In a reflection of a consistent commitment to developing a healthy lifestyle, Flora recently joined hands with Punarjeewa Dr. Soma Edirisinghe Heart Walk 2015 as the national sponsor for the event.

The Punarjeewa Health Walk was held to generate a greater awareness of the importance of heart health and raise funds to support those who cannot self-fund heart surgeries. The event was successfully held on 17 October and a large crowd took part in the walk that was held from Nelum Pokuna Theatre to Galle Face.

Flora, recognised as a healthier spread for bread which is 10% * less fat than other fat spreads, combines the goodness of sunflower and canola oil, also rich in Omega 3 & 6, has always maintained a strong commitment towards empowering people to stay healthier.

In keeping with its mission of encouraging healthy eating, Flora actively participated in the Punarjeewa Health Walk by offering free BMI tests and Flora’s nutritionists were at hand to provide guidance on healthy living. Many participants were present at the Flora booth where they were able to obtain appropriate advice on developing a healthy lifestyle.

“Flora will continue to engage with consumers through activities that encourage and empower communities,” said Bianca de Silva, Brand Manager for Flora at Unilever Sri Lanka, “Such endeavours enable us to connect with our consumers one to one and also gives them the opportunity to gain a better understanding of following a healthy lifestyle.”
