JAKARTA - The 2025 National Nutrition Day reminds us all of the importance of a healthy and balanced diet, especially in the midst of various eating trends that do not pay attention to health.

Understanding of the right way of eating is becoming increasingly relevant for maintaining the health of the body. On this occasion, let's understand how a balanced diet, in accordance with the needs of the body, can provide benefits for overall health.

Nutrition doctor from Siloam Hospitals Kebon Jeruk, dr. Marya Haryono, M.Gzi, Sp.GK, FINEM, revealed that many people still think that eating is only satisfied without considering the quality and balance of nutrition.

In fact, improper diets can increase the risk of various degenerate diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disorders. This shows how important it is to fulfill the right nutrition so that the body continues to function optimally.

According to dr. Marya, each body has different nutritional needs, and it is important to pay attention to this in choosing food.

"The right food for our bodies is not only a matter of being full, but a matter of fulfilling nutrition that is in accordance with the needs of the body," he said.

A healthy diet is not a difficult thing to apply in everyday life. In principle, eating rice, side dishes, and vegetables is a form of application of balanced nutrition that can be done in various places, both at home, warteg, and restaurants.

The community itself has an important role in choosing the foods they will consume, because balanced nutrition can be realized by choosing various types of foods rich in nutrients that the body needs.

In addition, dr. Marya emphasized that in order to adopt a healthy diet, we also need to adjust the food to their respective body conditions. For example, for diabetics, it is recommended to reduce excessive carbohydrate consumption and avoid foods that contain high sugar.

This is to help regulate blood sugar levels to stay stable. Meanwhile, for those who experience kidney function disorders, it is important to limit protein consumption so that the kidneys are not burdened more severely.

"Adjustment to the condition of the body is important. Even if the protein is healthy, but for kidney patients it can affect the condition of the disease. For that, daily diets need to be adjusted so as not to overdo it," added doctor Marya.

The application of balanced nutrition in everyday life requires more attention, but it can be done in a simple way. Start by maintaining diversity in the daily food menu, such as including vegetables and fruits in sufficient portions, and choosing a healthy source of protein.

Regulating a regular diet is also very important, for example by eating three times a day and adding healthy snacks between the main meal times. In this way, the body can gain stable energy throughout the day without malnutrition or malnutrition.

In supporting efforts to fulfill nutrition, PT Finusolprima Farma International is also committed so that people can better understand the importance of maintaining a balanced diet with various agendas or education to the community directly.

"We believe nutrition education must include theory and practice. Therefore, in commemoration of the 2025 National Nutrition Day, we involve doctors, nutritionists, and chefs to provide knowledge and ways to present healthy menus that are easy to implement in everyday life. We are also actively disseminating information about nutrition fulfillment through social media," said dr. Siswandi, PT Finusolprima Farma International's Group Marketing Head.
