Background:Supplemental Feeding (PMT) is an activity of providing food in the form of safe and quality snacks along with other supporting activities by considering aspects of food quality and safety. There are two types of supplementary feeding, namely supplementary recovery feeding and supplementary counseling (PMT). Supplemental feeding (PMT) of local food is one of the strategies for handling nutritional problems in toddlers. The PMT activity needs to be accompanied by nutrition and health education for behavioral change, for example with support for breastfeeding, education and counseling on feeding, cleanliness and sanitation for families. Nutritional status is a state of the body as a result of food consumption and use of nutrients, where nutrients are needed by the body as a source of energy, growth and maintenance of body tissues, and regulators of body processes. Nutritional status is greatly influenced by nutritional intake. Objective: To determine the effect of providing local supplementary feeding (PMT) on the nutritional status of toddlers aged 12-59 months. Method: This type of research uses quantitative research using a pre-experimental design pretest-posttest research design. Results: Based on the results of the study, it was shown that a p-value of 0.41 (> 0.05) was obtained. Conclusion: Provision of Local Supplementary Food (PMT) Has No Relationship with Toddler Nutritional Status at UPTD Siriwini Health Center. Suggestion: It is expected that mothers who have toddlers pay more attention to the growth and development of toddlers.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in children that can occur from the womb to the beginning of a baby's life until they are two years old. Worms are an infectious disease caused by the STH (Soil Transmitted Helminths) worm parasite. The impact of worms on children is that it results in a decline in health and nutrition. One of the activities carried out is socialization about worm disease in stunted children as an effort to increase public awareness from an early age through monitoring children's growth and development at posyandu. The aim of PkM is to increase the knowledge of mothers of toddlers about preventing and treating stunting and worms. The method used is counseling through health education on how to prevent and treat worms early in stunted children. The PkM target is 28 mothers of toddlers. The implementation was carried out in Bone Village. The results of the outreach show that the education and knowledge of mothers of toddlers is still low so that the implementation of socialization activities can increase knowledge and build commitment among mothers with toddlers in the Bone Village area to monitor the nutritional status and growth and development of toddlers against worms at the Posyandu.

Anemia is a condition experienced by the body when red blood cells have hemoglobin levels less than the normal limit (<12 gr/dl). Adolescent groups, especially young women, are susceptible to anemia because they menstruate every month. One of the factors causing anemia in adolescent girls is poor nutritional status. Wrong eating habits, such as being lazy about eating and liking to eat fast food instead of home-cooked food, cause insufficient nutrition, thus affecting the nutritional status of young women. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls.  This type of quantitative research uses a cross sectional method. The population is 406 young women from the Mamboro Community Health Center Area High School. The sample was 89 female students with a sampling technique, namely cluster random sampling. Data analysis uses the Chi Square test. The results of the study showed that the majority of young women with BMI were thin at 56.2% and there was a relationship between BMI and hemoglobin levels of young women with a P-Value of 0.000 <0.1. The conclusion of the study is that there is a relationship between BMI and hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls.

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is a major nutritional challenge in Indonesia, including in Bukittinggi. Despite proper health service utilization, the burden of CED is relatively high and has a non-economic component that includes cultural and family social support.  The influence of the husband on the nutritional status of pregnant women is frequently overlooked by prevention and control strategies. This study sought to investigate husbands' thoughts and roles in the prevention of  CED  in pregnant women in  Bukittinggi.  The present study employed a qualitative phenomenological research design including 15 husbands of pregnant women (experienced and non-experienced  CED)  and  5–7  triangulation informants  (pregnant women and health workers).  Semi-structured interviews and non-participatory observations provided the data, while  NVivo  12  was employed for thematic analysis. Source triangulation and member checking validate the data. The results indicate that the majority of husbands do not understand CED scientifically and view their support solely as financial assistance. Although emotional and informational motivations can affect positive nutritional behaviors, they are still regarded as weaknesses. Among the external barriers are costs, long hours of work, and a patriarchal culture that severely restricts husbands' ability to be involved in their wives' nutritional problems. However, some informants have indicated a value shift that prioritizes emotional involvement over intellectual focus.  The  intervention strategies for future implementation should be family-based with a primary focus on couples' nutrition education, emotional  strengthening,  and  the  inclusion  of  males  in  maternal  health  programs  (e.g.,  paternity-readiness sessions

Toddlers who are identified as having nutritional problems can be given adequate nutritional interventions so that growth and development problems do not occur in the future.

