AKSI EDUKASI SECANTING (SEMANGAT CEGAH STUTING) MELALUI KONSUMSI PROBIOTIK DAN PREBIOTIK PADA REMAJA PUTRI DI SMK 2 MUHAMMADIYAH PALEMBANG

Abstract

The incidence of stunting could begin at 8000 days of birth, that is begining at the productive age of young women. Young women need to maintain a balanced food intake to prevent the birth of stunted babies. Currently there is still little knowledge and information regarding stunting in adolescent girls, even though it is very important to know. Young women like to consume unhealthy ready-to-eat foods and drinks. Very few young women know about probotics and prebiotics as healthy foods and drinks. Proper consumption of probiotics and prebiotics is very beneficial for the health of the gastrointestinal tract and gut microbiome, as well as for reproductive health. The aim of this community service is to provide knowledge about the importance of consuming probiotics and prebiotics for young women to prevent stunting at 8000 days of birth. The methods used are lectures and interactive discussions. Community service was carried out on July 18 2024, located at SMK 2 Muhammadiyah Palembang. This activity was attended by 25 young women at SMK 2 Muhammadiyah Palembang. All participants enthusiastically took part in all series of community service activities. During the activity, an interactive discussion took place so that young women at SMK 2 Muhammadiyah Palembang knew about the consumption of probiotics and prebiotics to prevent stunting in the first 8,000 days of birth.
