Balanced Nutrition in Children<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's Friend Balanced nutrition for early childhood is very necessary. Therefore, parents must fulfill a balanced nutritional intake. Balanced nutrition is a daily diet that contains nutrients in types and quantities that suit the body's needs, taking into account the principles of food diversity or variety, physical activity, cleanliness and ideal body weight. So, to provide balanced nutritional intake for children, an active role is needed for parents, especially mothers, to pay attention to children's nutritional intake. As is the case with giving children a variety of foods, which are high in protein and vegetables. \n\n \n\n Fulfilling balanced nutrition means consuming food that contains nutrients in types and quantities that suit the body's needs. It is also necessary to pay attention to the quantity and quality of the food consumed, because it can affect the level of individual health, especially in children. Optimal nutrition is very important for normal growth as well as physical and intelligent development in children. Because, if a child experiences malnutrition, it can result in delayed growth in the child so that he or she becomes easily infected, and ultimately can hinder the child's development. \n\n \n\n The principles of balanced nutrition for early childhood include : \n- Eat healthy food, at every meal on your little one's plate it is recommended to provide staple foods as a source of carbohydrates (rice or potatoes), side dishes as a source of protein (fish, chicken, tofu, tempeh, nuts), vegetables as a source of minerals. and fiber (spinach, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, etc.), and fruit as a source of vitamins (oranges, apples, bananas, etc.). \n- Consume enough oil and salt, and pay attention to children's daily sugar consumption. \n- Implement clean and healthy living habits (PHBS), for example when sneezing and coughing, covering your mouth and nose, washing your hands with soap and clean water, cleaning your living area, keeping your environment clean, and not eating food that has been dropped, and so on. \n- Doing physical activities, such as light exercise, playing, and learning to do housework, such as sweeping, watering plants, and so on. \n- Regularly weigh the child's weight. \n\n \n\n As a parent, you need to know that the nutrition needed by young children is not the same as that of adults, children need nutrition in quantity and quality that is appropriate to their age and stage of growth and development. This is because preschool children are still in the growth and development phase. If Friends of Hermina want a consultation regarding balanced nutrition for children, immediately consult a Nutrition Specialist at RSU Hermina Solo. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to balanced nutrition in teenagers, namely being able to consume a variety of foods, getting used to clean living habits, monitoring body weight, and doing physical activity. \n\n \n\n There are still many teenagers who experience anemia, and this can affect their growth and development. Regarding anemia, of course Friends of Hermina already know that anemia is a condition when the body experiences a decrease or the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin is below the normal range. \n\n \n\n The following are hemoglobin levels (gr/dL) as an indicator of anemia, in age groups, namely: \n- Children aged 6 months - 5 years = <11 \n- Children aged 6 years – 11 years = <11.5 \n- Children aged 12 - 14 years = <12 \n- Adult male = <13 \n- Non-pregnant adult women = <12 \n- Pregnant adult women = <11 \n\n \n\n So for Friends of Hermina, we can prevent anemia by consuming Fe sources, and taking Fe tablets specifically for teenage girls so that teenagers' growth and development can be maximized.
