Nutrition is an important part of growth and development, because there is a connection and is related to health and intelligence, malnutrition. Stunting is a linear growth disorder that can affect the increased risk of illness, death, and impaired late motor development, and stunted mental growth. The type of this research is analytic observational with cross sectional study approach. The population in this study were all children under five in the work area of Kawangkoan Health Center in Minahasa Regency. Children under five 2-5 years. The respondent is mother. The number of samples of this study amounted to 41 people with a sampling technique that is using simple random sampling technique. The results of research on the level of maternal knowledge of 41 respondents were 39.0% who lacked knowledge, and 41.5% had sufficient knowledge, while 19.5% had good knowledge. the rate of exclusive breastfeeding is 41.5% which is less than exclusive breastfeeding, while 39.0% is good, 19.5% is enough to provide exclusive breastfeeding. Toddler respondents who have normal height category are 46%, and category is very short, 31.7%, while the short category is 22.0%. kawangkoan health center.

One of the main challenges currently facing the health sector in Indonesia is chronic child malnutrition. Although many health developments and advances have been made in Indonesia over the past few years, the problem of stunting remains significant. The results of Basic Health Research showed that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia in 2013 was 37.2%. The results of the Nutrition Status Assessment (PSG), in the province of North Sulawesi, the prevalence of stunting according to the TB / U index in 2017 increased by 31.4%. For Kotamobagu City the prevalence of stunting is 38.1%. To determine the relationship of nutrient intake and the level of family income to the incidence of stunting in children aged 3-5 years in the work area of ​​Upai City Health Center, Kotamobagu. This study used a cross sectional design with a sample size of 41 people. Measurement of variables was obtained from interviews using a questionnaire, 24-hour recall, and height measurements using microtoise. The results of this study indicate there is a relationship between iron intake with stunting, whereas energy intake has no relationship with stunting, protein intake has no relationship with stunting events, vitamin A intake has no relationship with stunting, and family income levels have no relationship with stunting. There is a relationship between iron intake and the incidence of stunting while the intake of energy, protein, vitamin A and the level of family income have no relationship with the incidence of stunting.

BACKGROUND: The problem of iron (Fe) deficiency anemia in adolescents often occurs due to incorrect food habits caused an imbalance in nutritional intake and the recommended dietary adequacy. Spinach and beetroot are alternative plants to meet the Fe needs of anemic adolescents. The content of Vitamin C or ascorbic acid in beets and spinach can help absorb Fe in the body. Beetroot also contains relatively sufficient Fe beneficial in overcoming anemia caused by Fe deficiency. AIM: This study aimed to determine the effect of beetroot juice and red spinach juice on increasing hemoglobin (Hb) levels in anemic adolescents. METHODS: It was a Quasi Experiment with a pretest-posttest, non-equivalent control group design. The research subjects were twenty people per group of anemic adolescent girls. RESULTS: In this study, after 2 weeks of beetroot juice intervention to anemic adolescent girls, there was an increase in Hb levels from 11.47 g/dl to 12.02 g/dl. The increase in Hb levels was statistically different (Paired t-test) (p < 0.05). However, the 2 weeks of red spinach juice intervention also experienced an increase in Hb levels, from 11.4 g/dl to 12.08 g/dl. The increase in Hb levels was statistically significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: An effect of beetroot juice and red spinach juice consumption on Hb levels of anemic adolescent girls.

The background of this research, which is based on the phenomenon that occurs related to the pattern of eating habits during the post-disaster in volcano-prone locations in North Sulawesi. Traditional food thinness based on previous research is a nutritious meal required pregnant and nursing mothers, but the initial prescription model of the recipe requires as many as nine basic ingredients of local food that is difficult to fulfill in a state Post-disaster mountain eruptions. The purpose of this research is to produce a model of Tinutuan by observing one local foodstuffs that should not be eliminated and the content of nutritional value similar to the initial prescription. However, modifying it with local foodstuffs is located at the location of the volcano Soputan and Lokon. The research method that has been used is a research development. The results showed that organoleptic tests on ten post-disaster model models of most respondents were more fond of the model containing vegetable. The taste, color, aroma, texture, and appearance of each Tinutuan model remain the same from the initial recipe. Simpulan new prescription model with the use of local food in a mountainous area prone to erupting remains a traditional food that is liked and meets the nutritional needs of pregnant and nursing mothers. It is advisable to create an instant Tinutuan model for nutritional fullness in volcano-prone volcanic locations erupting.
