- INTRODUCTION
Nutrition in food is a problem has not really been solved until now. Various kinds of problems in food nutrition are always present in the developmental stage of a child. Problems often arise, especially in the provision of improper and deviant food. This deviation causes disturbances in many organs and systems of the child's body. In fact, according to data, more than a third (36.1%) of school-age children in Indonesia suffer from malnutrition (LIPI, 2004). Based on FAO data in 2006, there were around 854 million people in the world experiencing chronic hunger and 820 million of them were in developing countries. Of these, 350-450 million or more than 50% of them are children, and 13 million of them are in Indonesia (Unilever, PT 2007) (Mawarni, 2018). In general, i want to grow according to my age. However, in some circumstances it will affect growth a disturbance appears. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002, the number one cause of under-five mortality is due to malnutrition, which is at 54%. Based on the WHO classification of malnutrition prevalence, Indonesia in 2004 was classified as a country with a high nutritional status because 5,119,935 (or 28.47%) of the 17,983 children under five in Indonesia were classified as undernourished and malnourished.This is certainly a big problem because food is something humans need in everyday life (Purwani et al., 2013). However, it is the nutrition in food is one of the problems continues to grow today.
Instant noodles are foods liked by all people in Indonesia, this is due to its delicious taste, easy presentation and of course economical prices (Gumulya et al., 2019). There are many people who consume instant noodles. Even based on Riskesdas 2018, the proportion of eating habits of instant noodles in Central Java Province was recorded at 3.8% (1 time per day), 58.9% (1 to 6 times per week) and 37.3% ( 3 times per month). According to the adolescent age group 10 to 14 years, the proportion of eating instant noodles was 11.6% (1 times per day), 68.3% (1 to 6 times per week) and 20.2% (3 times per month), while In the adolescent age group 15 to 19 years, the proportion of eating instant noodles was 11.2% (1 time per day), 67.6% (1-6 times per week) and 21.2% ( 3 times per month) (Pratiwi et al., 2021). From these data it can be concluded consumption of instant noodles in Indonesia has a fairly high number.
Adolescence is a period of life between children and adults. The environment and lifestyle can affect adolescents, including in terms of food. The increasing consumption of instant noodles results in an imbalance in intake it will have an impact on a person's nutritional status (Pratiwi et al., 2021). So instant noodles are not the answer to the nutritional development of a teenager. Instant noodles have an adverse effect on health if consumed in large quantities.
According to Harsanto (2015) Consumption of instant noodles too often can pose risks and dangers to the health of the body, because instant noodles contain preservatives and low nutritional content (Efrizal, 2020). Instant noodles contain ingredients not good for the body and are at risk of giving disease to the human body. Besides, instant noodles if Consumed continuously will experience digestive disorders for those who consume it (Widiyaningsih et al., 2016). Of course from what is contained in instant noodles, it can be said instant noodles are a type of food is less healthy for the body.
However, among the public considers instant noodles have good nutrition for consumption, not even a few classify it as a nutritious food. This low knowledge can be caused because the advertising process circulating in the media, especially television, is not balanced with education about healthy food from related parties (Handrianto et al., 2018). In a study conducted by Fitri Wulandari (2014) at the Husada Karya Jaya Nursing Academy, it was found level of knowledge of students and college students about the dangers of consuming instant noodles at the Husada Karya Jaya Nursing Academy was moderate (63%) (Wulandari et al., 2015). Of course, this figure has not yet reached the desired target. Instant noodles have a content not good if consumed continuously so it is very necessary to conduct an education about the dangers of consuming instant noodles there are no more people who do not know about this and can avoid all the dangers exist in instant noodles.
From the previous explanation regarding the dangers of instant noodles and the lack of education for the whole community, we will conduct research on the dangers of consuming too much instant noodles. The novelty of this study is (i) Education using Power Point media can be enjoyed by teenagers, (ii) In addition to education on the dangers of consuming instant noodles, we will also educate students about the difference between ordinary instant noodles and healthy noodles circulating in Public. This study aims to provide interactive education and provide understanding to the students of Middle School 3 Parongpong about the dangers of consuming instant noodles and the difference between them and healthy noodles.
