The self-conscious criteria nutrition (Kadarzi).

1.  Used to eat a wide variety of foods.

2.  Always monitor the health and growth of members  family (weighing), particularly infants and  pregnant women.

3.  Regular use of iodized salt

4.  Providing support to mothers giving birth in order to give just in infants breast milk until 4 months of age.

5. Usual breakfast.  Family kadarzi say, if you can implement all
behavior. If one has not implemented behavior, then the family has not kadarzi.

The things that need to be addressed so that ordinary families eat
wide range of foods are:

1.  Understanding the diversity of foods: Eat 2-3 times a day
which consists of 4 kinds of food groups. From each group and type of food consumed, the the more the better type. The 4 groups of materials
these foods are:
a.  Staple food, as a source of energy substances: rice, corn,
yams, cassava, noodles, and others.
b. Side dishes, as a source of building materials: fish, eggs,
chicken, meat, tempeh, beans, tofu, etc..
c. Vegetables and fruits, as a source of regulatory substances:
spinach, kale, carrots, green beans, long beans, mustard greens,
cassava leaves, leaf katuk, papaya, bananas, oranges,
watermelon, pineapple and others.

2. Benefits of eating a variety of foods, namely: To complementary nutrients needed by the body in order to doing the job every day and avoid disease malnutrition.

3. As a result of not eating a variety of foods, namely: the body will
suffer from lack of certain nutrients and more easily
disease, especially in infants will cause
growth and disturbed intelligence.

4. Actions that need to be done if the family had not eaten variety of foods, namely:
a. Explain the importance of eating a variety of foods
on health, growth and intelligence.
b. Utilizing the yard around the house with growing crops, raising chickens, ducks, fish and other to be eaten by family members and the grounds
also be sold to supplement family income.
c.  Seek assistance from the agricultural sector, for pursue the use of agricultural land are mutual together for families who do not have a yard.
d.  Instruct the mother to cook with a variety of menu
favored by members of the family. Enjoy a variety of
food is available.

As described earlier, that among the group age-prone diseases malnutrition
is a group of infants and toddlers. Therefore, indicators the best to measure the nutritional status of communities is through the nutritional status of infants (infants and young children). Has been produced many different nutritional status of these measurements, and each expert has his own arguments in develop measurements.

Below will be described 4 different ways of measurement often
used in the field of community nutrition and their classification:

1.  Weight per age
Based on the classification of Harvard University, the state of nutrition
children are classified into 4 levels, namely:
Good nutrition when weight infants / children under age
more than 80% Harvard standard
Nutrition less weight if the infant / child according to age
was between 60% -80% of Harvard standard
Malnutrition weight when infants and children according to age
60% or less of the standard Harvard

2.  Height per age
Measurement of nutritional status of infants and young children based on the high weight according to age, also uses a standard modification
Harvard, its classification is as follows:
- good nutrition if the length / height infant / child according
age more than 80% Harvard standard.
- Nutrition less if the length / height infant / child according
age was between 70.1% – 80% of the standard
Harvard. . 196
- Malnutrition if length / height infant / child according
age 70% or less of the Harvard standard.

3.  Body weight by height
Measurement by weight is obtained height by combining weight and height per – age by Harvard standards. Classification of measurement results
weight according to height is as follows:
- Good nutrition when weight babies / children under panjangtingginya
more than 90% of Harvard standard.
- Nutrition less severe if the infant / child according panjangtingginya
was between 70.1% – 90% of the standard
Hravard.
- Malnutrition if weight infants / children under panjangtingginya
70% or less of the Harvard standard.
4. Circumference upper arm (LLA) according to age
Classification of nutritional status measurements infants and children based
upper arm circumference measurements using the classification
as follows:
- Good nutrition, if the LLA infant / child according to age more than
85% standard Wolanski.
- Nutrition less, if the LLA infant / child according to age are
between 70.1% – 85% standard Wolanski.
- Malnutrition , if LLA infants / children under age 70%
or less than standard Wolanski.

