[Healthy consuming counseling : Clinical and also community perspectives].
Thirty-two teachers from 10 preschools in Cisalak subdistrict, Subang district, West Java province, Indonesia, received a two-day training on Balance Nutrition and My Plate in February 2018. The main messages underlined in the training were consume a variety of foods, drink enough water daily, wash your hands with soap, be physically active, and monitor your body weight. The training was followed by an eight-week implementation period to preschoolers aged 3 to 6 y. The knowledge of the teachers increased by up to 33 percentage points (average score 69 to 82 pre- vs. posttest) after training, and the teachers answered correctly to the same questions 15 mo later. The mothers' knowledge increased by up to 37 percentage points after parenting sessions. All seven teaching aids provided were used by end-line, but their usage decreased after seven months (range 2 to 7) and further decreased by 12 mo postintervention (range 2 to 5). A teacher's handbook and a flipchart were the two aids persistently used. The practices of washing hands with soap, bringing healthy packed lunches, and monitoring weight and height continued after 12 mo postintervention. Dissemination of Balance Nutrition knowledge to fellow teachers of the same school, colleagues from different schools, or to representatives of preschool associations was evident. Training should be scaled up to the district level, using trained teachers as trainers and adopting a cascade training method. National roll-out by teachers' associations, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, could improve the knowledge of over 200,000 preschool teachers and potentially improve the nutrition of 19 million preschoolers.The challenge for nutrition science is to understand strategies to enable a balance between healthy diets and sustainable food systems. This study was to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emission of food consumption related to different dietary preferences among Indonesian adults by body mass index (BMI).
We utilized the existing food consumption survey databases. Dietary and anthropometric information were obtained from Total Diet Study (Studi Diet Total/SDT) in 2014 and Basic Health Research (Riskesdas/RKD) in 2013. The most consumed food items from 14 food groups were selected as representatives of rice, cassava, tofu, long beans, banana, chicken meat, chicken liver, mackerel tuna, chicken egg, condensed milk, palm oil, white sugar, shallot, and ground coffee. The GHGs emission factors were acquired from Thai National Life Cycle Inventory Database. Food weight (gram), energy intake (kcal), and GHGs emission (kgCO
eq) from consumption of these food items were analyzed among BMI groups.

Annual GHGs emission by underweight, normal, overweight and obesity group were 794, 827, 801, and 791 kgCO
eq/person, respectively. Retinoic acid The highest contributor of GHG was chicken meat, followed by rice and chicken eggs (190, 175, and 123 kgCO
eq/person/y, respectively). Indonesian people in the obesity group consumed higher amount of food (p=0.001) than other groups, however, they emitted lowest GHG emission (p=0.001).

This finding suggested that selection of food type plays a critical role on the environment and amount of consumption. Food choices of the population may ultimately result in impacts on environment and have public health consequences.

Research suggest that a poor quality diet (lacking in macro and micronutrients) may lead to deficiencies that are associated with depression and anxiety disorders. The present research was designed to study the prevalence & association of depression & anxiety with protein intake among adolescent boys and girls (aged 13-15 y) studying in public schools of Delhi. 546 adolescents participated in this cross-sectional study (selected from public schools in Delhi). For the assessment of depression and anxiety symptoms and dietary micronutrient deficiencies Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; administered to the parents) and 24 h recall and food frequency questionnaire (administered to the subjects) were used respectively. Adolescent Micronutrient Quality Index (AMQI) was further used to assess the protein quality of the diets. Prevalence of depression and anxiety were 33.5% and 27.47% respectively. Assessment of diets through AMQI revealed that low intake of protein rich foods like milk and legumes was significantly associated with higher mean scores of depression (p less then 0.001) and anxiety symptoms (p less then 0.001). In the multivariate analysis for depression and anxiety symptoms, it was observed that males who were not consuming milk for breakfast had higher odds of getting depressed (OR 0.28; 95%CI 0.10-0.77; p=0.0177) and anxious (OR 0.28; 95%CI 0.10-0.77; p=0.0177) and females had higher odds of getting depressed (OR NE; 95%CI NE; p≤0.0177). This study highlights the association of mental health with quality and quantity of protein consumed by adolescents. It will also serve as a strategic tool for mental health prevention and management policies designed for adolescents. It also adds to the growing body of research in the area of nutritional psychiatry.Adolescents are susceptible to nutritional problems. One of the problems in adolescents is the incompatibility of actions related to food selection. An unbalanced diet will affect nutritional status; hence a guide is needed in food selection by considering the principles of balanced nutrition. This study aims to determine the relationship of balanced nutrition practices with obesity in adolescents. This was a cross sectional study. The independent variables in this study were food diversity, hygiene behavior, physical activity and body weight monitoring while the dependent variable was obesity. The independent vaiables reflect the four principle of balanced nutritional guidance. The subjects of this study were 192 high school students. Data were collected by using Semi Quantitative-Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) to assess food consumption, IPAQ short form to measured physical activities, and questionnaire to assess hygiene and weight monitoring behavior. Results showed that there were 19.8 percent overweight and obesity, 100 percent of dietary consumption was inconsistent with Balanced Nutritional Guidance, 53.
