasion in our world. Kellogg’s strives to offer a variety of snack products to help meet a variety of needs – even when you are on the go!
Snacks and Weight Management
Today we live in a super-sized world when it comes to food. That’s why pre-portioned single-serve snacks are ideal when watching your calories. One of the best ways to control hunger is to eat smaller amounts, more frequently. This helps to avoid feelings of extreme hunger, which can result in overeating. Kellogg’s® Special K Bars® (with 90 calories) and Rite Bites® (pre-portioned snacks with 100 calories or less) are good examples of how Kellogg helps you control your calories.
Snacks and Diabetes
“Small and often” is the recommended meal pattern for people with diabetes. Many nutritionists recommend that food intake should be divided throughout the day to help keep blood glucose stable – and healthy snacks are an important part of that. Kellogg clearly labels all products with grams of carbohydrate and diabetic exchange servings to help people with diabetes manage their carbohydrate intake.
Snacks and Mental Performance
In addition to eating a good breakfast, a mid-morning snack is one of the best ways to improve brain power. Carbohydrates from foods are broken down in the body to glucose, which provides important fuel for the brain. Research has shown that a between-meal snack may help sustain concentration. Kellogg products like Krave Bars® help provide you with the taste you want and nutrients you need.
Snacks and Kids
It’s a challenge to get your kids to eat right. Kellogg’s snacks are fortified with nutrients to help you eat a healthful diet, even when you and your family are on the go. Nutri-Grain Cereal Bars® can easily be added to lunch boxes for all ages and make great after-school snacks, too.
