Ganjar-Mahfud Will Give Eggs To Pregnant Women To Prevent Stunting, Siti Atikoh Gives Her Reason

JAKARTA - Ganjar Pranowo's wife, Siti Atikoh, said that the number three pair would try to reduce the stunting rate in the country. One way is by giving eggs to pregnant women.

Atikoh said that the pair of Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD will try to provide this intake for the sake of stunting before the child is born. Eggs are deemed appropriate because they are the easiest to look for.

"Providing intake, the easiest intake is eggs. One or two eggs a day," said Atikoh as quoted from his written statement on Friday, December 29.

Atikoh said that eggs have a lot of intake that pregnant women need. "Zat contained in egg whites is the most complete protein," he said.

"Proteins have essential, non-essential amino acids. Well, egg whites are the most complete," continued Atikoh.

The wife of the former Governor of Central Java said protein can indeed be imported from fish. "But it's relatively expensive (temporary, red) the easiest egg," said Atikoh.

(Prosecution, red) is plunged easily, flowed easily, boiled easily. The price is relatively affordable. Yellow egg is high folic acid. Folic acid is why it is very important for mothers who contain it because it is for the formation of brain nerves," he explained.

This egg will be given later after the child is born until he is two years old. Thus, all the nutrients needed since the womb are fulfilled.

It doesn't stop there, every woman who is about to get married to become a future mother also pays attention to her health. Likewise at her age, said Atikoh, women who want to get pregnant should be over 20 years old.

Married may be 18 or 19 years old. However, when pregnant, she is (best, ed) 20 years old so that her anatomy is supported," he concluded.
