Choosing food with balanced nutrition. Since the beginning of 1990-an The world's nutritionists have researched and concluded that the nutritional needs of each individual are not the same and should be adjusted to the existing conditions of various factors. Both age factor, level of activity, as well as the typical condition of a person such as pregnancy, age of youth, certain diseases and so on.

Speaking of balanced nutritional problems many things can happen when a person experiencing unbalanced nutrition including malnutrition or poor nutrition is even the worst possibility can lead to death. In developing countries that still have remote villages that are difficult to reach by health workers, there are still often cases of bad nutrition especially in children. When viewed physically it may not be very different from the age of the child, but in non-physical it is obviously apparent. Typically, children with unbalanced nutrition are more likely to be quiet and less active. In terms of learning the ability to absorb lessons in school is very minimal, this is obvious because the brain cells require a number of important nutrients in the growth period only.

Daily diet Composition

It turns out that there is a slight contradiction between the understanding that we know with the concept of 4 healthy 5 perfect, as well as seeing the research results from the advancement of nutritional sciences are rapidly growing today. The old concept is no longer able to answer the need for nutrition, the ideal concept is balanced nutrition. This concept is more focused on the adequacy of nutrients (AKG) required by each person.

For healthy living Ideally based on the concept of balanced human nutrition requires 5 groups of nutrients namely:

2. Carbohydrate as a source of energy
3. Protein as a source builder
4. Fat as energy reserve
5. Vitamin 
6. Regulatory Source Minerals

And when described again to 45 the type of nutrients needed, should not be excessive and should not be deficient. After that it is equipped with mineral water and fiber to facilitate the process of methobolism of human body.

The composition of balanced nutrients consumed by the body every meal should consist of carbohydrates (55-60%), fats (30%), proteins (15%). The point is that we consume various types of food but in a number that is not excessive. Arrange a daily meal schedule with 3 main meals, 2 times the distraction and enough milk 2 times, especially for children.

Nutritional needs issues

But the nutritional problems that occur are less calories and Protein (CTF). In addition to the need for micro-nutritional substances such as, iron is only fulfilled 9%, vitamin A 48% and Zinc (Zn) 45%. The low intake of micronutrition causes the high cases of disease due to lack of micro-nutrients also known by the problem of unnoticeable hunger because generally people do not know clearly the symptoms that occur. In Indonesia the main nutritional problems concerning iron deficiency, iodine, folic acid, vitamin A and some types of vitamin B.

The most complete micro nutrition source Spirulina

The Micro Blue Green Algae (microgreen blue algae) is a marine plant consisting of approximately 6000 species. Spirulina is also referred to as "super green food" because of its extraordinary nutrient content is very beneficial for health and beauty.

The benefits of Spirulina are very much, this is because Spirulina is very rich in beta carotene, essential amino acids, proteins and other important minerals. Among natural plants that have been known, Spirulina is the most superior in terms of collecting various types of nutrients and the best compounds that serve to maintain the health of the body. Nutrient content in 1 gram spirulina is equal to nutrients in 500 grams of vegetables and fruits, in other words the intake of 8 grams spirulina can meet the nutritional intake for 40 days. In comparison, the beta content of carotene in the 10x higher spirulina than carrots, 10 grams of spirulina can meet 70% of the daily needs of iron and also meet 3-4x folding daily needs of vitamin A, vitamin B complex, Vitamin D and vitamin K. Spirulina is also good for toddlers because the rich of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) is an acidic substance that is found in breast milk and because it is easily absorbed, Spirulina can also help the body in combating malnutrition.

Spirulina contains 5 main nutrients and 4 natural pigments.

1. 60 Protein-70% with essential amino acids (for cell formation).
2. Carbohydrate 1-5% (energy source).
3. Fat 3-9% (source of energy, regulating processes that take place in the body).
4. Contains more than 13 vitamins: A, B, E, folic acid, etc.
5. Contains more than 13 main minerals: K, Ca, Mg, Selenium, etc.
6. 4 Natural pigments: chlorophyll, the nutritional content of Spirulina is also almost the same as the ideal standard
