Abstract Issue Health promotion in Catalunya isn't a mandatory competency for councils; hence fomenting healthy eating habits isn't a priority for many municipalities because they have to destiny the resources in required issues. To revert this situation, Barcelona Provincial Council, a second level local administration, gives both technical and economic support for health promotion which is specially needed for municipalities with fewer inhabitants. Description of the Problem Adolescence implies autonomy to eat and often it turns in unhealthy eating habits. For this reason, Barcelona Provincial Council, in 2010 creates the project “Cuina sense pares” to promote a healthy eating and an optimum nutritional state from 14 to 18 teenagers in the province of Barcelona. The project counts on cooking workshops throughout territory and on a website www.cuinasensepares.cat that facilitates resources and cooking proposals adapted to the collective. Questions What was the response of the municipalities in the project? How municipalities value the project? Has it been echoed in the media? Results In 10 years, 673 workshops have been realised in 154 municipalities from the 311 in the province of Barcelona with a participation of 9.069 teenagers. Additionally, a 60% of the applicant municipalities have less than 10.000 inhabitants. The municipal technicians have rated the cooking workshops with an average of 9.11 among all. It has appeared 126 times in news media. In addition, the website has had more than 94.000 views and the Youtube channel has had 33.400. Lessons Involve the young in their eating by the elaboration of easy and healthy recipes. As an innovation, healthy cooking workshops are offered to municipalities complemented by a website. Key messages Facilitate tools to municipalities to boost healthy promotion eating programmes between the young. Foment a healthy eating between the young by attractive cooking proposals.

Abstract Background: Firefighters’ health is often affected by a high prevalence of obesity and cardiovascular diseases, which are common risk factors for sudden cardiac death. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of enhancing healthy eating habits and knowledge in firefighters through an education programme. Method: This will be a cluster randomized control trial study. The participants will be assigned randomly into either control (health promotion pamphlet) or intervention (health promotion pamphlet and education materials through WhatsApp) groups. Changes in healthy eating habits and knowledge will be assessed by a self-administrative questionnaire (Appendix III) and anthropometric measurements at three different time points. Discussion: More education is required in order to improve firefighters’ eating habits and knowledge

Media has been blamed for long time and more these days for spreading bad eating habits, inactivity and making unhealthy food choices especially among children. Through my work in the media especially TV, I wanted to use the other side of media and influence healthy eating habits among children and adults. Competitions drive challenge and determination, I created the first Arabic weight loss competition for kids on TV titled "Ghizaak Sihtak" may be translated to " Eat Well Live Well  Competition". The competition allows kids to live their normal everyday life (not in camps) and teaches them how to make healthy choices, be more active and thus lose weight. The Ghizaak Sihtak Compeition helped many kids lose more than 20Kilos in around 6months and keep it off for 2 years so far. This year - the 5th season for   kids - 10 kids started are participating in this weight loss journey while many others are watching them and are affected with their stories. The Compeition is broadcasted on Roya TV.

During their sporting lives, athletes must face multiple difficulties that can have consequences for their mental health and changes in their eating patterns. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze how social skills of the trainer influence the coping capacity, psychological well-being, and eating habits of the athlete, elements that are key to achieving success during competition. This study involved 1547 athletes and 127 trainer. In order to achieve the objective, the mean, standard deviation, bivariate correlations, reliability analysis and a structural equation model were analysed. The results showed that prosocial behaviours were positively related to resilience, while antisocial behaviours were negatively related. Resilience was negatively related to anxiety, stress and depression. Finally, anxiety, stress and depression were negatively related to healthy eating and positively related to unhealthy eating. These results highlight the importance of creating a positive social climate to develop coping strategies that promote mental health and healthy eating habits of athletes.

