Stunting is a growth disorder in toddlers as a result of chronic malnutrition so the child's height does not match their age based on the index of height for age (TB/U) with limits (z-score) is less than -2 Standard Deviation. The impact of stunting causes irreversible disruptions to the physical development of children, which causes a decrease in children's cognitive and motor skills, as well as increased susceptibility to suffering from a disease. One way to overcome malnutrition that occurs in children under five needs to be supplemented with supplementary feeding (PMT). Providing balanced nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life (HPK) can meet the needs of macro and micronutrients to avoid or reduce the risk of stunting. High amounts of protein, iron, calcium, and carotenoids are important for the growth and development of children, especially in preventing stunted growth and malnutrition of protein energy. Moringa leaves are reported to have quite a few nutrients, namely, 10 times the vitamin A found in carrots, 17 times calcium milk, 9 times the protein of yogurt, and carotenoids which are more than oranges, carrots, and melons. Moringa oleifera can be used to treat malnutrition and strengthen complementary foods with local plants that are rich in protein and micronutrients. Processed Moringa leaves can be consumed in dry or wet form and mixed in other foodstuffs with minimal costs. This menu can be a complementary food to fulfill the nutritional needs of 1000 HPK.

Background: The mangrove bark extract (Rhizophora apiculata) is known to have the ability to inhibit the formation of free radicals, act as antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory.  Objective: This study was attempted to investigate the potency of Rhizophora apiculata bark extracts as an antioxidant to protect rat testes from the damage due to cigarette smoke exposure. Methods: An experimental study using a posttest-only control group design was employed. Samples consisted of 25 male rats divided into 5 groups, namely K (-) not treated, K (+) exposed to cigarette smoke without the administration of mangrove bark extract, groups P1, P2, and P3 were exposed to cigarette smoke and each group received a dose of Rhizophora apiculata bark extracts every day for 30 days. Furthermore, P1 obtained 28.275 mg/KgBW, P2 was about 56.55 mg/kgBW, and P3 got 113.10 mg/kgBW.Results: Analysis using One Way ANOVA showed that there were significant effects of administration of extracts on the average number of primary spermatocytes and the thickness of the seminiferous tubules in the rats that have been exposed to cigarette smoke when compared to controls. The dose of extract that has the best effect was 113.10 mg/kgBW.Conclusion: Rhizophora apiculata bark extract is indicated to have a protective effect that can prevent damage in rats testes exposed to cigarette smoke.