5.  Body Mass Index
To find out if our weight is ideal.
Overweight or too thin; we can use
calculation of body mass index (Body Mass Index / BMI) .
Health experts advise people who are excessive weight, but do not have health risk factors dangerous (such as high cholesterol or high daraj pressure) for start doing physical activity, such as more sports banyakl to
prevent weight gain.

People with a surplus weight and with risk factors, such as cholesterol and
high blood pressure, need to actively lose weight, with mengontol diet and exercise. There are good programs the first consultation with a physician or the experts health.

Setting a good diet can not only healthy body, but also can prolong life expectancy. Various studies showed a reduction of risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and even Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Conversely, the wrong diet can be the main impetus of the terrible disease above. In simple, it is best with a balanced diet, four healthy five perfect.
When we do not eat nutritious food or drink, we can experience bone loss (vitamin deficiency), bleeding gums (lack of vitamin C) or even a disruption
transporting oxygen in the blood to every cell (iron deficiency).

So when we talk about nutrition or nutrition, we talked about why we eat what we eat, and
how foods affect the body and health us. Healthy foods that when eaten regularly will prevents / delay as long as possible the various diseases
degenerative processes due to aging bodies.

1. Vitamins
Vitamins can be divided into soluble vitamin group fat and water soluble. Water-soluble vitamins are vitamins B and C, and fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, and K.

The function of each vitamin is as follows:
•  Vitamin A works for the growth of epithelial cells, and
as a regulator of light sensitivity in nerve stimulation and eyes.

•  Vitamn B1 serves to metabolize carbohydrates, water balance in the body, and the absorption of fat by the intestine.

•  Vitamin B2 function in stimulating the transfer of light to optic nerve, and enzyme function in the oxidation process cells.

•  Vitamin B6 function in the production of blood cells, and in growth and employment pross nerve.

•  Vitamin C, function as activators various enzymes innovators proteins and fats, the oxidation and dehydration in the cell, important in the formation of platelets.

•  Vitamin D controls the levels of lime and posfor in together child mumps gland (parathyroid), increase calcium absorption from the intestine and posfor, and affect the endocrine glands.

•  Vitamin E, works to prevent bleeding for women pregnant and prevent miscarriage and needed at the time cells were split.

•  Vitamin K, protrombin function in the formation, which
is important in the process of blood clotting.

Mineral
Minerals such as iron, potassium, calcium, magnesi-um, sodium.
Minerals, consisting of calcium (Ca), posfor (P), iron (Fe), substance fluorine (F), sodium (Na), and Chlor (Cl), potassium (K), and iodine (I).

In general, minerals function as part of a substance active in the metabolism or as an important part of the structure cells and tissues as an enzyme cofactor.

Crude Fiber
Crude fiber (English = crude fiber) were derived from cellulose and lignin of plant cells tedapat. Eating foods contains quite a lot of vegetables because vegetables contain crude fiber. In English food like that is called
roughages, consisting of vegetable fiber, fiber, leather fruits, corn, and others. Vegetable and fruit holding an important role in the human body. Vegetable is source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Also contains substances that not nutrition but are needed for the health of the human body.

Therefore, consuming vegetables and fruit is very important. The habit of eating fruits and vegetables need to be socialized since childhood. With diligent consume vegetables and fruit, discard large water (BAB) to be smooth. Fiber contained in the they can push the stool to exit. Therefore, children or adults who consume less fruit and vegetables
usually will have difficulty in defecation. If foods that contain lots of fiber consumed, the remainder food is relatively capable of absorbing water so that the dirt expands, its volume increases and reflexes CHAPTER happened
every day. This is a healthy pattern because dirt can immediately removed from the body. Transit time of feces became more short because sewage progress every day.

But if the consumption of fiber as a result of poor food remains food piled on so much longer rectum. To throw it away take up the volume enough
to stimulate defecation. Finally there was constipation and hard bowel due to stop even the hardened feces. If can be issued usually shaped like goat droppings. Large intestine will also work harder. No rare bowel must be accompanied by mules-mules first to encourage the dirt pile. If occur for days unable to defecate, may be imagined how the consequences.

Water
Water can be separated into water obtained directly from drinking water or water that comes from food and the produced by cells in the cellular combustion process.

