Report Summary

The functional bone and joint health market has been characterized by a lack of vibrancy. A high consumer interest/consumption disconnect is reflective of industry players struggling to market niche ingredients outside of calcium and vitamin D, with consumers often looking to ordinary everyday products, believing that they do not require a fortified product to get their recommended daily intake.

Highlights

The status of bone and health conditions as being painful rather than life-threatening means that consumer fears do not match those of other conditions.

Brands must seek to convince consumers that they are not getting enough calcium in their normal diets and that consuming functional products will safeguard against problems in later life.

The category has expanded its presence beyond traditional “breakfast” products such as fortified milk, juice and yogurt into a broader range of products from snacks to confectionery, sauces, and even ready meals.

Brands have also become more adept at emphasizing the natural occurrence of bone- and joint-friendly ingredients in existing products.

In overcoming the interest/consumption gap that characterizes developing markets, the industry must seek to overcome issues such as lack of availability and affordability, and take into account regional dietary preferences. Moreover, clarity of communication is imperative, and the primary focus should be to educate the consumer.

Soda. And not just sugary soda, either—diet soda can make you gain weight as well. Recent studies have shown that dieters who drink diet soda actually gain weight—possibly because diet soda doesn’t help reduce an overall craving for sweets. Sweetened soda, of course, is just full of empty, do-nothing calories.
Energy drinks. Keep in mind that “energy” is often marketing-speak for “calories.” Unless you’re an elite athlete, you probably aren’t doing enough work to warrant replacing your electrolytes with an energy drink—so you’re just drinking extra calories and undoing all your good exercising work.
Fancy coffee beverages. Don’t be fooled because these drinks have “coffee” in the title—once you add cream, syrups and whipped cream, you’ve completely undone any of caffeine’s fat burning properties. Not convinced your frothy indulgence can ruin your diet? One Gotta-Have-It sized Caramel Latte from Cold Stone Creamery has 1,790 calories and 57 grams of fat. That’s the calorie equivalent of more than three Big Macs. Stick to plain ol’ coffee.
Fancy cocktails. A shot of liquor isn’t bad—in fact, it has fewer calories than a glass of wine or a cooler—but if you mix your hard alcohol with syrups, cream or other mixers, you’ve concocted a dessert, not a drink. A White Russian, for example—made with vodka, coffee liqueur and cream—can have up to 715 calories. That’s more than a KFC Double Down sandwich. And don’t think drinks made with fruit juice are healthier—a pina colada can have up to 600 calories. If you want to drink, stick to wine, light beer, or a shot of liquor with plain soda water.
Green tea. Hands down, this is one of the most powerful fat-burning “foods” you can find. This is because green tea contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which, when combined with the caffeine in a standard cup of tea, can have a positive effect on your weight-loss efforts. Studies have shown that people who consume green tea extract burn more fat—up to 17% more—than subjects that took a placebo. Green tea can help improve your body’s glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, which reduces fat storage. Drink 2-3 cups of green tea per day to get the best results.
Ice water. Drink eight glasses of ice water a day, and you could burn up to 70 calories—about the equivalent of a medium-sized apple. That’s because your body has to burn energy in order to warm the water up, which, in turn, burns calories.
Fancy cocktails. A shot of liquor isn’t bad—in fact, it has fewer calories than a glass of wine or a cooler—but if you mix your hard alcohol with syrups, cream or other mixers, you’ve concocted a dessert, not a drink. A White Russian, for example—made with vodka, coffee liqueur and cream—can have up to 715 calories. That’s more than a KFC Double Down sandwich.

Is beer really Ok to have on a diet? Simply put, in moderation and when you are able to fit it in your day-to-day calorie limit. If you enjoy drinking beer and, like most things in life, you do not overdo it, then the positive impacts it has on your attitude and life overall will be far greater than any little negative effects it could have in your diet.

You could look at alcohol as a double edged sword: As soon as it’s ingested the body sees it as if it’s a toxin and immediately works hard to get it out, hence eliminating more calories than consuming a non-alcoholic drink. However, don’t just go and down that 12 pack yet. Alcoholic beverages also stifle the oxidation of fat. So you might be losing a few more calories, yet you’re burning less fat.

