Marlina Muzakir Calls for Regular Fish Consumption Among Parents in Sabang

SABANG | INDATANEWS.COM – Fish is recognized as an important source of protein and essential nutrients that play a vital role in children's brain development. Parents are therefore encouraged to regularly include fish in their children's diets.

Marlina Muzakir, the Early Childhood Education (PAUD) Ambassador of Aceh, emphasized this message after distributing stationery packages and processed fish products to students of TK Negeri 11, SD Negeri 20, and SD Negeri 22 in Sabang, Gampong Aneuk Laot, Sukakarya District, on Monday morning (June 11, 2026).

"Protein and especially omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are essential for children's brain growth. Regular consumption helps build neural networks, improves cognitive function, memory, and concentration, and also strengthens the immune system," she explained.
