Sentimen Publik : Antara Konsumsi Mie Instan atau Inovasi Mie Organik
Tumblr media
Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara dengan tingkat konsumsi tertinggi urutan kedua setelah negara Cina berkisar 13,270 juta bungkus atau setara 92,4% dari total penduduk di Indonesia (Sindi, 2022).
"Konsumsi mie instan lebih baik tidak lebih dari dua bungkus dalam satu minggu dan tidak dijadikan kebiasaan rutin. Bila ingin mengkonsumsi mie instan sebaiknya diberikan tambahan sayur dan protein seperti telur, ayam, daging serta sumber protein lain. Tidak dianjurkan konsumsi mie instan sebagai lauk atau dimakan hanya dengan nasi karena hanya mengandung karbohidrat saja," pungkas Tri Kurniawati selaku Ahli Gizi Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya.
"Cara masaknya yang sangat mudah, punya banyak varian rasa, mudah dikreasikan menjadi aneka macam makanan," tutur Samuel.
" Harganya murah meriah, mudah didapatkan dimana-mana. Entah itu di warung dekat rumah hingga supermarket," tambahnya.
Namun, berdasarkan Data kandungan gizi pada salah satu merek mie instan di Indonesia didapatkan hasil bahwa: dalam satu bungkus mie instan ukuran umum (85 gram) mengandung kalori sebesar 380 kkal, 49 gram karbohidrat, 4 gram gula, 7 gram serat, 8 gram protein, dan 21 gram lemak. Sedangkan untuk ukuran mie instan ukuran jumbo (129 gram) didapatkan hasil berupa kandungan : 560 kalori, 80 gram karbohidrat, 13 gram gula, 3 gram serat, 13 gram protein dan 21 gram lemak. Beberapa komponen vitamin dan mineral yang ada meliputo Vitamin A (50%), Vitamin B1 (50%), Vitamin B6 (25%), Vitamin B12 (20%) dan natrium (970 mg) (Zahra et al., 2023).
Menurut Zahra et al., 2023, konsumsi mie instan melebihi batas konsumsi dapat menimbulkan gangguan kesehatan yang bervariasi sekaligus kelainan fungsi. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kandungan karbohidrat sederhana, lemak dan natrium yang tinggi. Beberapa gangguan kesehatan yang dapat ditimbulkan dari pola konsumsi mie instan secara berlebihan yaitu:
a. gangguan pencernaan, mie instan termasuk jenis makanan yang sulit untuk dicerna oleh tubuh sehingga dapat membuat sistem kerja pada saluran cerna bekerja lebih berat.
b. gangguan ginjal, adanya penumpukan natrium dan cairan dalam tubuh dapat menyebabkan terganggunya fungsi ginjal.
c. obesitas, adanya kandungan kalori yang tinggi mengakibatkan berat badan naik dengan mudah.
d. tekanan darah tinggi, tingginya kandungan natrium dalam garam pada 1 kemasan mie instan dapat menyebabkan tekanan darah meningkat dan risiko kardiovaskular. Selain itu, konsumsi natrium per hari tidak boleh lebih dari 2.000-2.400 atau setara dengan 5-6 gram garam.
e. sindrom metabolik, terjadi ketika tubuh terbiasa menerima makanan instan dan kurang menerima sayuran dapat menyebabkan gejala penumpukan lemak pada perut, hipertensi, gula darah tinggi hingga kadar lipid yang tidak normal.
Sumber : Zahra et al., 2023.
Berbicara mengenai inovasi pangan berkelanjutan, mie instan menjadi salah satu produk pangan yang disoroti banyak kalangan untuk dilakukan inovasi melalui fortifikasi. Penambahan bahan dalam inovasi tersebut dapat berupa sayuran, buah-buahan maupun limbah steril dengan nilai gizi yang cukup tinggi. Salah satu inovasi mie organik yang sudah ada di Indonesia adalah mie organik daun kelor dari Desa Buahan.
