Guía digital de alimentación saludable y actividad física dirigida a trabajadores universitarios

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis presents a digital guide designed to promote healthy habits among university employees at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. The main objective is to create a tool that encourages good eating habits and physical activity in this group. The guide is based on an exhaustive bibliographic review of two databases: Google and PubMed, resulting in 54 selected documents on healthy eating and physical activity for healthy adults. Structured in two sections, it covers healthy eating and physical activity. The first provides information on the benefits of a balanced diet, food groups, recommended portions, and tips for reducing sugar, salt, and fat. The physical activity section offers details on the benefits of regular activity, along with recommendations and tips for integrating it into the daily lives of university employees. The guide has been validated by experts, who consider it clear, useful, and relevant. The results suggest that this tool can be effective in promoting healthy habits, significantly improving the health, well-being, and job performance of university employees.