Maahad Tahfiz Al-Qur’an Darul Falah, Selangor, Malaysia, is an institution focused on Qur’an memorization for female students. Due to their intense activities, including memorization requiring high concentration, balanced nutrition is essential for supporting their academic performance and health. However, their nutritional intake has not been fully optimized. Initial observations indicated that some students have limited knowledge of balanced nutrition, which may affect their health and nutritional status. This community service program aimed to raise awareness about the importance of balanced nutrition through education, nutritional status checks, and counseling. The program included three main activities: (1) Nutrition education through lectures and interactive sessions, covering basic concepts of balanced nutrition, the food pyramid, and guidelines from the Ministry of Health Malaysia; (2) Nutritional status checks through height and weight measurements to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI), identifying students' nutritional categories and related issues; and (3) Nutritional counseling, conducted after the status checks, teaching students how to achieve or maintain an ideal weight and offering advice on healthy eating and lifestyle habits. The program, which involved 40 students, found that 60% of them had a normal nutritional status, while some were underweight (12.5%), overweight (20%), and obese (7.5%). The education and counseling sessions helped improve the students' understanding of the importance of balanced nutrition and provided guidance on how to maintain or achieve a healthy weight, supporting their overall health and academic.

: Background: Nutrients are obtained from food and fluids which are then assimilated by the body. Nutrition itself is one of the factors that can support the wound healing process, there are things that are no less important that must be considered as well, namely the nutrients from the food we eat during the wound healing process. Objective: The purpose of postoperative diet is to strive for the patient's nutritional status to return to normal immediately to accelerate the healing process and increase the patient's immune system, by providing basic needs (fluids, energy, protein), replacing the loss of protein, glycogen, iron, and other nutrients, correcting electrolyte and fluid imbalances, preventing and stopping bleeding. Methods: The media used in health education activities is leaflets. Through leaflets we hope that the delivery of material can be understood by participants and can be delivered well.Results: The results of observations from this health education activity, that the majority of participants are active in asking questions and answering questions given by the health education team and can explain the essence of the material that has been delivered by the speaker Conclusion: Of the 20 patient families who attended 15 people had understood the fulfillment of nutritional needs for the correct post op wound healing process.

Integrated Service Posts (Posyandu) are important facilities for monitoring children's nutritional growth and development, but there are still many posyandu that use manual methods for recording data. This results in obstacles such as inaccurate data, delays in decision making, and difficulty in accessing information. To overcome this problem, the E-Posyandu information system was implemented at the Posyandu, Mojosongo Village, Surakarta. E-Posyandu is a digital platform designed to facilitate automatic and structured recording, storage and processing of children's nutritional data. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing the E-Posyandu system in improving monitoring of children's growth and nutritional status in Mojosongo Village. By using this technology, the monitoring process becomes more efficient, data is easier to access, and the potential for recording errors can be minimized. Apart from that, this system also offers reminders and notification features to parents regarding the posyandu schedule and necessary health measures.The results of the implementation show an increase in the accuracy and speed of collecting child nutrition data, as well as increased parent participation in monitoring their child's health. It is hoped that E-Posyandu can become an innovative model to be applied in other posyandu in Indonesia.

Previously, germination was reported in many studies that could improve the nutritional status and bioactive compounds in brown rice. However, the change of those functional properties was randomly different in diverse varieties. This study aimed to evaluate the change in chemical composition and functional properties of germinated brown rice from the Mentikwangi variety, one of the local paddy rice in Indonesia. Brown rice was germinated using the soaked and aeration method for 48 h. After that, the proximate compositions were analyzed including the change of total phenolic compounds and radical scavenging activity. We observed that germination in Mentikwangi brown rice significantly increased the crude protein content, but reduced the lipid and total carbohydrate contents. Moreover, the antioxidant activity was improved in germinated Mentikwangi brown rice sample due to the improvement of total phenolic compounds. These results affirm the previous studies which concluded that germination attenuated the functional properties of brown rice, so that has the potential to be developed as a future functional food.
