THE key to good health and well-being is simple: Eat five servings of fruits and/or vegetables a day. Different kinds of fruits and vegetables can be combined to comply with the 5-a-Day Rule recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), a serving of which is a fist-sized portion of a certain fruit or vegetable. WHO strongly recommends that every Filipino consume a minimum of 400 grams of fruits and vegetables a day to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, obesity and other serious health problems.
And to remind shoppers and customers to adhere to the 5-a-Day Rule, Rustan’s Supermarket introduces its Goodness Gang, which is a set of cute, colorful and lovable stuffed toys that take on the shape of common fruits and vegetables. Taking off from its very successful Big Headz promo, the supermarket chain now puts the spotlight on the Goodness Gang.
The Goodness Gang, which reminds everyone just how important it is to eat right and exactly what certain types of fruits and vegetables can do for the body, is composed of Aubergine (reduces the risks of cancer, cardiovascular and eye diseases), Bananas (prevent muscle cramps and reduce blood pressure and heart attacks), Broccoli (prevents cancer and regulates blood pressure), Carrots (help prevent cancer and heart disease), Cherries (aid in the reduction of cancer and heart disease), Garlic (promotes the well-being of the heart and immune system), Pears (play a part in cancer prevention), and Strawberries (fight cancer and bad cholesterol).
How do you get hold of these fun and lovable health companions?
One way is through collecting stickers by shopping at Rustan’s Supermarket. Every Php300 single receipt purchase entitles a shopper to one (1) sticker. You get one Goodness Gang plush toy of your choice for free with 50 stickers. Another way to avail of a plush toy is by combining 25 stickers and Php299. A third way to get a Goodness Gang stuffed toy is to downright purchase one for Php999 without stickers. Stamps will be issued until November 30, 2013, while redemption of Goodness Gang stuffed toys may be done until January 30, 2014.
