The risk factors for all of them are closely linked to lifestyle and in particular to diet. For this reason, public health policies in European Union countries, in line with World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations, include in their priority measures actions aimed at promoting healthier food environments. One of these measures are policies for the reformulation of processed foods to reduce critical nutrients: salt, saturated fats, trans fats and added sugars. In Spain, as part of the NAOS Strategy, food reformulation measures have been implemented since 2008. Of all of them, the Plan de Colaboración para la Mejora de la Composición de Alimentos y Bebidas y otras Medidas 2020 stands out, which has led to a reduction in the content of salt, sugar, saturated and total fat in foods belonging to 57 subcategories marketed by the main food manufacturing and marketing companies from 2016 to 2021. Despite this, to date no population-based study has been conducted to test the impact of the measure on the diet of the Spanish population. The present article, by way of example, shows results of the theoretical estimation of total sugar intake in the pre-reformulation period (2016) and post-reformulation period (2024) based on the consumption of beverages in Spain. Data highlight that reformulation policies could have positive effects that need to be evaluated in representative studies of the Spanish population assessing the overall diet, in order to solidly confirm their positive effects on the population's diet.</p>","PeriodicalId":19385,"journal":{"name":"Nutricion hospitalaria","volume":"41 Spec No3","pages":"20-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142292352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The etiology and pathogenesis are related to genetic susceptibility, intestinal microbiota, dysbiosis, immunological abnormalities and environmental factors (tobacco use, NSAIDs, oral contraceptives and diet). Diet may play a key role in the development and prevention of CD. Dietary patterns with high inflammatory potential (high intake of saturated fat, sugars, proteins, salt, as well as low consumption of fruits and vegetables) are associated with a higher risk of CD, while the consumption of a healthy diet, together with the practice of Exercise is a protective factor against relapses in IBD and reduces the risk of CD. Regarding dietary components, the consumption of fiber, as well as dietary polyphenols, has been related to the maintenance of the intestinal barrier by preventing erosion of the mucosal layer. ω-3 fatty acids, in addition to their anti-inflammatory activity, promote the balance of the intestinal microbiota and their supplementation reduces postoperative complications and accelerates recovery in patients with CD. Vitamin D also plays an important role in the integrity of the intestinal barrier by reducing permeability, in addition to having an immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effect, being a useful tool in the improvement of patients with CD.

Egg protein is particularly rich in tryptophan, which is a precursor to serotonin, the neurotransmitter involved in mood, and melatonin, the hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Consumption of tryptophan-rich egg hydrolysates has been associated with improved attention and reduced feelings of sadness or depression. Egg choline is needed for the synthesis of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning, and also for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, the intake of which has been linked to better mental function and a lower risk of dementia in adults. Choline intake during pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube defects and is associated with better offspring development.
