Summary

Background: Currently, one of the health challenges in the field of public health is to improve the quality of life of people with metabolic diseases, using new strategies to promote eating habits and lifestyle that allow an active involvement in health.

Within the new strategies to promote an improvement in the eating habits of the population, culinary-nutritional interventions based on culinary medicine or strategies such as home-cooking, have been proposed as effective measures for the implementation of healthy eating habits in the population. Intervention with families (the environment in which the eating habits of children are implemented for the future) should be highlighted.

Methods: The present project will cover culinary medicine and home-cooking as innovative strategies to improve the eating habits of families through an intervention based on face-to-face (2) and online (2) cooking workshops, where apart from receiving nutritional education, they will be taught a series of culinary techniques (adapted to adults and children) so that they learn to cook in an easy, enjoyable and family-friendly way, with tools to eat healthier in a simple and quick way.

The main objective is to evaluate the feasibility of the culinary-nutritional intervention. The intervention will be carried out with 15 families (one of the parents and one of the children of the family aged between 10 and 14 years), through the measurement of anthropometric parameters and questionnaires on eating habits and lifestyles (both individual and family). In addition, questionnaires specific to the research will be collected in order to study the feasibility of the intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

nutritional and culinary intervention

Each family will attend a total of 4 culinary-nutritional workshops between April and June 2021. Workshops 1 and 2 will be held in the kitchen located at the Science Building of the University of Navarra and will be given individually to each family. Workshops 3 and 4 will be online (Zoom) and will be held in groups of 5 families. These workshops will be held from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm on Fridays or from 11.30 am to 1.30 pm on Saturdays. Finally, a meeting will be organized with all the families (parents and children) where the recipes prepared by the children for the n-CHEF challenge will be shared and prizes will be awarded.
