Di masa pandemi COVID-19 seperti sekarang ini, masyarakat Indonesia sangat khawatir akan kondisi penyakit degeneratif, seperti Hipertensi, dan sistem imun pada diri masing-masing, karena mempengaruhi proses pemulihan jika terkena virus COVID-19. Oleh karena itu, PT AJINOMOTO INDONESIA sebagai perusahaan yang sangat concern dengan isu kesehatan &amp; asupan nutrisi, tak henti-hentinya berupaya untuk mensosialisasikan pentingnya menjaga asupan nutrisi melalui berbagai cara. Menurut Prof Ahmad Sulaeman, sebenarnya ada banyak cara untuk mengurangi risiko hipertensi, mulai dari jalankan gaya hidup sehat dengan berolahraga teratur, dan hindari kebiasaan merokok dan minuman alkohol, hingga yang cukup kompleks dengan menjalankan Diet DASH&nbsp;(Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). Namun, kita juga bisa mengurangi asupan garam atau diet rendah garam, sebagai salah satu upaya yang esensial dan cukup mudah dilakukan untuk mengurangi risiko hipertensi.

&ldquo;Untuk mensiasati pengurangan asupan garam atau diet rendah garam, kita dapat mengganti penggunaan sebagian garam dengan bumbu umami seperti MSG yang akan memberikan dampak positif lainnya. Jadi, jika kalian tetap ingin makanan yang dikonsumsinya memiliki cita rasa yang tinggi, namun sekaligus ingin diet rendah garam juga, cara ini sangat sesuai. dan faktanya, strategi ini juga dapat meningkatkan sistem imun kita,&rdquo; ungkap Prof. Ahmad, saat memberikan materi dalam acara webinar.

&ldquo;Kandungan natrium pada MSG itu hanya 1/3 kandungan natrium pada garam dapur normal, dan sudah banyak juga penelitian terdahulu yang membuktikan bahwa penggunaan MSG bermanfaat untuk membantu penurunan asupan garam namun tetap menjaga palatabilitas makanannya. Ini juga terbukti dengan sertifikasi halal MUI dan izin BPOM bahwa penggunaan MSG sangat aman, sepanjang sesuai dengan anjuran penggunaan,&rdquo; lanjutnya.

&ldquo;Acara Webinar dari AJINOMOTO INDONESIA tidak akan berhenti sampai di sini saja, masih akan ada 15 Webinar lainnya yang akan menghadirkan narasumber kompeten dengan topik-topik menarik seputar gaya hidup sehat dan asupan nutrisi seimbang yang sangat dibutuhkan di masa pandemi ini,&rdquo; ucap Katarina Larasati, Public Relations Manager &ndash; AJINOMOTO INDONESIA.

Jakarta - In an effort to continue to socialize the safety facts of Bumbu Umami and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, PT AJINOMOTO INDONESIA in collaboration with INAVIGA INDONESIA held a Webinar Event: &quot;Salt Reduction Strategy to Reduce the Risk of Hypertension&quot;.

The webinar which was held on Thursday, October 22, 2020, presented speakers who were very experts in their fields, Prof. Dr. Ir. Ahmad Sulaeman, MS, C.Ht, Professor of Food Safety &amp; Nutrition at the Faculty of Human Ecology (FEMA) IPB, and participants in this webinar reached 340, all Nutritionists &amp; Dietitians.

In the current COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesians are very worried about degenerative disease conditions, such as hypertension, and the immune system in themselves, because they affect the recovery process if exposed to the COVID-19 virus. Therefore, PT AJINOMOTO INDONESIA as a company that is very concerned with the issue of health &amp; nutritional intake, constantly tries to socialize the importance of maintaining nutritional intake in various ways. According to Prof. Ahmad Sulaeman, there are actually many ways to reduce the risk of hypertension, ranging from running a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and alcoholic drinks, to quite complex ones by running the DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). However, we can also reduce salt intake or a low salt diet, as an essential and easy enough effort to do to reduce the risk of hypertension.

&quot;To anticipate reducing salt intake or a low salt diet, we can replace the use of some salt with umami spices such as MSG which will have another positive impact. So, if you still want the food you consume to have a high taste, but at the same time want a low salt diet too, this method is very suitable. and in fact, this strategy can also improve our immune system, &quot;said Prof. Ahmad, when giving material in the webinar.

&quot;The sodium content in MSG is only 1/3 of the sodium content in normal table salt, and there have also been many previous studies that have shown that the use of MSG is beneficial to help reduce salt intake while maintaining food palatability. This is also proven by the MUI halal certification and BPOM permit that the use of MSG is very safe, as long as it is in accordance with the recommended use, &quot;he continued.

&quot;The Webinar event from AJINOMOTO INDONESIA will not stop here, there will still be 15 other webinars that will present competent speakers with interesting topics about a healthy lifestyle and balanced nutrition intake which is very much needed in this pandemic,&quot; said Katarina Larasati. , Public Relations Manager - AJINOMOTO INDONESIA.
