Abstract

Healthy food is often heralded as the cornerstone of achieving and maintaining optimal health. However, this widely accepted notion does not always hold true in practice, as there are significant risks associated with the overconsumption of healthy foods or their consumption under certain conditions. This research delves into the various health risks that can stem from an otherwise healthy diet, particularly when it leads to nutritional imbalances, potential organ damage, and psychological issues such as Orthorexia Nervosa a condition characterized by an obsessive focus on healthy eating. Through an extensive review of the relevant literature, this study critically evaluates the side effects associated with diets that are considered healthy but lack balance. It also investigates the long-term consequences of adhering to popular diet trends that, without proper medical guidance, may inadvertently cause harm rather than promote health. The findings underscore the necessity of a balanced and individualized approach to diet, as well as the importance of comprehensive nutritional education to mitigate the adverse effects of dietary habits perceived as healthy.

Abstract

Climate change is a major challenge for global society, especially in coastal areas that are vulnerable to the impacts of environmental change. Tanjung Jaya Village in Panimbang District, Banten, is an example of a coastal area that faces major threats due to climate change, such as coastal abrasion, tidal flooding, and changes in weather patterns. The people of Tanjung Jaya Village have rich local knowledge, which has been passed down from generation to generation and has proven effective in managing natural resources and mitigating disasters. This study aims to explore the potential of ethno-sciences or ethnology in addressing the impacts of climate change in this village, with a focus on mangrove management, sustainable agriculture, and coastal ecosystem protection. The results of the study indicate that the integration of traditional knowledge with modern science, such as satellite-based monitoring technology, can increase the effectiveness of climate change mitigation. Therefore, the development of policies that support the strengthening of the role of local wisdom in mitigating climate change is very much needed to increase community resilience to natural disasters

Abstract

Traditional farming systems are a form of long-term interaction between humans and their environment that manifests ecological and cultural adaptation. This study aims to explore the dynamics between the preservation of local knowledge and the pressures of modernization in the transformation of traditional farming systems of indigenous peoples in Teluk Bintuni, West Papua. Using an ethno-science approach with qualitative-descriptive methods through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, FGDs, and documentation studies in the Moskona, Wamesa, and Sumuri indigenous communities. The results of the study indicate that traditional farming systems are still maintained with high dependence on sago (85%), sweet potatoes (72%), taro (66%), and bananas (54%) as sources of food and cultural identity. The transformation of the farming system does not follow a linear pattern from traditional to modern, but rather creates a hybrid system that selectively combines traditional elements with modern technology. Indigenous peoples are not passive in facing change, but actively negotiate and adapt based on their ecological and cultural interests. The ethno-science approach offers a framework for integrating local knowledge into development planning, without ignoring the ecological and spiritual dimensions of indigenous peoples. Dialogue between local knowledge systems and modern science can produce more adaptive and inclusive agricultural policies, especially in indigenous areas such as Teluk Bintuni that face pressure from natural resource exploitation.
