“…In the model proposed for male adolescents, a negative relationship is observed between physical activity and Mediterranean Diet adherence. Very different results have been found by Franco et al [ 42 ]; however, Moschonis et al [ 43 ] establish that inadequate nutritional education on the part of young people leads to a worsening of the dietary pattern. To alleviate this poor training, Ruiz et al [ 44 ] suggest the presence of a greater number of hours of physical education through which young people can be trained from a dual perspective, highlighting the active and healthy aspect of this subject.…”

Currently, there is a global concern with regard to the lifestyles of young people. This study aims to study the association between Mediterranean diet adherence, emotional intelligence and physical activity practice in teenagers in the last cycle of elementary education. In turn, this objective is divided into (a) developing an explanatory model of the practice of physical activity, Mediterranean diet adherence and emotional intelligence; and (b) developing a multi-group model according to the gender of the participants. A descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative study was conducted in a sample of 293 elementary school students (M = 11.45; S.D = 0.31). The instruments used were an ad hoc socio-demographic questionnaire, the Trait Meta Mood Scale-24, the KIDMED questionnaire and the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children. The results show that males show a positive relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and emotional intelligence and between emotional intelligence and physical activity. In contrast, in the case of females, a negative relationship was observed between emotional intelligence and physical activity. In conclusion, it can be seen that gender plays a fundamental role in adolescence, being a key factor influencing an active and healthy lifestyle.

“…Well-trained PCHPs are ideally suited to use their skills to educate the community about their immune system, provide evidence-based advice on self-care through nutritional support and help overcome barriers to changing dietary habits. Nutritional education can help to improve dietary intake 113 and has the potential for a beneficial impact on public health. Nevertheless, there are multiple factors that may impede the involvement of PHCPs in raising awareness and educating the community.…”

The importance of self-care to improve health and social well-being is well recognised. Nevertheless, there remains a need to encourage people to better understand how their body works, and how to keep it healthy. Because of its important role, part of this understanding should be based on why the immune system must be supported. This highly complex system is essential for defending against pathogens, but also for maintaining health throughout the body by preserving homeostasis and integrity. Accordingly, the immune system requires active management for optimal functioning and to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. In addition to regular exercise, healthy sleeping patterns, cultivating mental resilience, adequate nutrition through healthy and diverse dietary habits is key to the daily support of immune function. Diet and the immune system are closely intertwined, and a poor diet will impair immunity and increase the risk of acute and chronic diseases. To help elucidate the roles of primary healthcare providers in supporting individuals to engage in self-care, an international group of experts reviewed the evidence for the roles of the immune system in maintaining health and for nutrition in daily immune support, and discussed implications for population health and clinical practice.

“…One approach that has been successful in addressing eating behaviours among university students is the implementation of nutritional education programmes. Although there are challenges in customising and adapting nutritional education programmes to meet the specific needs of young adults, their implementation is highly important for public health (32) . Through these programmes, students can receive information about healthy eating habits and develop skills to make healthier food choices.…”

University life is a critical period for establishing healthy eating habits and attitudes. However, university students are at risk of developing poor eating habits due to various factors, including economic conditions, academic stress, and lack of information about nutritional concepts. Poor diet quality leads to malnutrition or overnutrition, increasing the risk of preventable diseases. Food environments on university campuses also play a significant role in shaping the dietary habits of students, with the availability of and accessibility to healthy food options being important factors influencing food choices and overall diet quality. Disordered eating habits and body dissatisfaction are prevalent among university students and can lead to eating disorders. Income and living arrangements also influence dietary habits, with low household income and living alone being associated with unhealthy eating habits. This study is a narrative review that aimed to address nutritional issues and eating behaviours, specifically among university students. We investigated the eating behaviours of university students, including their dietary patterns, food choices, and food environments. The objective of this review was to provide insights into the nutritional issues and eating behaviours of university students, with the aim of identifying target areas for intervention to improve the overall health and well-being among college students. University food environments need to be restructured to promote healthy eating, including the availability, accessibility, affordability, and labelling of healthy foods, and policies to limit the availability of unhealthy foods and drinks on campus.
