    It is paramount to emphasize the importance of an adequate nutritional approach, in patients with breast cancer in order to achieve expected results. Patients with this pathology present different complications that affect their treatment, especially when they have metabolic changes that prevent them from complying with nutritional recommendations.

    CONSUMO DE COMIDA ULTRA PROCESADA Y MANIFESTACIÓN DE ENFERMEDADES CRÓNICAS NO TRANSMISIBLES A EDAD TEMPRANA
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2024-09-27) Ponce Campos, Jefferson Alexis; Bustillos Ortiz, Diana Isabel
    Ultra-processed foods, composed of multiple industrial ingredients and additives, are associated with the early development of non-transmissible chronic diseases such as overweight, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. These are determined by genetic, physiological, environmental factors, and inappropriate eating habits. The inappropriate eating habits plays an important role in the choice of these products. Similarly, it´s shown that genes are related in the preference for foods rich in fats, sugars, and salt due to the aim to achieve satiety, which affects individual inclination towards these foods. In that way, these lead to a decrease in the consumption of natural and healthy foods from childhood. On the other hand, food marketing, through strategies that increase accessibility and create a constant presence in everyday environments such as supermarkets and vending machines, promotes the acquisition of these products, especially among young people and children with limited budgets. Thus, this contributes to their excessive consumption of ultra-processed foods from an early age. This study underscores the need to implement educational, regulatory, and awareness measures in order to counteract the growing consumption of ultra-processed foods from childhood. Promoting a balanced and nutritious diet from an early age is crucial to prevent the development of non-transmissible chronic diseases and to promote a healthy lifestyle throughout the life.

    The present study aims to evaluate the impact of the Mediterranean diet on the longevity of individuals over 65 years of age. Through a literature review, studies published between 2018 and 2023 in English and Spanish were analyzed. The search included academic databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, Scielo, and Science Direct, among others. The selected articles explored the direct relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and its benefits for longevity. The results show that the Mediterranean diet, characterized by high consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts, whole grains, olive oil, and fish, is associated with healthy aging. The benefits of thisdietary pattern include reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions that affect quality of life in older adults. Furthermore, the cultural context of the Mediterranean diet is highlighted, where sharing meals in a social environment contributes to emotional and mental well-being, promoting a better quality of life and increased longevity.In conclusion, the Mediterranean diet represents a sustainable and health-promoting dietary pattern that not only provides essential nutrients and antioxidant properties but also fosters overall wellbeing and satisfactory aging.
