The COVID-19 pandemic showed an impact mainly on the health of people and the economy of households. The levels of food security in the world’s households, especially in Mexico, have decreased. When people do not have food security, their health is compromised and they have financial problems; on the other hand, environmental deterioration has a link with food security. The purpose of this review is to analysis of the current situation in Mexico of food security, environmental health and economy, the main lessons learned in these areas and their proposals integrating public policies. A review was carried out in the main databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, CAB Abstracts y PAIS Index) with the following keywords and according to the MeSH terms: Food security, food insecurity, environmental health, public policies, environmental, production, integrating the word COVID-19 in English and Spanish. Only 44.5% of Mexican households presented food security. For food insecurity, 22.6% had moderate and severe food insecurity, while 32.9% had mild insecurity. Food insecurity and the health impacts of environmental origin (waste management during the coronavirus pandemic, water contaminated by bacteria, viruses, and toxins; air pollution) generates impacts on economic activity by not offering food that meets health regulations. Without the application of cost-effective measures and interventions for the prevention and control of patients with obesity, the direct costs for 2023 will amount to 9 million dollars, which worsens the household economy. Despite having laws and policies on the right to food, a healthy environment (water), and opportunities for economic growth, these human rights are not fulfilled. The conclusion is that it is necessary to use a health and agroecological model to promote public policies (health, environment, and economy) that aims to prevent the discussed issues, with multidisciplinary and intersectoral interventions (government, academia, researchers, civil society organizations, industry, and population). This upholds the human right that all people should enjoy an adequate, healthy environment and have access to high-quality food.

In Mexico, it is estimated that due to the economic system the overexploitation of natural resources, environmental impacts and health have been generated, with high rates of overweight and obesity. This review analyzes the impacts on food safety, environmental health, and the economy in Mexico before and during the COVID-19 contingency. Derived from the analysis, among the lessons learned we can include: the health contingency due to COVID-19 had negative repercussions on food security, environmental health and the economy, which require the promotion of public policies (health, environment and economy) and migrate to a health prevention system and an agroecological model, which includes multidisciplinary and intersectoral interventions (government, academia, researchers, civil society organizations, business groups and citizens themselves) to reform and enforce the right to enjoy adequate food and a healthy environment. The contingency due to COVID19 has shown us that this must go from an ideology to being a reality and the lessons learned will have to focus on promoting an innovative and ethical culture of generating an economy, with a gender balance, resilience to climate change, management transparent technology and a priority in health and this will lead to progress in the food security of the population.

Currently the world is facing a viral contingency that has exposed the vulnerability in which the human being is in the face of the alarming statistics of obesity at all ages, increasing the numbers of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer mainly. But not only health has suffered a deterioration worldwide but also the environment with impacts on the availability and quality of water, air pollution and soil deterioration. In México, the food culture has undergone changes derived from greater accessibility to industrialized foods, less physical activity, stress, replacement of consumption and the use of local foods. Currently in Mexico actions are being implemented to rescue agroecology, gastronomy, and food culture. Therefore, this chapter will have the purpose of integrating a historical, ecological and health impacts analysis with what food means and its source or origin for people.

