Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo (UMPWR) - In order to commemorate National Nutrition Day 2025, students of the Real Work Lecture (KKN) held a socialization activity entitled “Getting to Know Balanced Nutrition”. The event was held on Thursday, January 30, 2025 at SD Negeri Keburuhan, Ngombol District, Purworejo Regency. The event aimed to increase students' understanding of the importance of a healthy diet to support their growth and development.
This socialization activity was attended by students from grade 1 to grade 6 of SD Negeri Keburuhan. The KKN students provided education on the concept of balanced nutrition, which includes consuming the right portion of food from various food groups, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. They also emphasized the importance of water and physical activity to maintain a healthy body.
In addition to theoretical material, this activity was also complemented by hands-on practice of proper handwashing before eating. The students were asked to directly practice how to wash their hands according to the video that had been shown. The socialization event ended with a meal together with all students.
The Head of SD Negeri Keburuhan, Sri Rahayu, appreciated the initiative of UMPWR KKN students. She hopes that similar activities can continue to be carried out to increase children's awareness from an early age about the importance of good nutrition. In addition, she also hopes that children can continue to practice good handwashing in their daily lives, not just at school.