1.  Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates can be divided into; glycogen (C6H10O5) m,
starch (starch, starch), and the very long molecules (cellulose).
Carbohydrate, based on sugar constituent groups can  divided into monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
The function of carbohydrates is as one of the energy-forming
The most expensive, because in general the source of these carbohydrates
derived from plants(rice, maize, cassava, and etc.) which is the staple food.

2. Fat
Fats can be divided into; triglycerides, fatty acids,  glycerol, posfolipid (PL), and cholesterol. Fat, derived from cooking oil, meat, margarine, and so on. Main function for body fat is to: Generate the largest calories in the body
humans (1 gram of fat produces approximately 9.3 calories). As solvent vitamins: A, D, E, and K. As a safeguard against body parts specific, and protective body parts on low temperatures.

3. Protein
Proteins can be grouped into; protein complex (polypeptides)
and simple (amino acids), and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Amino acid is any organic compound which has carboxyl functional group (-COOH) and amine (-NH2 usually).
In biochemistry often narrower sense: both attached to one atom of carbon (C) the same (called atoms C “alpha” or ?). Carboxyl group to give the nature of acid and clusters amine to give the nature of base. In the form of solution, amino acids is amfoterik: tends to be acid in alkaline solution
and a base in acid solution. This behavior occurs because amino acids could be a zwitter-ion. Amino acid compounds are among the most widely
studied for one very important function in organisms, namely as a constituent of protein.

Amino acid structure with amine groups on the left and the carboxyl group in
right. Amino acid structure in general is one C atom which binds four groups: an amine group (NH2), group carboxyl (COOH), hydrogen atoms (H), and one group remaining (R, from the residue) or also called clusters or side chain
distinguishes one amino acid with another amino acid. amino acid functions as:
1.  Constituent proteins, including enzymes.

2. Basic framework for a number of important compounds in
metabolism (especially vitamins, hormones and nucleic acids).

3.  Essential metal ion binding that is required for the
enzymatic reactions (cofactor).

Essential amino acids
Amino acids needed by living things as the author
protein or as a framework is important molecules. Amino acids
is essential for a species if the species of organisms is needed but could not produce their own or always short of the corresponding amino acid. To
meet this demand, it must be memasoknya species from outside
(through food).

The term “essential amino acids” applies only to heterotrof organisms. For humans, there are eight (there are called nine) essential amino acids that must be met from the daily diet, ie isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Histidine and arginine referred to as “half-essential” because the human body healthy adults capable of needs.

Nutrients are substances contained in a type of specific food . The study or review of food issues associated with known health nutritionist. Nutrient consumption food in one can determine the achievement level
health, or often called nutritional status. If the body is
the level of optimum health, in which saturated the network by
all the nutrients, it is called an optimum nutritional status. Under conditions
of  the body free from disease and has an endurance so hight.

If a person’s diet consumption not balanced with the needs of the body, it will happen errors due to nutrition (malnutrition). Malnutrition include
excess nutrients is called nutrient more (over nutrition), and malnutrition
or lack of nutrition (under nutrition).

Chemically, the composition of the human body is composed of: water, gas,
salt, and organic compounds. If viewed from the chemical arranged, then our bodies contain the element carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), and phosphate (P).

In the life of everyday people, people can not be separated from
food, because food is one of the essential requirements to live, in addition to air (oxygen). Four main functions food for human life are:

1.  Maintaining the body’s process of growth / development
and replace damaged tissue.

2.  Getting the energy to perform daily activities.

3.  Regulate metabolism and regulate the various balance
water, minerals and other body fluids.

4.  Role in the body’s defense mechanism against
various diseases.

In order for food may be beneficial for the health body, the
the food we eat everyday are not just food.
In a further development of nutrition science from procurement,
selection, processing, up to serving the food.

From these limits, can draw the conclusion that the science of nutrition is
includes two important components of food and health. To achieve optimal health foods is not necessary just food, but foods that contain nutrients element of  nutrition. Nutrients needed to maintain and improve health are grouped into 5 types, namely proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