Worldwide, cervical cancer was the fourth leading cause of cancer death among women, while in Mexico was the second cause (5.28%). Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy have a high risk of malnutrition secondary to the disease and treatment, affects the patient’s overall, with adverse effects on gastrointestinal symptoms. These use affects the medical therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the benefits on individualized nutritional therapy on decrease weight loss and gastrointestinal adverse effects and to consider these outcomes in pharmacology research, especially in repurposing drugs. We conducted a longitudinal design with two comparation groups with medical diagnosis of cervical cancer and received radiotherapy weekly, 1) the intervention group (nutritional intervention and counseling -INC-) with 20 participants and 2) control group (retrospective cohort -CG-) with 9 participants. Weekly body composition, dietary intake, adverse effects (gastrointestinal symptoms), glucose, hemoglobin, and blood pressure were analyzed during 4 to 5 weeks. Both groups had weight loss weekly (p = 0.013 and p = 0.043 respectively) but the CG vs INC presented loss fat-free mass ≥500g in 67 and of 37% respectively. By the end of the intervention a 25% of the INC group had <10 g/dL of hemoglobin vs 60% for the CG. To compare the dietary intake of vitamins (A and folic acid), fiber (p = 0.006), iron (p = 0.03) and energy (mainly carbohydrates) (p = 0.04) were according to the recommendations in INC group (p>0.05). The number needed to treat was 4 (95% CI, 2 to 13). The nutritional intervention and counseling weekly during radiotherapy in cervical cancer to maintain/improve muscle mass, hemoglobin, and dietary intake above 70% of the recommendations for INC group compared to the evidence. Adequate nutritional status was maintained and decrease the rate of complications, mainly gastrointestinal symptoms, in INC group. The efficacy of drug repurposing can improve through individualized nutritional therapy for preventing adverse effects of radiotherapy in patients with cervical cancer.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the nutrients and antioxidant compounds of three mixtures based on leaves of Portulaca oleracea L. (P), Amaranthus hybridus L. (A) and Chenopodium berlandieri L. (C). A mixtures design was made of which 10 combinations were obtained and three of the best mixtures were selected to analysis: OP1 (P+C), OP2 (P+A) and OP3 (C+A). A macronutrient, micronutrient analysis and a HPLC profile of phenolic compounds and amino acids were performed; in addition, in vitro antioxidant activity was measured by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays. Results showed that OP1 has a greater content of phenolic compounds, as evidenced by increases in antioxidant activity. Proximal chemical analysis showed that OP3 has a higher protein content and dietary fiber. The main phenolic compound present was phloridzin in OP1 and OP3; on the other hand, the amino acids lysine and glutamic acid were present at high concentrations in the three mixtures. These results showed that the OP1 mixture has the best antioxidant and nutritional properties; therefore, it has the potential to be included as an ingredient in food systems or nutraceutical and biomedical applications.

Exposure to environmental toxins in water, soil and air are increasing with health effects, mainly in older ages and physiological states (childhood and pregnancy). The role of the microbiota has been widely studied with effects on the maintenance of health but this is only possible with a diet that promotes it. The traditional Mexican diet is rich in fiber, which has prebiotic effects and has found a higher excretion of arsenic and fluoride in adolescents who maintained a diet high in fiber derived from traditional foods. After several descriptive studies in the state of Guanajuato, since 2004, first with arsenic in drinking water in population of several communities, in 2015, it is achieved through an intervention study with a supplementation of several vitamins and minerals in population adolescent, a greater urinary arsenic and fluoride excretion, as well as a greater consumption of traditional foods such as beans, bananas, orange and quelites. Food is key to maintain a function of the microbiota, so its review and study should be encouraged.

Quelites are Mexican wild plants, reported as excellent sources of nutritional compounds such as amino acids (serine, glycine, and cysteine), minerals (Mg, Fe, and Zn), and phytochemicals, as phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid) and flavonoids (phloridzin and naringenin); on the other hand, high biological activity has been shown in these compounds. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of a supplementation with two endemic quelites of Mexico (Chenopodium berlandieri L. and Portulaca Oleracea L.); in addition to supplementation, a nutritional intervention was performed; the biomarkers of hemoglobin (Hb), urinary malondialdehyde (UMDA), and urinary arsenic (UAs) were measured in adolescents exposed to arsenic. A clinical intervention study was conducted in 27 adolescents ages 11 to 12 years for 4 weeks. Weekly anthropometric and dietary evaluations were carried out, as well as the concentration of Hb; the UMDA and UAs were performed by plate-based colorimetric measurement and atomic absorption spectrophotometry with the hydrides generation system, respectively. The results showed that UMDA concentrations had a significant improvement in the supplemented group (SG) vs. control group (CG) (SG = 1.59 ± 0.89 µM/g creatinine vs. CG = 2.90 ± 0.56 µM/g creatinine) in the second week of intervention; on the other hand, the supplemented group showed an increase in Hb levels (15.12 ± 0.99 g/dL) in the same week; finally after the second week, an increase in UAs levels was observed significantly compared to the baseline value (Baseline: 56.85; Week 2: 2.02 µg/g creatinine). Therefore, the results show that the mixture of quelites (a rich source of phytochemicals and nutrients) improved hemoglobin and UMDA levels, and urinary arsenic excretion from the second week in the exposed population.

