El Aragon Health Research Institute (IIS Aragon) organized with the collaboration of Ibercaja Foundation the 4th Cardiovascular Health Promotion Conference.
The sessions will be taught in two sessions, today we focus on the nutrition and health and next May 27th we will do it in the Physical activity and health.
19:XNUMX p.m.- «Healthy and sustainable diet», taught by the Dr. Luis A. Moreno Aznar, professor of physiatry and nursing at the University of Zaragoza. Principal researcher of the GENUD group of the Aragón Health Research Institute (IIS Aragón). Researcher Center for Biomedical Research in Obesity Network (CIBEROBN).
Healthy and sustainable diets are those dietary patterns that promote all dimensions of the health of individuals. Activities related to food systems are responsible for 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, 70% of water use, which contributes to climate changes. Dietary patterns that are based on plant-based foods with moderate consumption of meat and dairy products are those that provide the best compromise between health effects and the lowest environmental impact. Among them, the Mediterranean Diet stands out. 19.30:XNUMX p.m.- «"Protein consumption as a source of health", taught by the Dr. Rocío Mateo Gállego, professor and coordinator of the Degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Zaragoza. She is a researcher at the Aragón Health Research Institute (IIS Aragón).
In recent decades, the scientific evidence have shown that protein consumption has physiological importance that goes beyond classically known functions, such as the composition of body structures. Consuming a sufficient quantity and quality of protein can contribute to better blood glucose management, maintaining better muscle mass or having normal blood pressure numbers, among others.
20 p.m.- «How much salt does my body need? given by Dr. Ignacio Giménez López, professor at the University of Zaragoza. Senior researcher at the Aragonese Institute of Health Sciences (IACS). We depend on the common salt (sodium chloride) to maintain blood pressure necessary to carry blood to our organs. But too much salt can cause hypertension. And there is increasing evidence of the pro-inflammatory role of sodium and its relationship with various diseases. The body's natural tendency to retain salt and its abundance in the diet make it easy for it to accumulate, putting our health at risk.
20.30:XNUMX p.m.- Colloquium.

Dr. Miguel A. Guerrero Casedas. Responsible for the Ibercaja Prevention Service.
Dr. Belén Moreno Franco. Professor of Preventive Medicine and Public Health at the University of Zaragoza and Researcher at the Aragón Health Research Institute (IIS Aragón).
