Brief Summary

Introduction: The epidemiological transition is one of the factors related to the increase in the prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCD), such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer. Among the risks of risk to the development of CNCD are obesity, smoking, alcoholism, sedentary lifestyle and inadequate eating habits, with the last two levels having a high impact on gender and disease progression. Objectives: To promote healthy eating habits and to combat physical inactivity through nutritional monitoring and regular physical exercise, using a competition to stimulate adherence of the institution's employees. Methods: The present project is in agreement with the longitudinal study with the work of evaluation (anthropometric, body composition, laboratory and food consumption), in the eats of the times (at the beginning and end of the four-month intervention period). According to nutritional monitoring and individual guidance on regular physical exercise practice over a period of 12 weeks. Weight reduction, body fat reduction, changes in working methods and eating habits, and the relationship to routine physical activity after the intervention period, and are retested after six months. Expected results: Reduction of sedentary lifestyle, weight loss and body fat, improvement of eating habits, quality of life without working environment and health condition of the participants.

Health in the right measure

EXPERIMENTAL

Nutrition counseling and guidance for regular physical activity. An individualized physical exercise program will be proposed according to each participant's level of physical activity and health conditions. Participants will also receive individualized nutritional guidance. Throughout the project, collective motivational activities will be carried out to promote healthy eating (culinary workshops, talk wheels and others) and individual activities with all participants, in order to evaluate the adherence of nutritional guidelines and to exchange experiences among them.

Model Details: The present project corresponds to a longitudinal study. Intervention will be performed soon after the initial diagnosis, through nutritional monitoring and individual guidance on regular physical exercise for a period of 12 weeks. Participants will be evaluated for weight loss, body fat reduction, changes in laboratory parameters and eating habits and in relation to the routine of physical activities immediately after the intervention period, and will be retested after six months.
