Communication of Science to Society:
Programa Aliméntate Sano (www.alimentatesano.cl) and Programa Mi Fitbook (www.mifitbook.cl): websites which objective is to promote healthy eating habits based on the Mediterranean dietary pattern and the development of psychological well-being for the prevention of chronic diseases. Both websites have 2 main sections: 1) Education on healthy lifestyles (Mediterranean diet) for the prevention of chronic diseases, and 2) Self-assessment and monitoring of lifestyle, well-being and risk of illness through Fitbook, a personal and private online tool. Currently Aliméntate Sano (since 2010) has more than 100,000 registered Chilean adults, and Mi Fitbook (since 2012), aimed at adolescents between 12 and 18 years, has approximately 25,000 registered teenagers who have evaluated their lifestyle and health.
Through these programs, since 2012 I have given 5-10 talks every year to students of schools (public and private) and employees of various companies on Mediterranean food, wellbeing and health, to invite people to register and self-assess their lifestyle and wellbeing at Fitbook
In addition, since 2010, every year we have held press conferences to promote the benefits of the Mediterranean diet and report on the diet and lifestyle of Chileans. In each of these events we have had press coverage (at least in 4 media), interviews in radio programs (at least 3 radios) and interviews for television (CNN, 24 hours, T13, Mega and La Red).
Olive Oil and Health. As part of the CORFO project of the Technological Diffusion Program, during 2017 and 2018 we conducted at least 6 workshops and 2 seminars to the olive oil industry in Chile to learn about the scientific evidence associated with the consumption of virgin olive oil, and train them in sensorial analysis of virgin olive oils, quality and their relationship with health. In total, these seminars and workshops were attended by at least 400 people from the olive oil industry, chefs and health professionals interested in learning more about the benefits of virgin olive oil consumption.
Promotion and dissemination of the Mediterranean Diet see Chile. Our Center, the Center for Molecular Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of the School of Medicine of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, has led the research on the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet and its application in Chile. In this context, in the last 5 years, we have conducted the following seminars with open invitation to the scientific community, health professionals, government authorities and the general public:
