For a healthy diet, the World health organization recommends substituting foods that are high in saturated animal fats with vegetable oils and soft margarine that are rich in healthy unsaturated oil.

These oils are excellent natural sources of essential polyunsaturated Omega 3 and Omega 6.Flora Margarine Spread is virtually trans fat free and is also fortified with vitamins A, D, E, B6, B12 and folic acid.
What are Omega 3 & Omega 6?
Omega 3 and Omega 6 are polyunsaturated fats, commonly known as good fats which are particularly good for heart health. These essential fats cannot be produced in the body so we must get them from the food we eat. They are necessary for normal growth and development and for general health and well being.

Blue Band
Healthy growth & development:
Blue Band is made from high quality vegetable oils, so it is an important source of essential fats and vitamins A, D and E for which there are not many other dietary sources. A thin layer of spread on bread every day makes a big contribution to the healthy growth and development of the whole family.
Growing children need to spread margarine:
Recent international nutrition guidelines from WHO recognize the fact that people should minimize bad fats and consume sufficient good fats to stay fit and healthy. Experts also agree that for growing children, spreading soft margarine on bread is much better than spreading butter – which is full of saturated fat – and better than not spreading anything at all.
The right breakfast:
Eating a nutritious breakfast in the morning with the right amount and the right kind of nutrients has been proven to enhance children’s ability to concentrate at school. A breakfast consisting of a slice of bread, spread with low-fat margarine plus a glass of low-fat milk is more balanced – and healthier – than bread with butter or sweetened cereals with milk or breakfast snacks.
Improving children's nutrition around the world:
Blue Band established a partnership with Un WFP and pledge to contribute to the effort to feed hungry through Blue Band’s Ramadan sales. Unilever believes that every child deserves the nutrition and hygiene he or she needs to develop to their full physical and mental potential.