Introduction:: The prevalence of leukemia in children aged under 19 years continues to increase. Nutritional and environmental factors have been described as causes of their development, and maternal breastfeeding, birth weight, exposure to cow’s milk or to contaminants before 1 year of age, and smoking have been studied. Objective:: To analyze the main nutritional and environmental risk factors in children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in a public hospital in Guanajuato, Mexico. Methods:: Analytical and cross-sectional study on 30 children under 18 years of age, with a confirmed diagnosis of ALL in a public hospital in Guanajuato, Mexico. With the signed informed consent of the children’s parents, a questionnaire was applied that collected and in which nutritional risk factors (weeks of gestation and birth weight, breastfeeding, exposure to cow’s milk) and environmental factors (smoking and exposure to arsenic) were evaluated. The frequencies and Odds Ratios (OR) of the main nutritional and environmental risk factors were obtained. Results:: Mean age was 8 ± 4 years with 38 ± 1 weeks of gestation, with a birth weight of 3,200 g (range, 2,500-4,800 g). Fifty percent of the children consumed cow’s milk during their first year of life (40% before 6 months of age); 33.3% received maternal milk for ≤6 months and 63% of the parents had a positive smoking habit, with 66.6% of the participants living in cities with arsenic levels falling outside of the norm. Conclusion:: The main nutritional and environmental risk factors found were early complementary feeding, cow’s milk prior to 1 year of age, a duration of breastfeeding of fewer than 6 months, birth weight of >3,500 g, a positive smoking habit in the children’s parents, as well as exposure to arsenic in drinking water. Identification of these risk factors could constitute an input for integrating novel prevention alternatives and the nutritional management of leukemia.

Sólo un 30% de los hogares en México, presentan seguridad alimentaria, es decir, un gran porcentaje de los hogares y por ende de la población no satisfacen las necesidades básicas diarias de macro y micronutrimentos. Los quelites, que se definen como plantas silvestres comestibles (hojas, tallos y flores) son una fuente accesible, continua, económica y adecuada de nutrimentos. Sin embargo, su consumo ha disminuido por modificaciones en las preferencias alimentarias, derivadas de los cambios en estilos de vida. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue valorizar a los quelites como fuente de alimento. Los quelites, aportan proteínas, aminoácidos, minerales (Ca, Mg, Zn), vitaminas (E, C) y fibra. Además, son una excelente fuente de compuestos bioactivos, como ácidos fenólicos (ácido cafeico, ferúlico) y flavonoides (quercetina, kaempferol, espinacetina), carotenoides, ácido α-linolénico y betalainas, que presentan elevada actividad antioxidante. Su consumo habitual se ha relacionado con beneficios a la salud, tales como efectos antitumorales, antihiperlipidémicos y antidiabéticos. Los quelites, además de estar disponibles en forma silvestre, forman parte de las tradiciones culinarias de México, incorporados de forma cruda y cocida en los platillos regionales. Por lo tanto, la revalorización y reincorporación de los quelites en la dieta, puede coadyuvar a cubrir las necesidades nutrimentales, en poblaciones con poco acceso o inseguridad alimentaria, además de contribuir a proporcionar efectos adicionales a través de sus compuestos bioactivos.

There are currently few evidence about resistance training as a treatment for sarcopenia in the nursing home setting. To evaluate the effect of a resistance training program on the sarcopenia and functionality of the elderly living in a nursing home. A blinded longitudinal intervention study conducted in elderly people living in a nursing home from August to November 2016. Participants included a convenience sample of 19 older adults. We prescribed a resistance exercise program three times a week for 12 weeks. The scheme was two to three sets with eight to 15 repetitions per exercise. The primary outcome was an increase in muscle strength and an improvement in physical performance of the elderly people living in nursing homes. 19 older adults between 77.7 ± 8.9 years old, completed the 12 week resistance exercise program achieving a significant increase in muscle strength to 5.7 Kg (p = 0.0001) as well as nutritional intake for the first four weeks (p = 0.001); we found an improvement in physical performance (p = 0.0001) in balance (p = 0.0001), chair stand (p = 0.036) and gait speed (p = 0.0001). Of the 47.4% that reached sarcopenia degree, in the end it was 33.3%. A relationship with nutritional status (p = 0.004) and age (p = 0.019) was found with the initial and final handgrip strength (p = 0.041). The resistance training program improves the functionality (muscle strength and physical performance), with the benefit of the decrease in severe sarcopenia.

