JAL and TANITA introduce SKY Wellness Kitchen

From July, Japan Airlines and TANITA Corporation are collaborating to provide health support to passengers on JAL’s International long-haul flights.

The JAL “AIR series,” which has been in operation since 2011, will be revamped to offer a new menu Sky Wellness Kitchen supervised by TANITA CAFÉ.

Focusing on boosting immunity, TANITA CAFÉ will offer an original menu that incorporates the “chewing” element, which is one of the features of TANITA CAFÉ, and nutrients such as protein that boost immunity. In addition to activating the brain, chewing is expected to improve the immunes system, which protects the body from viruses and bacteria that invade from outside the body. JAL is planning to offer new menu items under the supervision of TANITA CAFÉ in the future.

The “Chewing” Healthy Salad Bowl menu contains proteins, vitamins, and dietary fibre that boosts immunity. The dessert is a smooth pudding that uses soy milk containing lactic acid bacteria with crushed texture of strawberry sauce and pistachio accents.

The in-flight meals are served with a leaflet that describes health knowledge. The leaflet includes a section focusing on immunity, as well as TANITA Gymnastics original stretches that can be easily done at home or at the destination.

In addition, from November, In-Flight Gymnastics, one of the in-flight video contents, will be renewed with a new video supervised by TANITA.