Mie Kelor Desa Buahan adalah salah satu produk inovatif yang kaya akan nutrisi dan manfaat kesehatan. Daun kelor dikenal tinggi vitamin A dan berbagai nutrisi lainnya. Mengolah kelor menjadi mie tidak hanya menawarkan cita rasa yang unik dan lezat tetapi juga memberikan pilihan makanan yang sehat bagi masyarakat," ujar Bupati Sanjaya.
Menurut penelitian Adi et al., 2019, produk mie daun kelor terbukti mengandung vitamin A lebih tinggi dibandingkan produk mie biasa sehingga dapat memenuhi kebutuhan vitamin A harian anak, mengandung vitamin C dibandingkan produk mie biasa yang tidak mengandung vitamin C, mengandung senyawa bioaktif flavonoid berupa myrecyetin, quercetin dan kaempferol sebagai antioksidan.
Potensi pengembangan mie organik daun kelor memiliki nilai ekonomis dengan cara pemasaran yang beragam salah satunya melalui usaha warung makan.
"Untuk rasanya ini benar-benar enak, ditambah kelornya cukup berasa dan jika dimakan mienya saja sudah enak menurut saya," kata seorang pelanggan Satrio.
Selain itu, penggantian substitusi tepung dengan tepung non gluten dapat menjadi salah satu keunggulan mie organik daun kelor. Namun, salah satu kelemahan mie organik terutama mie organik daun kelor adalah harganya yang relatif dua kali lipat dari harga mie instan di pasar.
Jadi, kalian lebih suka mie yang mana nih? Mie instan dengan harga ramah di kantong atau mie organik demi kesehatan? Yuk, mulai sayangi kesehatan tubuh dimulai dari diri sendiri. Love your self❤

body needs the support of superfoods to aid its natural detoxification process:
Brussels sprouts and other crucifers are rich in sulfur, which helps remove heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium from your body.
Chlorella is a dark green algae that binds to heavy metals and carries them out of your body as it passes through.
Sulfur-rich garlic helps with the detoxification of heavy metals and promotes the production of glutathione, a major detoxification antioxidant.
Asparagus contains glutathione and a variety of other antioxidants that help with cellular detox, including the powerful flavonoids quercetin and kaempferol and vitamin C.
Apple’s soluble fiber content (called pectin) may aid the excretion of toxic heavy metals by increasing the amount of toxins like arsenic, lead, and cadmium in urine and acting like a chelator.
Cilantro leaves can enhance mercury excretion and possibly decrease lead absorption.

Giới thiệu về cây cỏ ngọt
Cây cỏ ngọt (Stevia rebaudiana) là một loại cây thuộc họ Cúc (Asteraceae), có nguồn gốc từ Paraguay và Brazil. Từ lâu, cỏ ngọt đã được biết đến như một loại cây có tác dụng làm ngọt tự nhiên, thay thế cho đường tinh luyện. Những lá của cây cỏ ngọt chứa các glycoside steviol như steviol, stevia và rebaudioside A, có độ ngọt gấp 50-300 lần so với đường mía nhưng lại không chứa calo, vì thế đây là một lựa chọn tuyệt vời cho những ai muốn kiểm soát lượng calo trong chế độ ăn uống của mình.
Công dụng tuyệt vời của cây cỏ ngọt
Hỗ trợ người bệnh tiểu đường
Một nghiên cứu ở 12 người mắc bệnh tiểu đường cho thấy việc sử dụng cỏ ngọt với bữa ăn dẫn đến lượng đường trong máu giảm nhiều hơn sau ăn.
Nghiên cứu năm 2010 đã chỉ ra rằng chất làm ngọt trong cỏ ngọt không cung cấp calo cũng như làm giảm đáng kể lượng đường và mức insulin sau ăn.
Ngoài ra, một nghiên cứu kéo dài 8 tuần ở chuột mắc bệnh tiểu đường nhận thấy rằng rằng chiết xuất cỏ ngọt làm giảm lượng đường trong máu và nồng độ HbA1C khoảng 5,32%.
Do đó, sử dụng cỏ ngọt trong chế độ ăn có thể là liệu pháp dinh dưỡng đầy hứa hẹn để kiểm soát bệnh tiểu đường và các biến chứng liên quan.
Kiểm soát cân nặng
Lượng đường bổ sung vào cơ thể được chứng minh đóng góp trung bình 16% tổng lượng calo trong chế độ ăn uống, khiến tăng cân và giảm kiểm soát lượng đường trong máu.
Cỏ ngọt lại là chất làm ngọt tự nhiên không chứa calo và ngọt hơn đường ăn từ 100 đến 300 lần. Do đó, khi sử dụng trong chế độ ăn, cỏ ngọt có thể cân bằng để giúp giảm lượng năng lượng, kiểm soát cân nặng, hỗ trợ giảm cân mà không làm mất đi hương vị của món ăn.
Giảm nguy cơ ung thư tuyến tụy
Kaempferol là một chất chống oxy hóa có trong cây cỏ ngọt.
Các nghiên cứu đã phát hiện ra rằng kaempferol hoạt động như một chất ức chế mạnh, có thể làm giảm 23% nguy cơ ung thư tuyến tụy.
Hỗ trợ giảm huyết áp
Một nghiên cứu năm 2003 cho thấy cỏ ngọt có khả năng giúp giảm huyết áp nhờ tác dụng bình thường hóa huyết áp và điều hòa nhịp tim.
Ngoài ra, một số glycoside khác có trong cỏ ngọt có thể làm giãn mạch máu, tăng khả năng đi tiểu và tạo điều kiện đào thải natri ra khỏi cơ thể, làm giảm huyết áp, giúp bảo vệ sức khỏe tim mạch.
Giảm mức cholesterol
Nghiên cứu năm 2017 trên 20 phụ nữ khi tiêu thụ chiết xuất cỏ ngọt làm giảm đáng kể mức cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-C trong khi tăng HDL-C - một cholesterol có lợi cho sức khỏe.
Hỗ trợ trong việc duy trì sức khỏe răng miệng
Cỏ ngọt giúp làm giảm sự hình thành vi khuẩn trong miệng, khiến nó trở thành một chất phụ gia phổ biến cho kem đánh răng và nước súc miệng.
Ngoài ra, một nghiên cứu cũng cho thấy cỏ ngọt có thể ngăn ngừa sâu răng và viêm lợi, điều mà sucrose - loại đường được tạo thành từ glucose liên kết với fructose chắc chắn không làm được.
Giúp cải thiện chăm sóc da
Chiết xuất cỏ ngọt được cô đặc và lên men trong bể kín nhiệt khi sử dụng giúp ức chế sự lây lan của vi khuẩn, thúc đẩy tuần hoàn máu và cải thiện hiệu quả điều trị bệnh ngoài da như bỏng da, hỗ trợ điều trị da mụn, phát ban nhiệt, chàm, viêm da tiếp xúc,...
Có thể ngăn ngừa loãng xương
Cỏ ngọt có thể hỗ trợ trong việc tăng mật độ khoáng của xương, tăng cường chuyển hóa canxi và điều trị loãng xương dựa trên một nghiên cứu trên động vật.
Cỏ ngọt được sử dụng rộng rãi ở nhiều quốc gia
Cây cỏ ngọt ngày càng được sử dụng rộng rãi trên toàn thế giới nhờ vào những lợi ích sức khỏe và khả năng thay thế đường tinh luyện. Tuy nhiên, một số quốc gia sử dụng cỏ ngọt nhiều hơn cả vì các lý do khác nhau, từ việc cải thiện sức khỏe đến sự thay thế đường trong chế độ ăn uống. Các quốc gia sử dụng cỏ ngọt nhiều nhất bao gồm:
Nhật Bản Nhật Bản là quốc gia tiên phong trong việc sử dụng cỏ ngọt. Từ những năm 1970, Nhật Bản đã sử dụng cỏ ngọt như một chất tạo ngọt thay thế đường trong thực phẩm và đồ uống, đặc biệt là trong các sản phẩm không calo như trà, nước giải khát và kẹo. Cỏ ngọt được ưa chuộng vì không chứa calo và không làm tăng đường huyết, rất phù hợp với nhu cầu của người dân Nhật Bản, nơi tỉ lệ bệnh tiểu đường đang gia tăng.
Hàn Quốc Tương tự như Nhật Bản, Hàn Quốc cũng là một quốc gia sử dụng cỏ ngọt khá phổ biến. Cỏ ngọt không chỉ được dùng trong các sản phẩm thực phẩm mà còn trong các sản phẩm chăm sóc sức khỏe và sắc đẹp. Hàn Quốc đặc biệt chú trọng đến sức khỏe cộng đồng, và cỏ ngọt là một phần trong chiến lược cải thiện chế độ ăn uống và ngăn ngừa bệnh tật.
Hoa Kỳ Ở Hoa Kỳ, cỏ ngọt đã trở thành một lựa chọn phổ biến trong ngành công nghiệp thực phẩm và đồ uống, đặc biệt là trong các sản phẩm dành cho người muốn kiểm soát cân nặng hoặc những người mắc bệnh tiểu đường. Các sản phẩm sử dụng cỏ ngọt, như nước giải khát, kẹo và các sản phẩm ăn kiêng, đã xuất hiện rộng rãi trên thị trường. Cỏ ngọt được FDA (Cục Quản lý Thực phẩm và Dược phẩm Hoa Kỳ) công nhận là an toàn, mặc dù một số dạng chiết xuất chưa được phê duyệt hoàn toàn.
Brazil Cỏ ngọt có nguồn gốc từ Paraguay và Brazil, và được sử dụng rộng rãi ở cả hai quốc gia này. Ở Brazil, cỏ ngọt được sử dụng trong thực phẩm, đồ uống và các sản phẩm dược phẩm, nhờ vào khả năng tạo ngọt tự nhiên mà không ảnh hưởng đến sức khỏe. Cỏ ngọt cũng được trồng rộng rãi ở Brazil, nơi có khí hậu thích hợp cho sự phát triển của loài cây này.
Ấn Độ Ấn Độ là một quốc gia sử dụng cỏ ngọt nhiều trong các sản phẩm chế biến thực phẩm và trong y học cổ truyền. Với tỷ lệ người mắc bệnh tiểu đường ngày càng cao, cỏ ngọt trở thành một lựa chọn thay thế cho đường mía trong các món ăn và đồ uống. Ngoài ra, cỏ ngọt còn được dùng trong các phương pháp điều trị tiểu đường và các bệnh lý khác liên quan đến chuyển hóa.
Châu Âu Mặc dù cỏ ngọt đã được sử dụng trong nhiều năm qua ở một số quốc gia Châu Âu như Đức và Pháp, nhưng sự sử dụng của nó vẫn chưa phổ biến như ở các quốc gia châu Á hay Bắc Mỹ. Tuy nhiên, việc sử dụng cỏ ngọt đang tăng lên, đặc biệt trong các sản phẩm thực phẩm tự nhiên, thực phẩm chức năng và đồ uống không đường.

Side Effects Of Eating Too Many Chia Seeds
Tumblr media
What Are The Side Effects Of Eating Too Many Chia Seeds That Health Food Experts Won’t Tell You Nutritional benefits of Chia seeds are well known. They give you everything from fiber to omega fatty acids and antioxidants. But in excessive amounts, Chia seeds give rise to side effects that range from a disrupted digestion to nutritional imbalances. We'll discuss all these associated risks and the ways to minimize them to derive maximum benefits out of them.
A Beginner's Guide to Chia - What Do You Eat them For?
Chia seeds have numerous health benefits, as recorded. They make a great addition to any diet as modern science says. People primarily eat them because they are nutrient-rich. They are good sources of fiber and proteins; omega-3 fatty acids and quite a few vitamins and minerals. These nutrients are necessary for overall health. They boost your energy levels and your immune function. They boost hydration by absorbing water, forming a gel-ly consistency. They fill you for longer. This is also one of the ways the Chia seeds support digestion and normalise bowel movements. It cures a large range of stomach and digestive complaints and creates a healthy gut.  A robust heart-health comes from the omega-3 fatty acid content in the chia seeds. Besides, it reduces inflammation, lowers blood pressure, and balances healthy cholesterol with the bad. The high fiber and protein in chia seeds controls hunger without making you lean towards malnutrition. It’s the way to a healthy weight loss. They control blood sugar efficiently and are a great choice for both hyper- and hypo-glycemic conditions. That aside, Chia Seeds have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The oils in Chia seeds are natural antioxidants, comprising tocopherols and phytosterols; several carotenoids, and some polyphenolic compounds; the last one contributing to its antioxidant property. Chia seeds thus reduce the risk of chronic diseases; of cancer and a heart attack. They are also good defences against diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. The Omega-3 fatty acids block calcium and sodium channel dysfunctions to normalise hypertension and improve heart rate in  arrhythmia. Chemical compounds, such as caffeic acid, ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, rosmarinic acid, and flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, daidzein, etc.) bring anti-aging, anti-hypertensive, anti-cancerogenic and anti-inflammatory effects.
On the Flip Side…- Eating Too Many Chia Seeds
What they don’t tell you is that Chia seeds are highly calorific and might result in excessive caloric intake . Striking a balance between overall diet, physical activity and Chia seeds consumption is therefore essential. Else you gain weight. Eating too many Chia seeds has been found to impact your health with anything from digestive disrupts to killer allergic reactions. This is because too much fibre also comes with too many Chia seeds. While fibre is good, though; in great many quantities, it’s uncomfortable to your stomach. More, here, doesn’t at all mean merrier.  Firstly, there is the fiber overload. Bloating, gas, constipation -  all three may happen at once. They suck in great amounts of water to expand in the digestive tract. Meat eaters, junk-food munchers - beware before taking your first fistful! Alternatively, there could be bowel irregularity. The body will try to expel what suits it not. And fast. For, excessive fiber interferes with the uptake of certain minerals by the body. Calcium and magnesium are the two that mostly face resistance. Long term deficiency of these two minerals heavily affects bone health. Those using Chia seeds as their single source of fiber must take note. Allergic reactions, though very rare, still, result in itching and rash, sometimes swellings. Start with a very small amount to avoid that. Increase your intake slowly to keep watch on any adverse reaction. More so if you are diabetic or face bouts of hypoglycemia from time to time. Excessive consumption of Chia seeds impacts blood sugar levels. Also, you all who’re taking blood-thinners. . Unless you want to bleed too much.
What Amount of Chia Seed is the Right Amount for All?
The rich nutritional profile of Chia seeds makes moderation in consumption the key towards optimal health benefits. But moderation is just a threshold and many could fall beyond that. Still, they are asked not to deter much from the set values. Chia seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and all nine essential amino acids, besides calcium, phosphorus, copper and zinc. Every two tablespoons of chia seeds bring 140 calories, 4 grams of Protein, 11 grams of  Fiber and 7 grams of unsaturated fat. You get 18 percent of the Calcium recommended daily to healthy people. Do the math and you’ll know how many spoonfuls you would like to start with. Your perfect requirement, however, can only be met with your BMI in picture.  Since there’s no RDA set for chia seeds, 50 grams a day seems to be right for most of us all. That’s about five tablespoons. You may calculate the nutritional benefits you get from above. However, that's the max one can have, safely. 1 ounce or 28 grams are good to start with. This will help you assess your tolerance.  Also increase your water intake accordingly when you start moving up from 28 grams. Always remember to soak chia seeds for 5 to 10 minutes before you have them. You don't want them to bloat in your throat. There are also far better ways to have Chia seeds.
In What Ways You May Have Chia Seeds?
The gel soaked chia seeds form in about 10 minutes is the favourite way of many, after keeping it in the refrigerator for sometime. It can be added to any other food you eat. It makes up for one-fourth of your oil requirements and use of eggs in baked goods without affecting the recipe’s texture.  The lack of flavour in Chia seed makes it an ideal topping to almost any food to boost the nutrition profile. Sprinkle into any meal a day; in dressings, marinades, sauces, batters and doughs. It must not go with sweet foods, though.

The Power of Kale: Why This Superfood Deserves a Spot on Your Plate
In the world of healthy eating, few foods have garnered as much attention as kale. This leafy green vegetable has become a staple in smoothies, salads, and even snacks, and for good reason. Packed with nutrients, low in calories, and incredibly versatile, kale is a true superfood that can benefit your health in countless ways. If you haven’t already embraced this vibrant green, here’s why you should.
Tumblr media
What Makes Kale So Special?
Kale belongs to the cruciferous vegetable family, which includes other nutritional powerhouses like broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. What sets kale apart is its impressive nutrient profile. Just one cup of raw kale contains:
Vitamin K: Essential for blood clotting and bone health.
Vitamin A: Important for vision and immune function.
Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that supports skin health and immunity.
Calcium: Crucial for bone health (yes, kale has more calcium per calorie than milk!).
Fiber: Promotes digestive health and keeps you feeling full.
Antioxidants: Helps combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
And the best part? Kale is incredibly low in calories, making it a perfect addition to any diet.
Tumblr media
Health Benefits of Kale
Supports Heart Health Kale is rich in fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, all of which contribute to a healthy heart. The fiber helps lower cholesterol levels, while potassium regulates blood pressure. Additionally, the antioxidants in kale, such as quercetin and kaempferol, have anti-inflammatory properties that protect against heart disease.
Boosts Immunity With its high vitamin C content, kale is a natural immune booster. Vitamin C stimulates the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections. Plus, the antioxidants in kale help reduce inflammation, keeping your immune system strong.
Promotes Healthy Skin and Hair The vitamins A and C in kale play a key role in maintaining healthy skin and hair. Vitamin A helps with cell growth and repair, while vitamin C is necessary for collagen production, which keeps your skin firm and your hair strong.
Aids in Digestion Kale is an excellent source of fiber, which supports a healthy digestive system. Fiber helps regulate bowel movements, prevents constipation, and feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut.
Supports Bone Health Thanks to its high levels of vitamin K and calcium, kale is a great food for maintaining strong bones. Vitamin K helps your body absorb calcium, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
How to Incorporate Kale into Your Diet
One of the best things about kale is its versatility. Here are some easy and delicious ways to enjoy this superfood:
Kale Smoothies Add a handful of kale to your morning smoothie. Pair it with fruits like bananas, apples, or berries to balance out the slightly bitter taste.
Kale Salads Massage kale with a bit of olive oil and lemon juice to soften the leaves, then toss it with your favorite toppings like nuts, seeds, and a light vinaigrette.
Kale Chips Bake kale leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt for a crunchy, healthy snack.
Sautéed Kale Sauté kale with garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a quick and nutritious side dish.
Kale in Soups and Stews Add chopped kale to soups, stews, or pasta dishes for an extra boost of nutrients.
A Word of Caution
While kale is incredibly healthy, it’s important to enjoy it in moderation. Kale is high in vitamin K, which can interfere with blood-thinning medications. Additionally, consuming large amounts of raw kale may affect thyroid function due to its goitrogen content. Cooking kale can help reduce this effect.
Conclusion
Kale is more than just a trendy health food—it’s a nutrient-dense powerhouse that can transform your diet and improve your overall health. Whether you’re blending it into a smoothie, baking it into chips, or tossing it into a salad, there are countless ways to enjoy this leafy green. So, the next time you’re at the grocery store, grab a bunch of kale and start reaping the benefits of this incredible superfood. Your body will thank you!
