Abstract

Healthy eating patterns and physical activity are two crucial factors that influence physical fitness, especially among junior high school students. This study utilizes a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to explore the relationship between healthy eating, physical activity, and physical fitness. Relevant articles were selected based on inclusion criteria, such as focusing on junior school students, using empirical data, and being published within the last 10 years. The results reveal that a healthy diet rich in nutrients, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, significantly contributes to improving students’ physical endurance and bodily functions. Regular physical activity, such as exercise, has been shown to enhance muscle strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular function. Furthermore, the combination of healthy eating and physical activity demonstrates a significant synergistic effect on physical fitness, creating metabolic balance and reducing the risk of obesity and non-communicable diseases. This study emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach in consistently applying healthy eating patterns and physical activity among junior high school students. The implementation of nutrition education and physical activity programs in schools is a key recommendation to improve students' physical fitness.

Abstract

Background: Ethanolic extract of Murraya paniculata leaves contains several bioactive constituents, but its direct application is limited by physicochemical instability and solubility issues. Objective: This study aimed to formulate and characterize macroemulsions containing ethanolic extract of Murraya paniculata leaves and to identify the most promising formulation based on physicochemical evaluation.   Methods: The extract was prepared by maceration using 96% ethanol. Four macroemulsion formulations were developed using different ratios of virgin coconut oil, Tween 80, PEG 400, and water. The formulations were evaluated through phytochemical screening, organoleptic properties, emulsion type, transmittance, particle size distribution, pH, zeta potential, centrifugation, and cycling test.   Results: The extract contained flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins/phenolics, and triterpenoids. All formulations were identified as oil-in-water emulsions. Based on the reported data, F2 showed high transmittance and a low polydispersity index, while F1 and F2 demonstrated better physical stability than F3 and F4.   Conclusions: The study indicates that F1 and F2 were the most promising formulations; however, the claim of a single best formulation should be supported by complete, consistently presented particle-size, zeta-potential, and stability data.