Another thing to keep in mind is alcohol’s impact on testosterone. Studies show that just two – three beers per day was sufficient in reducing testosterone by a little portion – (roughly 6%).

But, at the same time it elevated levels of DHEA’s, which are considered to lessen the risk of coronary disease.

As far as caloric intake are involved, they range vastly in the type of beer you drink. Most often is the situation, the higher the alcohol content of beer, the higher the calories. Anyone can enjoy a bottle of New Belgium Trippel which contains an alcohol content of 7.8% and 215 calories or for the same affect you can have two bottles of Bud light with 4.2% alcohol and 110 calories for each bottle.

If consuming alcohol, especially when following a low calorie diet plan, drinking moderately is essential. Keep it to just a couple at any given time. And additionally if you’re able to stomach light beer then try it.

There is enough on the market so try these out and see which ones you like best.

A well known alternative for those on a diet is MGD 64. It has a mere sixty four calories per bottle, so consuming only 2 – 3 of such on any given day will add between 120 and 195 calories to your daily allowance. That’s a small sacrifice for having a few with the friends!

Check out these strategies to reduce calories for weight loss and avoid these frequent low calorie mistakes!

Aimed at providing real- time feedback on the Middle East’s best dining venues via first-hand user reviews, Yadig has identified the UAE as the regional leader in food and beverage choices for residents and tourists, with a whopping 2837 cafes, coffee shops, restaurants, night clubs, hotels and bars.

In analyzing the dining options in other Gulf states, Yadig found more than 600+ dining establishments in the rest of the GCC, with residents and tourists able to share their real-time perspective on these venues just by registering on yadig.com.

Yadig’s intelligence- gathering is part of the online review destination’s efforts to broaden dining and entertainment opportunities for both regional residents and visitors by enabling them to offer consumer reviews and share immediate insight on their experiences at specific venues.

Restaurants and night-spots are the venues creating the most buzz in Yadig’s initial phase, but the site’s founders expect that the community will broaden to encompass home services, leisure attractions, entertainment, retail destinations and sporting events.

‘In creating Yadig, we saw several opportunities to serve as a tool to people living in and visiting the Middle East. First, people want to be made aware of new venues and a key way to get a feel for the diversity of dining options in a specific city is to go online and see what others think about it. Whether you want to broaden your scope of popular local hangouts, share your thoughts on great and not-so-great dining experiences or simply voice your opinion on the latest night club, Yadig is a quick, fun and collaborative community in which to do so,’ said Saif Al Zarouni, founder of Yadig.

Al Zarouni, an online enthusiast with roots in both the UAE and US who founded Yadig along with the site’s chief technology officer, Johnny Huntington, sees Yadig as an innovative hybrid of a number of Internet-based concepts which ultimately empower consumers.

‘The expression ‘Ya dig?’ is all about someone understanding your viewpoint, and we’ve seen from the popularity of travel websites which rely on user reviews that people increasingly want a degree of transparency and candor about the most happening night spots, the best places to be seen and good dining experiences, before they part with their money.

The Middle East is populated by a very plugged-in community of all nationalities who love to socialize with their friends and family and share the latest scoop on both new and well-loved destinations, which is why we believe Yadig will become a thriving community and must-have resource.’ he added.

Ease of use is a major draw to Yadig, which enables users to sign up and begin sounding off immediately about their favorite as well as less-loved dining spots across the region. With just 150 characters with which to review a venue, feedback from users is punchy and to-the-point. To foster communication on Yadig, each user’s family and friends can be notified by Facebook when a new review is posted.

To reward members of Yadig for sharing their experiences, the site has a martial arts-inspired ranking of ‘belts’, with new users starting out as white belts and progressing through the color spectrum to achieve the coveted black belt status through a specific level of engagement with the Yadig community.

Yadig founder Saif, who himself has not yet earned a black belt for his reviews, adds: ‘The whole point behind Yadig is learning from other people’s experiences while sharing your own. The more people engage regularly with Yadig, the better it becomes as a community resource.’

Collaborating more closely with the businesses named (and sometimes shamed) on Yadig is next step for the online review community, as dining establishments can use the site to reach out to their customers via an immediate and transparent conduit. Also up next for Yadig are a series of mobile applications that can be downloaded onto smart phones including Blackberry’s, iPhones and android enabled devices, making the site even easier to use by individuals on the go.

