Putra Adytio Giriyoga, A.Md.Ft., one of the alumni of the Physiotherapy study program, also provided counseling to participants regarding how to maintain health by carrying out routine activities and maintaining good nutritional intake. According to him, routine activities that children can do are being active, always maintaining personal hygiene, and having a regular sleep time. “Another important thing is maintaining children’s nutritional intake. Nutritional intake can be provided from simple dishes such as vegetables, fruit, fish, chicken, eggs, and others. Avoid foods or drinks that contain excess sugar, fat and calories,” said Adytio.
