Novo, R; Edra, J; Vieito, L; Dias, S. Simões; Lages, M; Guarino, M P; Braga-Pontes, CVegetable consumption among children is below recommended. Given the critical role of vegetable consumption in health promotion, it is essential to identify effective strategies to promote this intake. The Veggies4myHeart project aims to increase vegetable knowledge and consumption in preschool children through nutrition education strategies (NES). Veggies4myHeart is a prospective longitudinal study with childr...

Lages, M; Carmo-Silva, S; Barros, Renata; Guarino, MPObesity is a chronic, complex and multi-factorial condition with an increasing prevalenceworldwide. Irregular eating schedules might be a contributing factor to these numbers throughthe dysregulation of the circadian system. Time-restricted eating (TRE), an approach that limitseating windows, has been studied as a strategy to treat obesity, aligning eating occasions withmetabolic circadian rhythms. This review ...

Linking dietary intake, circadian biomarkers, and clock genes on obesity: A stu...
Lages, M; Barros, Renata; Carmo Silva, S; Guarino, MPBackgroundThe prevalence of obesity continues to rise, and although this is a complex disease, the screening is made simply with the value of the Body Mass Index. This index only considers weight and height, being limited in portraying the multiple existing obesity phenotypes. The characterization of the chronotype and circadian system as an innovative phenotype of a patient's form of obesity is gaining increas...
Metabolic Effects of an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test Compared to the Mixed Meal ...
Lages, M; Barros, Renata; Moreira, Pedro; Guarino, MPThe oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is recommended for assessing abnormalities in glucose homeostasis. Recognised as the gold standard test for diagnosing diabetes, the OGTT provides useful information about glucose tolerance. However, it does not replicate the process of absorption and digestion of complex foods, such as that which occurs with a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT), an alternative that is still...
mHealth Applications to Monitor Lifestyle Behaviors and Circadian Rhythm in Cli...
Rosa, I; Lages, M; Grilo, C; Barros, Renata; Guarino, MPMetabolic diseases are a global rising health burden, mainly due to the deleterious interaction of current lifestyles with the underlying biology of these diseases. Daily habits and behaviors, such as diet, sleep, and physical exercise impact the whole-body circadian system through the synchronization of the peripheral body clocks that contribute to metabolic homeostasis. The disruption of this system may promo...

Braga-Pontes, C; Simões-Dias, S; Lages, M; Guarino, MP; Graça, PedroAbstract Objective: To test the efficacy of three nutrition education strategies on the intake of different vegetables in preschool children. Design: This is an experimental study conducted in four Portuguese preschools. The intervention consisted of 20-min educational sessions, once a week, for 5 weeks, with one of the following randomised educational strategies: Portuguese Food Wheel Guide (control), digital ...
