O modo de consumo de frutas in natura prevalece com 59% dos participantes, como a forma preferível de ingestão, tal fato ocorre, pois, das frutas mais consumidas, a banana e a maçã seguem com 99% e 80% do total produzido Research, Society andDevelopment, v. 10, n. 13, e579101321377, 2021 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v10i13.21377 destinado ao consumo in natura e pouco do que se produz é destinado para processamento.…”

Longer duration of exclusive breastfeeding reduces maternal weight retention: results from the CLaB study

“…In both rich and poor countries, women at childbearing age or those who had a pregnancy have shown increased adiposity, so the relation between obesity and the women's reproductive life has become a topic of priority for researchers and public health managers. 1 In obesogenic contexts such as those which prevails in much of the world 2 and also in Brazil, 3 pregnancy has been noticed as a potential risk factor for obesity 4 and chronic-degenerative diseases in women as well as in their children, when they reach adulthood. 5 Excessive gestational weight gain and postpartum weight retention are both nutritional events related to the reproduction which increase the risk of obesity in women, 6 the latter being the focus in the present study.…”
