Objectives: The study aims to formulate and measure the effect of a dietary counseling program for pregnant women with anemia in the Damer region. The importance of the research lies in the fact that many studies and studies have confirmed the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia among women of childbearing age and during pregnancy. Iron anemia usually has a deficiency in other elements such as folic acid, vitamin A and vitamin B complex. The deficiency of these elements has a negative impact on the weight of the newborn and on the health of the pregnant woman, On the other hand, the causes of any anemia were their type, ignorance- poverty- poor eating habits. Procedures: The study was conducted in Damer Hospital and seven health centers in the Damer area, River Nile State. The sample included 30 pregnant women with anemia and frequenting health centers and Damer Hospital during the study period. Where the study was carried out in the second period of pregnancy (14- 25) weeks, for the tribal questionnaire, and pregnant women in the third period of pregnancy (26- 37) weeks, for the post- questionnaire, where the proposed diet program was presented and explained by the researcher for the sample, It is a total of eight informational messages for pregnant women with anemia in the Damer region. Then measure the effect on the post-trial experience in the third trimester of pregnancy (26- 37) weeks. Also providing local food rich in iron for the sample, then measuring its effect after 6 weeks (20- 31) weeks. The main purpose of providing these meals is to raise cognitive food awareness and to measure awareness and knowledge of the nutritional content of the local materials provided. Results: The results of the study showed a low level of education, as the level of education of most of the sample's members is essential, (43.3%) of the sample. And the number of their children was (1- 3), (46.7%), in the age group of (20- 29) years, which indicates the multiplicity of births. The results of the study also showed the prevalence of early marriage, and the age group for marriage was (15- 19) years, (70%) of the study sample. The results of the study also showed the weakness of nutritional knowledge in the sample (food illiteracy), by (80%) of the study sample. Prevalence of anemia (iron deficiency), with three levels, mild anemia (9.5- 10.4 g / dl), moderate anemia (8.5- 9.4 g / dl), severe anemia (7.5- 8.4 g / dl) by 30% and 46%..7% and 23.3%, respectively. The study also showed the lack of a good choice for the types of foods that can increase hemoglobin, that is, lack of knowledge of iron-rich substances (60.0%). The results of the study showed an increase in the level of nutritional and cognitive awareness, an increase in the level of hemoglobin, a decrease in the rates of anemia, an increase in awareness of the importance of monthly follow- up to the doctor, and knowledge and selection of iron-rich foods that increase hemoglobin in the blood. Among the recommendations of the study are designing programs to raise nutritional and health awareness in the region, focusing on the correct healthy food habits and moving away from incorrect food habits, using the local food and nutritional resources available in the study area, and conducting more research in the field of designing food and nutritional education programs. Training of cadres working in the field of nutritional health education, providing audio and visual guidance tools in the field of nutritional education in health centers of childbearing age, And encourage the cultivation of some vegetables at home, such as watercress, purslane and spinach.

Energy And Nutrient Intake

A study was conducted on the influence of maternal education level on food consumption, energy and nutrient intake, and dietary adequacy in 110 pre-school children from Madrid, Spain. With increasing maternal education, children consumed more sugar (p < 0.05), fruit (p < 0.05), and fish (p < 0.05). Snacking was more frequent with decreasing maternal education (p < 0.05). Though statistical significance was not reached, the consumption of pre-cooked foods was greater among children of mothers educated to a higher level, a phenomenon probably related to the work situation of these women. With respect to dietary composition, no significant differences were found between groups for macronutrient, fiber and energy intakes, except for energy supplied by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which was greater in the children of less educated women (p < 0.01). This is probably due to their greater consumption of sunflower seed oil. The diets of children belonging to well-educated mothers came closer to meeting the recommended intakes for folate, vitamin C, and iodine. It would seem that maternal educational level influences the food habits of children. Mothers with less education may require special advice in this area.

Abstract. Emotion-related impulsivity, defined as the tendency to say or do things that one later regret during periods of heightened emotion, has been tied to a broad range of psychopathologies. Previous work has suggested that emotion-related impulsivity is tied to an impaired function of the serotonergic system. Central serotonin synthesis relies on the intake of the essential amino acid, tryptophan and its ability to pass through the blood brain barrier. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the association between emotion-related impulsivity and tryptophan intake. Methods: Undergraduate participants (N = 25, 16 women, 9 men) completed a self-rated measure of impulsivity (Three Factor Impulsivity Index, TFI) and daily logs of their food intake and exercise. These data were coded using the software NutriNote to evaluate intakes of tryptophan, large neutral amino acids, vitamins B6/B12, and exercise. Results: Correlational analyses indicated that higher tryptophan intake was associated with significantly lower scores on two out of three subscales of the TFI, Pervasive Influence of Feelings scores r =  –.502, p < . 010, and (lack-of) Follow-Through scores, r =  –.407, p < . 050. Conclusion: Findings provide further evidence that emotion-related impulsivity is correlated to serotonergic indices, even when considering only food habits. It also suggests the need for more research on whether tryptophan supplements might be beneficial for impulsive persons suffering from a psychological disorder.

This was a cross-sectional study conducted with adolescents, aged 10 to 15 years, from a public school and a private school in Arroio do Tigre, RS. Nutritional status was assessed by body mass index. A food frequency questionnaire containing processed and ultraprocessed foods was applied. The sample consisted of 64 adolescents with a mean age of 12.03±1.15 years, 53.1% of the public school. Most of the adolescents were eutrophic (p=0.343), and when compared to the consumption of processed and ultraprocessed foods, most eutrophic schoolchildren reported a higher frequency of bullets and chewing gum (50.0%) and cereal bars (51.0%), 1 to 3 times per week (p=0.004, p=0.029, respectively). There was also a higher frequency of consumption of processed and ultraprocessed foods such as pizza (73.5%, p0.001), refrigerant (58.8%, p=0.036) and stuffed biscuit (58.8%, p=0.008) between 1 to 3 times a week in public school compared to private school. Consumption of packet juice (p=0.013) was reported not to be consumed by the majority of private school students compared to public school. Conclusion: The data found evidenced an expressive consumption of processed and ultraprocessed foods by the adolescents of both schools, highlighting foods with high sugar and sodium content.Keywords: Food Habits.
