Introduction: The increase in the prevalence of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is closely related to current bad eating and lifestyle habits. Dietary-Nutritional strategies, such as intermittent fasting or high protein diet, could be new treatment options effective and safe in order to improve glycaemic control in people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Insulin resistance is a complication present in subjects with obesity and has been identified as a key factor in the appearance and progression of diabetes mellitus. Numerous studies highlight the benefits of a high-protein diet for both the treatment of obesity and insulin resistance. However, despite these benefits, a high protein diet has been linked to worse metabolic dysfunction, and even worsened insulin resistance. Thanks to studies in metabolomics, it has been postulated that branched-chain amino acids may be mediating these contradictory effects of a high protein intake and its relationship with insulin resistance. This narrative review compiles emerging evidence regarding the paradoxical effect that branched-chain amino acids can have on body homeostasis. Different contexts such as the presence of obesity, dietary patterns, origin of proteins that contain branched chain amino acids, physical exercise, intestinal microbiota, sex as well as genetic load, are variables to take into account to evaluate the role of these amino acids.

This research addresses the analysis of the weight gain of neonates fed with exclusive breastfeeding and mixed breastfeeding in the Neonatal Special Care Unit of the Autlan Regional Hospital. Method: It is a prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive-comparative and experimental investigation, identifying the type of breastfeeding and the modification of body weight from birth to one month of life. The universe is made up of 961 newborns in the institution, 112 correspond to those admitted to the UCEN. The sampling technique was non-probabilistic through the Census, discarding those neonates with hospital stays <5 days, the total sample was 64 children. Results: 59% were male, 41% female. 28% of neonates were exclusively breastfed, 72% mixed breastfeeding. Of the 100% of infants fed EBF, 39% increased their weight, the remaining 61% decreased. Of those with mixed lactation, 48% had a negative modification, 52% had a positive modification with respect to the initial weight. Discussion: Children fed with mixed breastfeeding show greater weight gain, compared to those fed with exclusive breastfeeding. EBF allows normal functional growth and development, fully covering nutritional needs and requirements, providing hormonal and / or nutritional components, protecting and stimulating the newborn's immune system; it also plays a protective role against obesity. In contrast, the dairy formula presents nutritional components in high amounts according to the nutritional requirements of the newborn, which stimulates accelerated weight gain.

Introduction. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause disease in both animals and humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections that can range from the common cold to more serious illnesses such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Methods. Nutritional medical treatment is of the utmost importance, given the high energy and protein needs associated with the energy expenditure that the disease entails, and in the recovery phase, which can be long. An inadequate diet, whether it is associated with overweight or obesity or malnutrition, can significantly influence the evolution of Covid-19. Therefore, patients hospitalized for Covid-19 must be properly nourished.

This research was done in order to provide humans with natural and nutrient-rich products. The objective is the fortification (sensory) of the classic wheat flour with flour from the yellow pitahaya peel, because this fruit is of high nutritional value. In Ecuador there is enormous production of rosemary and basil, however, little consumption, these raw materials were applied a technological process such as dehydration (hot air drying). For the preparation of the biscuit, 3 formulations with different dosages of aromatic herbs were used: (T1, T2, T3) containing T1: 15% HP, 5% A and 5% R; T2: 15% HP, 7% A and 3% R; T3: 15% HP, 3% A and 7% R, where the percentage of the flour of the pitahaya shell is maintained, which changes are the percentages of the flavorings, which is basil and rosemary. The sensory evaluation was performed using a 4-aspect hedonic scale by a panel of 30 untrained evaluators who scored from 1 (I dislike it) to 4 (I like it very much). The properties evaluated are: color, texture, flavor and aroma in the 3 treatments achieved. A (DBCA) completely randomized block design was applied in the 3 treatments and 3 repetitions, with a study of variances and Tukey's test at 5% probability. The results showed that the T2 treatment (15% HP, 7% A and 3% R) has the highest agreement due to the evaluators, for which a microbiological and physical study was carried out.

It is important to consider the participation of parents, especially the role of mothers in the design of sexuality programs for adolescent women.
