Abstract

Purpose: This research aimed to characterize the nutritional, health and basic sustainability practices among regular smoothies' consumers (RSC; ≥ 1-2 servings/week for ≥ 2 months).

Design: Cross-sectional survey.

Setting: Self-report online multiple-choice questionnaire survey of random sample of adults from online retailer database and community.

Sample: 193 healthy Israeli adults (75.6% females, mean age 40.65 ± 14.36) completed an online multiple-choice validated survey from May 2022 to August 2023.

Measures: Demographic, anthropometric, and lifestyle habits, including physical activity, FV consumption, and sustainability practices.

Analysis: Data were analyzed using chi-square tests for categorical variables and Mann-Whitney tests for non-normally distributed continuous variables. The level of statistical significance was set at .05.

Results: RSC were significantly older (P < .001) and more physically active (P = .025) than occasional smoothie consumers (OSC). They consumed more FV, reaching nutritional recommendations, and exhibited significant lifestyle changes, including reduced meat (P = .013) and processed food consumption (P = .013), and regular meal consumption (P = .045). RSC used fewer disposables (P = .002) compared to OSC and non-smoothie consumers (P = .001). RSC demonstrated a higher incidence of weight reduction compared to weight gain.

Conclusion: RSC is significantly associated with health and nutritional sustainability.

调配出更健康的生活方式：经常食用果蔬冰沙对膳食模式和可持续健康行为的影响。

目的：本研究旨在了解经常饮用冰沙的消费者（RSC；≥ 1-2 份/周，≥ 2 个月）的营养、健康和基本的可持续做法：设计：横断面调查：样本：193 名健康的以色列成年人（75.6% 为女性，平均年龄为 40.65 ± 14.36）在 2022 年 5 月至 2023 年 8 月期间完成了在线多选验证调查：人口统计学、人体测量和生活习惯，包括体育锻炼、氟利昂消费和可持续发展实践：数据分析：对于分类变量采用卡方检验，对于非正态分布的连续变量采用曼-惠特尼检验。统计显著性水平定为 0.05：结果：与偶尔饮用冰沙的人相比，偶尔饮用冰沙的人明显更年长（P < .001）、更喜欢运动（P = .025）。他们摄入了更多的食物添加剂，达到了营养推荐值，并表现出明显的生活方式改变，包括减少肉类（P = .013）和加工食品的摄入（P = .013），以及定时进餐（P = .045）。与 OSC 和非畅饮者相比，RSC 使用的一次性用品更少（P = .002）（P = .001）。与体重增加相比，RSC 的体重减轻率更高：结论：RSC 与健康和营养的可持续性密切相关。
