National and global reports showed a high prevalence of sodium intake above the recommended threshold. The pandemic situation might have altered people's eating habits into a healthier diet to improve the immunity system. A high-sodium diet, which has previously been reported as a substantial contributor to several degenerative diseases, might be considered unhealthy eating habits. This study aimed to analyze whether the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the eating habits of high sodium foods and drinks in college students. This cross-sectional study used a food frequency and perception questionnaire in December 2019 - August 2020, conducted in direct interviews and online questionnaires. Forty-three college students enrolled in the present study as respondents. The number of respondents with above-average high sodium eating habits decreased during the covid-19 pandemic, although not statistically significant (p 0.05). More than 60 percent of respondents admitted no significant changes in packaged foods and drinks intake, even though 79.1 percent of respondents reported healthier food and drinks intake during the Covid-19 pandemic. College students/adolescent needs to restrict their consumption of high sodium foods and drinks, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic to improve the immune system. It is also important to emphasize on the massive and continuous promotion of healthy eating habits among college students. Keywords: Covid-19, eating habits, sodium, pandemic ABSTRAK Data nasional dan global menunjukkan tingginya prevalensi konsumsi sodium diatas batas rekomendasi asupan. Kondisi pandemi Covid-19 dapat mengubah pola konsumsi masyarakat menjadi lebih sehat untuk meningkatkan sistem imun. Diet tinggi natrium dilaporkan sebagai penyebab penting dalam perkembangan berbagai penyakit degeneratif, sehingga dapat dikategorikan sebagai kebiasaan makan yang tidak sehat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis apakah pandemi Covid-19 telah mengubah kebiasaan makan dan minum tinggi natrium di kalangan mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross-sectional dengan kuesioner FFQ dan persepsi makan. Penelitian ini berlangsung pada Desember 2019 – Agustus 2020 yang dilaksanakan secara wawancara langsung dan menggunakan kuesioner online. Responden terdiri dari 43 mahasiswa. Jumlah responden dengan pola konsumsi tinggi natrium menurun selama pandemi Covid-19 meskipun tidak signifikan (p 0.05). Lebih dari 60 persen responden mengakui tidak ada perubahan signifikan terkait konsumsi makanan dan minuman kemasan , meskipun 79.1 persen melaporkan konsumsi makanan dan minuman menjadi lebih sehat selama pandemi. Mahasiswa/remaja perlu mengurangi konsumsi makanan dan minuman tinggi natrium, terutama selama masa pandemi Covid-19 untuk meningkatkan sistem imun. Penting untuk diperhatikan bahwa promosi pola konsumsi makanan sehat di lingkup mahasiswa perlu dilakukan dengan langkah yang masif dan berkelanjutan. Kata kunci: Covid-19, pola makan, natrium, pandemi

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Stunting merupakan terhambatnya tumbuh kembang yang ditandai nilai Z-score indeks PB/U atau TB/U <-2SD. Stunting menjadi masalah utama di Indonesia dengan persentase balita stunting di tahun 2018 mencapai 30%. Banyumas merupakan kabupaten kedua dengan prevalensi balita stunting terbanyak di Jawa Tengah. Stunting disebabkan oleh berbagai faktor, seperti kurangnya asupan protein hewani, higiene sanitasi rumah yang buruk, dan pola asuh yang kurang tepat.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan keragaman asupan protein hewani, pola asuh makan, dan higiene sanitasi rumah terhadap kejadian stunting anak balita.Metode: Rancangan penelitian berupa observasi analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel berjumlah 61 anak balita, ditentukan menggunakan simple random sampling pada balita berusia 12-59 bulan di Desa Karanglewas, Kecamatan Jatilawang, Banyumas, Jawa Tengah. Pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner FFQ, CFQ, dan observasi rumah sehat. Data dianalisis menggunakan Pearson Product Moment, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan uji regresi linier berganda.Hasil : Keragaman asupan protein hewani pada responden tidak berbeda jauh (50,8% rendah dan 49,2% tinggi). Sebagian besar responden mendapatkan pola asuh makan tepat (98,4%), tetapi higiene sanitasi rumah masih rendah (70,5%). Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan terdapat hubungan keragaman asupan protein hewani terhadap kejadian stunting pada anak balita (p=0,024, r=0,289). Namun tidak terdapat hubungan pola asuh makan (p=0,327) dan higiene sanitasi rumah (p=0,103) terhadap kejadian stunting pada anak balita. Uji multivariat menunjukkan keragaman asupan protein hewani dan higiene sanitasi rumah secara bersama-sama mempengaruhi kejadian stunting (p=0,038, r2=0,102).Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan keragaman asupan protein hewani terhadap kejadian stunting. Keragaman asupan protein hewani dan higinene sanitasi rumah mempengaruhi kejadian stunting apabila terjadi bersama-sama.

