But society is often misguided, arguing that traditional food is food "relatively", and unhealthy. In a society that often comes from the Western food is healthy food and modern. Whereas such presumption is very incorrect. In fact on the contrary, a lot of food from the West which is considered healthy and nutritious, it turns out that was just the foods that do no good for our bodies.
Traditional food is a healthy and nutritious Indonesia very much. A wide range of typical regional foods from Sabang to Merauke is the culinary wealth of the archipelago which is very valuable. Is a big mistake when we can't utilize this culinary wealth with their best. We need more mensosialisasi and educate the public about traditional food Indonesia are healthy and nutritious. So the traditional food of Indonesia more socialized again. Traditional food of Indonesia is expected to be a favorite meal in the best culinary locations in the country.
SOME INDONESIAN TRADITIONAL FOOD EXCELLENCE
Here are some of the hallmarks of typical traditional food Indonesia:

Some research concludes the main factors cause the onset of health problems are terkontaminasinya cells in the body by substances that should not be.
In the process, traditional food preservation, coloring, as well as a flavor enhancer is more accentuated the natural materials wear medically the risk smaller against the rise of a health problem. Thus, the age old and become more productive.
3. Contain lots of fiber
Local food is one of the culinary culture of Indonesia's wealth. Tubers like taro, Yam, cassava, gadung and bentoel many planted by farmers in addition to vegetable and grain. The tubers are easily obtained in the traditional market with cheaper prices. As long as this society considers tubers is outdated and less nutritious.
Whereas, the tubers contain high nutrients, such as for example, gadung containing vitamin C is high so it is very beneficial for the immune system. Local grocery has two benefits simultaneously. : First, ensuring the continuity of the fulfillment of family nutrition and secondly, while empowering local farmers. It could be said that, actually, Indonesia hereditary society is fibrous food eaters.
4. The price is cheaper
A healthy and nutritious food need not be expensive. Many traditional foods are good and healthy, such as Hor are rich with protein content as there is chicken, egg, tempeh, and others. So it is with the source animal foods such as mackerel, sardines, fish, catfish, catfish and eel, contain Omega 3 is very high. Almost the same as that contained in Salmon that cost much more expensive.
THE MOVEMENT BACK TO THE TRADITIONAL INDONESIAN FOOD
During this time we had many misjudge our own traditional foods. Because that then comes an awareness of the national revival in the field of nutrition. I.e., return to love Indonesia traditional foods that are healthy and high in fiber. By digging the potential of traditional food, then in addition will ensure durability and food sovereignty of our own nation, also indirectly will empower farmers and the nation's economy.
A number of nutrition-conscious community appealed to the Government in order to promote and educate the public to make traditional foods as a main source of balanced nutrition everyday. In this regard the role of families especially mothers, have a very important role in introducing traditional dishes made from local to his children.
However, serves traditional cuisine in an interesting and appropriate by the mother against her family's will effect the children of Indonesia. So the children of Indonesia grows with nutritious diet habits and better balanced.
THE RISE OF THE SLOW FOOD MOVEMENT
There is also fast food food food slow food. Hmm ... the food, what is slow food? Thus, fast food food is generally rich in saturated fat and trans fat, high calorie, high fiber, low sugar, and with the addition of synthetic food additives to make the color, texture, and taste mouth-watering. All such material is less good for the health. Even like doughnuts, fast food labeled as junk food (junk food) because it barely gives any nutrients except sugar, fat, and calories.
This situation is disturbing a journalist and Observer pattern of healthy living in Italy i.e. Carlo Petrini. The Slow Food movement ever coined in Italy in 1986. Furthermore the Organization slow food was founded in 1989 in conjunction with the opening of a fast food outlet in Rome, as a resistance movement against globalization is fast food.
In principle, Slow Food invites us back in a natural rhythm. By observing the natural rhythms, we more easily find the meaning of life and can enjoy life. We may not be aware that indeed do cooking activities calmly without haste is the activity of relaxation (meditation on moving), which can help release the exhausted mind and soul.
Here is a real step to get healthy living according to the suggestion of the Slow Food movement.

Try to get fresh food directly from farmers or shopping at traditional markets. The traditional market is a chain of distribution of fresh food are the most short. Needed our body is freshly harvested food or has recently been harvested. Traditional markets are likely to provide a fresh-picked vegetables, because there are no refrigerators to store vegetables to keep it fresh.
2. strive get organic food ingredients.
Choose organic food from trusted manufacturers who have been certified and include your address clearly in the packaging. When the price of organic food is still a constraint, try foods that are estimated to be organic but not sold with the label organic, so it costs more. The food is generally harvested from high altitude, remote and less popular in the daily menu, so that farmers are not compelled to give him a synthetic fertilizers, hormones, or pesticides. For example, duku langsat, soursop, lengkeng, mangosteen, menteng, kedondong, persimmon, sapodilla fruit, custard apples, leaves, bamboo shoots, gnetum terubuk, winged bean, pumpkin tops, tops of fern.
3. avoid MSG and seasoning of instant.
Content of food additives in instant seasoning isn't very good for health, because of the burden the digestive organs. Avoid MSG (monosodium glutamate) as a flavoring dishes, we can replace it with herbs and certain vegetables, such as onion, garlic, onion, leek, celery, ginger, pepper, Sesame/sesame oil, and carrot.
4. instant natural Seasonings and fresh.
In order to save time, we can use instant natural seasonings and fresh. Instant natural spices we can prepare themselves as fresh herbs in stock. Freeze herbs in ice tray, so we just use it as needed, without having to bother peeling and mengulek first.
From a short blurb above, we now know that the traditional food that is healthy and nutritious Indonesia not inferior compared to food from Western countries. The issue is, how to pack the traditional food of Indonesia that is accepted by society more broadly. So the traditional Indonesia become a favorite meal in the best culinary places in the country.
