HEALTH - The more activities to be undertaken, then the person's physical ability should also be high. And to obtain the expected physical abilities it must be accompanied by an increase in the intake of nutrients.
Take for example the protein. From the beginning only 0.6-0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight, when a person's activity increases the protein needs could rise to 1 gram per kilogram of body weight.
But in reality, not everyone understands this. Even if their activity increases, usually supplemented only the intake of carbohydrates or the source of their labors.
"I often see when people buy food; white rice, the meat noodles sauce fried potatoes, full carbo so yes, but this is not accurate," said Dr. Rachmat Vishnu Hidayat, SpKO Media Workshop 'Milk as a Supporter of Your Active Lifestyle' along Greenfields Hotel Santika Malang recently.
But the facts on the ground even mention the level of consumption of protein, vitamins and minerals Indonesian people is still low. Data from Health Research Association in 2013 called the national average proportion of related consumption of vegetables or fruit is only 93.5 percent, and this has not changed since 2007.
Not to mention the risk of behavioral data food consumption among people aged over 10 years, where there is the largest consumer consumption flavorings and preservatives (77.3 percent); followed by food and sugary drinks (53.1 percent) and trans fats (40.7 percent).
"In fact, from a long time the people of Indonesia are familiar with the concept of 4 healthy 5 perfect, where everyone should meet the needs of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals plus milk. But this is not followed," said Dr. Vishnu.
Even so Dr. Vishnu also realized when the problems faced by the people of Indonesia is not only a matter of a lack of understanding of the importance of balanced nutrition. "We struggled to meet the intake of nutrients such as busy then forget to buy a meal or so remember to buy a potluck. The cuisine in the cafeteria did not have a choice, the (menu, red) that's it," he explained.
Dr. Vishnu warned, due to 'lack of variety' when activity increases, do not be surprised if later there things that are undesirable such as exhaustion, weight loss due to the lack of calories or even easy to get sick.
So how tricks to keep adequate nutritional requirements but with the practical? Guidance remains 4 healthy 5 perfect.
"Our society in general is difficult to meet the recommended intake in 4 healthy, well yes I could be circumvented by consuming milk as a nutritional complement," he advised.
For the consumption of vegetables, the Ministry of Health has advocated 3-5 servings a day, with one portion being in a separate bowl on the dinner plate. Colors vary the vegetables were initiated, which is ideally 10 colors in a day.
