Happy Smiles on National Children's Day: IT’s Buah and YAGIN Bring Joy and Cold-Pressed Juice Nutrition to Children Battling Kidney Disease
National Children's Day is an important moment to spread love and care for all children across Indonesia, including those fighting chronic illness.
On Sunday, July 26, IT's Buah had the honor of taking part in a humanitarian event initiated by the Indonesian Children's Kidney Foundation (YAGIN). Through its support of cold pressed juice for children's kidney health, IT's Buah handed out pure fresh juice free of charge to help support nutrition and bring joy to children fighting kidney disease.
Little Warriors Healing Day: A Day of Recreation with 100 Participants at Jakarta Aquarium
Under the theme "Little Warriors Healing Day," this recreational event was specially designed to entertain and refresh the spirits of children battling kidney disease. A total of 100 participants, made up of 50 children accompanied by 50 parents and caregivers, gathered together to enjoy the marine life at Jakarta Aquarium.
A mix of heartfelt emotion and joy filled the venue. The children's cheerful laughter was a precious sight, especially considering how much of their daily lives is spent in hospital treatment rooms.
The Harsh Reality of Kidney Disease in Children: From Genetic Factors to the Burden of Dialysis
Through in-depth interviews with caregivers and parents at the event, a number of concerning facts emerged about what triggers kidney disorders at such a young age. Most cases are caused by genetic factors, but modern lifestyle habits, such as high consumption of refined sugar, synthetic preservatives, and rarely drinking plain water, also accelerate the decline of kidney function.
"The hardest and most physically and emotionally draining challenge is the hemodialysis process the children have to go through routinely, whether daily or weekly," said one of the YAGIN caregiver representatives.
This lengthy medical procedure often leaves the children feeling tired and worn out. That's why YAGIN held this recreational event, as a way to help restore their zest for life.
The Role of IT's Buah Cold Pressed Juice in Supporting the Treatment of Children Fighting Kidney Disease
When kidney function declines, food and drink intake needs to be managed very carefully. IT's Buah's cold pressed juice products play an important role as a safe supporting nutrition source that benefits the children's physical recovery process:
1. Free from Added Sugar and Synthetic Preservatives
Impaired kidneys struggle to filter out artificial chemicals. IT's Buah juice is made from 100% pure fruit and vegetables with no added water, no refined sugar, and free from artificial preservatives and coloring. This ensures a child's kidneys aren't burdened by extra toxins or additives.
2. Rich in Antioxidants to Fight Oxidative Stress from Hemodialysis
Children undergoing routine dialysis are highly susceptible to excess oxidative stress within their body's cells. Pure nutrients and vitamins processed using the cold-pressed method, without heat, preserve the integrity of natural antioxidants, which work to neutralize free radicals and support a child's immune system.
3. Alkaline-Forming Food That's Easy for the Body to Absorb
In line with the natural health principles laid out by detoxification expert Andang W. Gunawan, ND, fresh fruit and vegetable juice is alkaline-forming. This alkaline quality helps neutralize acidity in the body (acidosis) caused by medication metabolism residue, while also giving the digestive system a rest so the body's energy can focus on cell regeneration.
The #SehatBerdampak Commitment to Indonesian Children's Future
IT's Buah's participation in the Little Warriors Healing Day event is a real demonstration of the company's vision, #SehatBerdampak (Health with Impact). IT's Buah believes natural health is every individual's right, and that high-quality nutrition should be able to bring a positive impact to the wider community, especially to children who need extra care.
Let's come together to strengthen healthy family lifestyles by limiting the consumption of processed foods high in preservatives and sugar, and by regularly consuming pure natural nutrition to protect vital organ health from an early age.