1, the market Milk Drinks Variety can be separated into milk and milk Beverages Two categories. Milk beverages labeled “drink”, “drink” “milk beverage” and other words, the list of ingredients in addition to the general also contain milk with water, Sweeteners So, its protein content is generally about 1%; and milk products are the real “milk”, which includes pasteurized milk, sterilized milk, yoghurt and so on, the ingredients such as milk, but not containing water (reconstituted milk excluded), its protein content is generally more than 2.3%. The two are different types of beverages, nutrition disparities, should not be confused, consumers should pay attention to the time of purchase difference between the two.

2, in bovine dairy products, yoghurt is made from fermented milk products, not only has the nutritional value of milk and yoghurt containing lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms will be inhibited in the corruption of human intestinal bacteria, and promote nutrient digestion and absorption, is a nutrition ages Food ; Pasteurized milk is the milk after pasteurization (60 -82 ) that is made from pasteurized liquid product, only to kill vegetative microorganisms, sufficient to maintain nutrition and fresh milk, yoghurt, but with the same Shelf life is short, and requires low temperature storage (2 -6 ), there Plastic bags , Glass bottles, fresh housing such as packaging; sterilized milk is milk by ultra high temperature sterilization, which can completely destroy the growth of bacteria, and are commercially sterile, long-term preservation at room temperature, there Tetra Brick, Tetra pillow and other packaging. Has been dispute over the level of various dairy products endless, I would think that its advantages and disadvantages of various dairy products, the nutrition, the main human milk to provide high quality protein and calcium, while the results of this comparison show that the same dairy cattle under three kinds of difference between the trace of protein and calcium, consumers need to choose according to their different dairy products.

3, many consumers are concerned about the “reconstituted milk” (also known as “breast reduction”) problem. “Reconstituted milk” refers to the condensed milk, dry as condensed milk (condensed milk) or milk, then add the appropriate amount of water, made with raw milk in the water, a considerable proportion of the emulsion solids. National standards to allow yoghurt and milk sterilization for dairy recovery Raw material And pasteurized milk can not be reconstituted milk, but also provisions to reconstituted milk-based products should be labeled as “reconstituted milk.” However, some manufacturers are hiding the truth, apparently using the reconstituted milk as raw material, but not explicit, there is no indication in the list of ingredients in “water, milk powder,” the relevant departments must strengthen supervision. Although the reconstituted milk nutrition to many controversies, but in fact the national standard for the raw milk with the recovery and the use of raw and fresh milk production of dairy products as raw materials are the same nutritional requirements, but must be clearly marked on the label, respect for the consumer right to know. Consumers may recover from the label to identify the milk.

4, in accordance with the different fat, full cream milk products, partly skimmed, skimmed the points. National standard, pasteurized milk, sterilized pure milk and pure fat content of whole milk yoghurt was 3.1%, part of the fat was 1.0-2.0%, skim to 0.5%, flavored milk and flavored yoghurt sterilization, fruit yoghurt fat content of whole material was 2.5%, some fat to 0.8-1.6%, fat is 0.4%. Fat milk products, high quality, easily digested and absorbed, the supply of human energy, which, partly skimmed and skimmed milk for healthy persons, in particular need to limit and reduce saturated fat intake of adults drink.

5, in recent years, the concept of dairy products market, filed one after another, the “espresso milk”, “high calcium milk”, as well as adding iron, zinc and other trace elements in milk, consumers quite confused, not knowing how to choice. Experts pointed out that the added fat in milk, calcium is not inevitable, but national standards should be added, and should be expressed, so that consumers understand the consumer; In addition, the milk itself is the ideal natural food products, human milk, add the ability to upgrade nutritional value and role of the human body in the end how much is still no conclusion.

6, consumers buy milk products, the best choice for brand recognition and identification instructions complete, detailed product, be careful not to be confused with other beverages, with particular attention to whether the production date and shelf life, pay attention to different kinds of products packaging and preservation methods of its shelf-life are not the same, if the preservation methods are inappropriate or damaged when the package is best not to buy.
