Jakarta Health Agent Selection
It’s not having a well build, full of muscle and low fat. Healthy life refers to the balance between food and physical activity. The diet should consist of carbohydrate, vegetable, salt and sugar in well arranged portions. So why does the diet should balance what body does? It allows the body to process the incoming meal well.
One of the companies that persistently educate people about healthy life style is Nutrifood. In the 33 anniversary, the company held an event called Health Agent Award 2012 in Hongkong Cafe, Jakarta, Monday (10/4). The event gave awards for parties that contribute in spreading the virus of healthy life.
Health Agent is four men team that consists of one teacher and three students. They actively giving example to the school and the surrounding neighborhood about the healthy life style. It’s not that difficult, for example by bringing your own lunch box instead of buying meal elsewhere. “Three times a week the lunch is rice with vegetable and fruits. So it’s not constantly rice with meat or fish,” Arninta Puspitasari, Nutrifood Public Relations Associate Manager explained.
There were 10 out of dozens of Health Agent teams, spread all across elementary schools in Jakarta that passed the tight selection through their own made essay project. Each project was given three months to comply. Before they jumped into action, the agents were briefed with all the necessary knowledge by a team from the Department of Food Security Surveillance and Counseling, Deputy of Supervisor of Food and Hazardous Materials from National Agency of Drug and Food (BPOM).
They didn’t miss the school cafeterias. The managers were taught how to maintain the sanitation, hygiene and worth selling healthy snacks. “We even include the cafeteria to our evaluation process” said Drs Halim Nababan MM from BPOM.
The winner of Jakarta Health Agent went to SD Santo Vincentius, SDN Johar Baru 01 and SDN Cempaka Putih Barat 03 pagi.
