Infectious diseases are one of the factors that affect a person’s nutritional status, both children and adults. Nutritional status has an influence on the immune system and the healing process. A person with a poor or even poor nutritional status is more at risk of developing various diseases and the healing time tends to be slower. Someone who is infected with an infectious disease needs more nutritional intake but has a problem, namely a decreased appetite. This can lead to weight loss and worsening nutritional status (Putri,2015).

We really need a variety of foods because there is no single type of food that contains complete nutrition except breast milk. For example, rice is a major source of calories, but is poor in vitamins and minerals; vegetables and fruits are generally rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, but poor in calories and protein; fish is a major source of protein but few calories. Therefore, consuming a variety of foods is absolutely necessary for us to keep our bodies healthy.
In the principle of consuming diverse foods, the proportion of food consumed must also be considered so that it is balanced, in sufficient quantities, not excessive, and carried out regularly. The variety of foods in balanced nutrition is clearly shown in the ”tumpeng gizi seimbang” or Healthy Food Pyramid. “Tumpeng Gizi Seimbang” consists of several tumpeng pieces: one large slice, two medium pieces, two small pieces, and at the top there are the smallest pieces. The width of the tumpeng pieces indicates the portion of food that each person should consume per day.
