Are you one of those people who still apply the perfect 4 healthy 5? If so, you should immediately change. Therefore, the fulfillment of nutrition with the model was deemed no longer relevant by nutrition experts. You are advised to switch to 5 healthy 8 perfect.
The nutrition fulfillment model is intended for the Indonesian people to meet balanced nutrition every meal.
Professor of Community Nutrition Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB) Prof Hardinsyah said 5 healthy 8 perfect has met the aspect for nutritional needs, so there is no excess or malnutrition.
So what are the 5 perfect healthy 8? "What is meant by 5 healthy are staple food (carbohydrate), side dishes, fruit vegetables, beverages and limit GGL (sugar, salt and fat) .If perfect 8 is physical activity, keep hygiene and nutrition check and health," said Hardinsyah during the event Journalist Goes To Campus which was held by Danone Indonesia in Bogor, West Java, Tuesday (08/22/2017).
Basically, the concept of nutritional fulfillment refers to dietary restriction in accordance with the age that has been regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Health (Permenkes) No. 41 of 2014 on Guidelines for Balanced Nutrition. While GGL limitation is considered necessary because of the risk of non-infectious diseases (PTM) such as diabetes, cholesterol to the heart.
While for the sport is important because more and more who have a fat body, easily dizzy, weak and tired because less healthy. "It's all because of lack of exercise, it used to be a sport because of a lot of physical work," he said.
Meanwhile, a community nutrition expert from IPB, Dr Rimbawan admitted that it is not easy to socialize this balanced nutrition issue to the community, because the guidance is more detailed and detailed, such as nutrition according to age group. In addition, it also challenges the simplification of language because not all understand about nutrition terminology.
Therefore, the perfect 5 healthy 8 is part of the conceptualization of the concept of balanced nutrition. Hopefully, this concept can be understood so that society avoid long-term impact.
"If the excess nutrients are at risk of degenerative diseases, whereas if malnutrition is also at risk of disease, for example if malnutrition during children, when adults are also at risk of degenerative diseases," said Rimbawan.
