Educational Nutrition Workshops: Impact on Nutritional Status in Organized Living Beneficiaries with Severe Mental Disorders and Their Caregivers.

Background/objectives: Individuals with severe mental disorders often face challenges in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper dietary habits. Educational nutrition workshops, as a form of nutritional intervention, may play an important role in improving their nutritional status. This study aims to assess the impact of nutritional workshops on the dietary habits and nutritional status of individuals with severe mental disorders and their caregivers.

Adherence to Dietary Recommendations in Organized Living Beneficiaries with Severe Mental Disorders and Their Caregivers.

People with severe mental disorders often require special care. Other than institutionalized care, some organizations provide housing options and special care in the form of organized living. Few studies provide a detailed description of nutrient intake in this type of care.

Simulated Gastric and Intestinal Fluid Electrolyte Solutions as an Environment for the Adsorption of Apple Polyphenols onto β-Glucan.

Interactions with dietary fibers in the gastrointestinal tract might affect the potential bioactivities of phenolic compounds. In this study, the interactions between apple phenolic compounds and β-glucan (a dietary fiber) were studied by studying the adsorption process in simulated gastric and intestinal fluid electrolyte solutions. Phenolic compounds were extracted from apples, adsorbed onto β-glucan (2 h, 37 °C, in gastric or intestinal fluid electrolyte solutions), and determined using high performance liquid chromatography.
