“…The way in which each person manages their own health capital throughout their lives, through individual options corresponding to the so-called "lifestyle", is a crucial issue that is at the genesis of individual and collective health (4) . The World Health Organization (WHO) reiterates that health promotion should be more encouraged in the workplace, primarily by encouraging the adoption of healthy eating, physical activity and mental and family health promotion (5)(6)(7)(8)(9) . An unhealthy diet, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and increased alcohol consumption significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer occurrence, loss of healthy life years, leading to premature mortality (5) .…”

Results: It was observed that 54% of the sample did not practice physical exercise, 52% had four or fewer meals a day, 29% were smokers, 51% had insomnia, and 45% had no health surveillance, as well as 51.5% were overweight or obese and 63% had an increased or very increased risk of developing metabolic complications. No significant differences were identified in relation to weight, physical exercise or stress according to sex or age. Conclusion: The results support the need to develop intervention programs with strategies aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles among workers in health institutions, to be comprehensively integrated within the scope of occupational health.

“…A forma como cada pessoa gere o seu próprio capital de saúde ao longo da vida, através de opções individuais correspondentes ao designado "estilo de vida", constitui uma questão crucial que está na gênese da saúde individual e coletiva (4) . A Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) reitera que a promoção de saúde deveria ser mais estimulada no local de trabalho, fundamentalmente através do incentivo à adoção de uma alimentação saudável, prática de atividade física e promoção da saúde mental e familiar (5)(6)(7)(8)(9) . Uma dieta não saudável, tabagismo, estilo de vida sedentário e maior consumo de álcool aumentam significativamente o risco de doenças cardiovasculares, a ocorrência de cancro, a perda de anos de vida saudáveis, propiciando a mortalidade prematura (5) .…”

Increased consumption of whole fruits and physical activity are inversely correlated with energy intake and weight gain. This study aimed to analyze the daily consumption of whole fruits before meals and walking 10 minutes after meals on dietary intake in overweight adults. Twenty-two overweight adults in Surakarta city were randomly divided into two groups: the T1 group ate a combination of five different fruits/day before meals and walking 10 min after meals. The other group only ate a combination of five different fruits/day before meals for 30 days. The average of energy and fat intake in T1 and T2 groups after intervention decreased significantly than that of before intervention (p=0.016 and p=0.019; p=0.002 and p=0.021). In addition, both groups had a higher average of fiber intake after the intervention compared before intervention (p<0.001). In conclusion, consuming whole fruits before meals decreases energy and fat intake and increases fiber intake in overweight adults but walking 10 min after meals does not affect their daily food intake.