En un mundo cada vez más tecnológico e interconectado, pero también más violento, esquilmado y contaminado, la salud medioambiental pediátrica (SMAP) constituye una de las mejores contribuciones para mejorar la salud global. Pocas zonas del planeta tienen una afinidad tan alta en valores e intereses como la Unión Europea (UE), América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Las inversiones y actuaciones de la SMAP en periodos pre y posnatales durante las dos primeras décadas de vida generarán incontables beneficios en la salud y en el bienestar general en todas las épocas posteriores de la vida. Detectar, disminuir o eliminar los contaminantes físicos, químicos, biológicos y sociales es una de las principales misiones y acciones de la SMAP. En este artículo especial describimos, actualizamos y divulgamos las amenazas, los desafíos y las oportunidades de cooperación en la SMAP entre los profesionales biosanitarios y restantes sectores sociales implicados de la UE y de ALC. Surgen nuevos perfiles profesionales, estructuras de conocimiento y arquitecturas para el compromiso. Se requerirán liderazgos valientes, nuevos recursos sustanciales, amplios cambios sociales y la necesaria colaboración entre ambas regiones para mejorar la salud de las generaciones presentes y futuras. In a world that is increasingly technological and interconnected, but also more violent, overexploited and polluted, Paediatric Environmental Health (PEH) is one of the best contributions to improve global health. Few areas of the planet have a high affinity with common values and interests, such as the European Union (EU), Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The investments and actions of the PEH in pre- and postnatal periods during the first two decades of life will generate countless benefits in the health and well-being during the human life span. Detecting, reducing, or eliminating physical, chemical, biological and social pollutants is one of the main missions and actions of the PEH. In this special article, an update review is presented on the threats, challenges and cooperation opportunities in PEH among bio-health professionals and other social sectors involved, from the EU and LAC. New professional profiles, knowledge structures and architectures for engagement emerge. Courageous leaderships, new substantial resources, broad social changes, and the necessary collaboration between the two regions will be required to improve the health of present and future generations.

The aim of this work was the characterization of three endemic plant species [quelite cenizo and quintonil (quelites), and purslane], from Mexico, in terms of their physicochemical, nutritional and antioxidant properties. These species are highly used by rural populations in their local dishes. Nevertheless, scarce information exists about their nutritional and functional properties. The experimental included physicochemical properties, nutrimental composition, qualitative and quantitative analysis of antioxidants by HPLC. The results showed that purslane was the sample with the highest concentration of total carotenoids (2.85 mg/g DW), and with the highest antioxidant activity by DPPH and FRAP methods. Quelite cenizo and purslane displayed similar values for antioxidant activity by ABTS method, nevertheless, the former showed higher values for total phenolics (10.24 mg GAE/g DW) and flavonoids (17.57 mg QE/g DW) content than the latter. Finally, quintonil showed similar results for total chlorophyll (70.50 mg/g DW) and protein (3.65 g/100 g FW) to those found in quelite cenizo. The contents of Fe, Ca, and Mg were higher in quintonil, meanwhile the contents of P, K and Zn were higher in quelite cenizo. The analysis by HPLC also showed the presence of ferulic, and chlorogenic acids as the most abundant phenolic acids, meanwhile rutin and phloridzin were the main flavonoids in the quelites, displaying higher contents than in the purslane. Therefore, it can be assumed that these samples possess high nutritional quality and could be considered for their use in strategies to improve food security in rural populations.

Introducción: La adecuada nutrición en la adolescencia es de importancia para su crecimiento y desarrollo. Existen factores ambientales que no pueden evitarse, como la exposición a metales pesados a través de fuentes naturales como el agua. El arsénico es un metaloide que causa daños a la salud (alteraciones del estado nutricio, diabetes, cáncer) y ha sido encontrado en concentraciones superiores a las permitidas en el agua de consumo. Objetivo: Medir el efecto de una suplementación multivitamínica sobre el estado nutricio y la excreción urinaria de arsénico en adolescentes expuestos a este metal a través de agua de consumo. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de intervención en 45 adolescentes, expuestos a arsénico en agua de consumo, a quienes se dio un suplemento multivitamínico diariamente, durante cuatro semanas. De forma semanal se evaluó el estado nutricio, y los niveles de arsénico en orina y en agua de consumo. Resultados: En la población de estudio se observó que el consumo nutrimental basal fue bajo para proteínas, fibra, ácido fólico, vitamina B2, B6, B12, E, C, selenio y hierro, incrementando su consumo a través del suplemento durante la intervención y con un aumento de aproximadamente de 1g/dL de hemoglobina en todos los participantes. Así mismo, al final de la intervención presentaron incremento de masa libre de grasa y disminución en el porcentaje de grasa corporal. Por otro lado, en cuanto a la excreción urinaria de arsénico se observó mayor eliminación de este metal [35.91 µg/g Cr (IC 95%=23.2-74.8 µg/g Cr)] desde la primera semana de intervención, la cual fue estadísticamente significativa en comparación con los niveles basales de arsénico urinario [43.2 µg/g Cr (IC95%=30.8-117.6 µg/g Cr) (p