The high prevalence of anemic adolescents in Indonesia resulted in urgent demand for a food product with high iron content as a healthy snack. This research aims to produce the best formula for red bean plus goat milk yogurt. The method was a randomized group design with two factors; the proportion of red bean and goat milk (100:0; 90:10; 80:20; 70:30), and fermentation time (12 and 24 hours). The organoleptic test includes flavor, smell, viscosity, color, and preference using a preference test with 55 panelists. Iron contents measured using the AAS method. The data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Organoleptic results analyzed using the Friedman test followed with a double comparative test. The best formula determined based on iron content and organoleptic results using the effectivity index. Red bean and goat milk proportion significantly affect iron content (p = 0.037). The combination of fermentation time and red bean-goat milk proportion significantly affects the sensory quality (p = 0.000). Fermentation time had no significant effect on iron content (p = 0.83). The iron contents were 23.30-33.62 mg/L. The best product has a red bean and goat milk proportion of 90 percent:10 percent, 24 hours fermentation, and 33.62 mg/ml iron content. The serving size is 80 ml, fulfilled 10.35 percent daily iron need of female adolescents.

<p><em>The study was aimed to analyze the effect of nutritional education on attitude changes and increased of macronutrients and water intake in scout teenagers. The study was quasi-experimental with pre- and post-test control group design. The treatment group was given nutritional education four times during one month. Pre-test was conducted a week before intervention and post-test was conducted a week after intervention. Subjects were all members of Saka Bhayangkara and Saka Wira Kartika Scout. The result showed that nutritional education was significant improved median value of attitude score and increased (p &lt;0,05). macronutrients intake in treatment group. The average of macronutrients intake in treatment group, before and after intervention were 1137,8±178,7 Kcal and 1490,4± 206,6 Kcal/day for energy; 40,4 ± 9,8 g/day and 60,8 ± 9,3g/day for protein; 38,5 ± 12,6 g/day and 59,3 ± 9,4 g/day for fat; 155,6 ± 29,5 g/day and 177,6 ± 33,5 g/day for carbohydrates; 782,4±347,7 mL and 834,6±383,2 mL for water. Nutritional education improved nutrition attitudes and increased macro-nutrient intake among scout.</em></p>

Food supplementation prior to exercise could supply glucose for energy booster and enhanced performance. Food supplements with potent antioxidant activity could also help alleviate oxidative stress formation during exercise. This study aiming to investigate yellow watermelon-plantain juice administration prior to anaerobic exercise on blood glucose level and its protective effect on markers of oxidative stress formation that is malondialdehyde (mda) serum level. Thirty-five male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five different groups in which received different treatments. Anaerobic exercise in this study was set as swimming test for three minutes. Blood glucose level were examined as baseline, thirty minutes after juice supplementation, and after exercise test. P2 groups has the highest blood glucose level before and after exercise (111.86 mg/dl and 100.52 mg/dl, respectively). Mda level after exercise differ significantly between groups (p < 0.05) with negative control group has the highest level of Mda (7.68 nmol/ml) and P2 has the lowest level among treatment groups (1.8 nmol/ml). It can be concluded that yellow watermelon-plantain juice supplementation prior to anaerobic exercise is an effective source of energy due to its rapid glucose availability in the serum. Antioxidant content in yellow watermelon-plantain juice could also suppressed malondialdehyde serum level after exercise