Abstract Background The World Health Organization has defined school systems as the significant framework for health promotion, because it enables accessibility to most of the child population. Objectives To examine the association between health promotion policies of school principals and student-level factors that predict health behaviour patterns: physical activity and proper nutrition. Methods This cross-sectional study is based on data from the HBSC (Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children) survey that included 7,000 students in grades 6, 8, and 10 in secular and religious public schools and in Arab schools, and about 126 principals. Results The findings of the study indicate: at the student level boys perform physical activity more frequently than girls (B = 0.80, p < 0.01); with increasing age students from a high socio-economic background are more physically active (B=-0.34, p < 0.01); and students in religious public schools perform less physical activity compared to students in secular public schools (B=-0.37, p < 0.01). At the multi-level, implementation of a policy that encourages physical activity is a predictor of physical activity habits at the student level (B = 0.09, p < 0.05). Moreover, findings show that school nutrition policies (OR = 0.89, p < 0.05) and principals' commitment to health promotion (OR = 1.13, p < 0.01) predict healthy eating habits among students. Findings also indicate that students in the Arab sector consume less healthy food compared to students in public schools (OR = 0.54, p < 0.05). Conclusions The results of the current study emphasize the importance of implementing health promotion policies in schools among principals to improve students' physical activity and healthy eating habits.

This cluster randomized controlled trial (CRCT)-designed study aimed to explore the feasibility of a promotion pamphlet and/or WhatsApp as a suitable mode of delivery to promote healthy eating habits with fruit and vegetables (F&V) among firefighters. Convenience and snowball sampling methods were used. Forty-five firefighters from 23 fire stations were recruited and they all received the printed pamphlet, while the intervention group participants (n = 20) received additional teaching material through WhatsApp every two weeks for eight weeks. Feasibility outcomes included retention, practicality, and implementation. The participants reported high levels of satisfaction with the intervention. There were significant improvements in the mean numbers of days consuming F&V (p = 0.002; p = 0.031) in the intervention group, and for fruit consumption (p = 0.033) in the control group between the baseline (T0) and 3 months after completion of intervention (T1). High levels of participants’ satisfaction with the intervention revealed that a full-scale CRCT of the WhatsApp-delivered intervention promoting healthy eating could be feasible, especially as a means of increasing the numbers of days they consumed F&V and the numbers of servings of these consumed per day.

Hispanic children and those from low-socioeconomic status are predisposed to unhealthy eating habits and obesity.Aim. to implement an individualized, face-to-face, parent supported, and school-partnership dietetic intervention to promote healthy eating habits and decrease body mass index. Prospective school year dietetic intervention of 101 obese, Hispanic, low-socioeconomic school-age children representative of Monterrey, Mexico, consisted of anthropometrics, dietetic assessment, energy-restriction tailor-made daily menus, and parental education every three weeks. Student’st-test was used for means comparison. A significant decrease was found in body mass index percentile(96.43±3.32to93.42±8.12/P=0.00)and energy intake/day of −755.7 kcal/day(P=0.00). Among other energy dense foods with significant decline in servings/day and servings/week were processed meats(3.13 ± 1.43to2.19 ± 1.04/P=0.00and5.60 ± 1.75to4.37 ± 2.10/P=0.00, resp.), saturated fat(1.47 ± 1.08to0.78 ± 0.79/P=0.00and2.19±2.18to1.1±1.36/P=0.00), sweetened beverages(2.79±1.99to1.42±1.21and6.21±1.72to3.89±2.80/P=0.00), and desserts and refined-grain bakery(1.99±1.54to1.32±1.59and2.85 ± 2.54to1.57 ± 2.20/P=0.00). There was a significant increase in servings/day and servings/week of water(2.98 ± 2.02to4.91 ± 2.37and6.62 ± 2.03to6.87 ± 0.91/P=0.00, resp.) and nutrient dense foods such as fruits(1.31 ± 0.89to1.66 ± 0.96and3.34 ± 2.24to4.28 ± 2.43/P=0.00)and fish and poultry(3.76 ± 2.15to4.54 ± 2.25/P=0.00). This intervention created healthy eating habits and decreased body mass index in a high risk population. Trial registration number:NCT01925976.

Talking about eating in the passive, as opposed to the active voice, (e.g., The cake will be eaten vs. I will eat the cake) can lead people to see the act of eating to be triggered by the food to a greater extent, leading to the continuation of past eating habits. Depending on whether or not the past habits are healthy, the motivation for healthy eating may change as a result. In study 1, writing passive sentences increased the motivation for healthy eating to the extent that people reported eating healthy in the past. Moreover, in study 2 across 127 languages spoken in 94 countries, when the acted-upons of actions (e.g., the food in the act of eating) became relatively more salient in a language, people became more likely to act on cultural habits that may be relatively healthier, decreasing unhealthy eating. The results are important for understanding the perceived role of food in starting eating as it impacts healthy eating across cultures.
