Tren Kopi Kekinian: Dampak Tinggi Gula

Dr. Gilbert Golhi, internal doctor at Bumame Clinic Cideng Branch in Central Jakarta, urged the younger generation to be more cautious about the increasing trend of consuming sweet drinks in the modern era. One of the factors contributing to sweet drinks is the consumption of trendy coffee. Chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease used to only appear at the age of 40, but now many people in their 20s are affected,” said Dr. Gilbert during a health discussion at Bumame Clinic Cideng Branch, Central Jakarta, on Thursday, September 11th, 2025. He mentioned that the trend of trendy coffee and bubble drinks has the potential to increase the body’s burden due to their high sugar, milk, and calorie-rich toppings. “The calories can be hundreds in one glass, which burdens the body if consumed continuously,” he explained. In addition to limiting sweet drinks, Gilbert also encourages young people to balance their lifestyle with at least 150 minutes of exercise per week according to the World Health Organization’s recommendation. He added that exercise will not be effective if the calorie intake exceeds the energy burned. He believes that habits such as fast food consumption, excessive portions, and infrequent health check-ups also increase the risk of non-communicable diseases. “With regular check-ups, treatment can be faster and simpler,” he said. Building a healthy lifestyle from a young age, including maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and receiving vaccinations as recommended, is key to preventing chronic diseases in the future. “A strong immune system is the key. If we are aware from a young age, our future health burden can be lighter,” Gilbert added.
