Be a buddy to mother nature with Nestle´ Chuckie’s paper straws

Image
December 2020 - PHILIPPINES - Did you know that the Philippines is the top 3 contributor to ocean pollution among all the countries?* Waste in landfills and oceans are piling up due to the surge of waste that increased especially during the pandemic. It is an important time to accelerate our reduction of plastic waste, and to search for recyclable materials.

After all, despite the pandemic, this season of merriment means eating and drinking more than the usual at all the parties and gatherings you will throw or attend—may it be virtual or physical—with your friends and loved ones at home. While some people struggle with their weight during the holidays, did you know that a recent study revealed a potential solution that does not involve depriving yourself of Christmas treats?  In 2019, scientists at the University of Illinois released a study that suggests that consuming caffeine can limit weight gain and cholesterol production, even while eating a diet that is high in fat and sugar. Based on the study, caffeine, which is a crystalline compound found mostly in tea and coffee plants, can reduce the storage of lipids in fat cells, as well as limit weight gain and the production of triglycerides.
