Pak Cik Kiah is an active person. Thrice weekly, he will be out running in his neighbourhood (pre-MCO, of course) for about an hour each time. However, due to the sudden partial lockdown announcement by Malaysia’s government, it took a blow to all outdoor exercise enthusiasts, with Pak Cik Kiah included.
He was already conscious about his food intake (unlike most of us during MCO), and is fully aware about the existence of superfoods. But practically, he does face some problems: expensive, difficult to find in local supermarkets, and is hard to prepare for consumption.
In a recent survey by ToughASIA in collaboration with JoyMix Enterprise to understand local runners’ food and nutrition consumption, a staggering 46% respondents relied on carbohydrate foods like rice and bread as their general nutritional supplement. This is followed by Vitamin C supplements (38.1%), electrolytes drink (36.7%), chia seeds (36.1%) and protein shake (35.4%) as their general supplement.
What was more shocking was that 21.8% of the respondents do not consume any specific nutrition. As a runner, this is a huge mistake because post-recovery is very important to improve performance in the long run.
Moreover, while superfoods are good, they work best when consumed for their intended purposes. Therefore, JoyMix Enterprise, a company that distributes health superfood targeted for athletes, has the perfect solution by making them affordable, highly accessible and easy to prepare just for you. Needless to say, they are also ISO 22000 compliant, HACCP and HALAL certified.
