Nutritionist and head of Indonesian Food Nutrition Prof Dr Ir Hardinsyah said there are still many Indonesians who are not accustomed to breakfast. In addition, the quality of breakfast consumed, such as energy content, protein, vitamins and minerals also still not meet the needs of balanced nutrition.
Data in 2012 shows that 17 to 59 percent of school and adolescent students and 30.2 percent of adult women are not accustomed to breakfast. "For breakfast quality, 45 percent of schoolchildren do not meet the nutritional needs of breakfast, 70 percent have not met the needs of breakfast vitamins and minerals, and 90 percent have not meet the needs and breakfast," said Prof. Hardinsyah in a press release on Wednesday (7/3).
However, Hardinsyah then explains how breakfast habits among elementary school students in Indonesia have increased over the last five years. Surely this is an achievement for all parties involved in the 2018 National Week Movement (MESSAGE) movement as more and more Indonesian families are getting breakfast benefits, ranging from increasing the concentration and intelligence of children, instilling disciplinary habits, maintaining normal nutritional status, to decreasing the risk of multiple events non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke, he said.
In addition, he also describes how skipping breakfast can interfere with productivity because the body quickly tired, not energized, difficult to concentrate and increase the risk of weight gain.
