    Effectiveness of a Program Based on Telehealth in Nutritional Knowledge and Body Mass Index in Peruvian University Teachers
    BACKGROUND: University teachers, as agents of socialization, are one of the most influential groups in improving public health, and their nutritional knowledge can influence both the eating behavior of students and the family. OBJECTIVE: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of a telehealth program on the level of nutritional knowledge and body mass index (BMI) of university teachers. METHODS: A pre-experimental study was carried out from August to December 2020. A pretest and a posttest were applied. The number of teachers in the initial test was 88 and those included in the final evaluation, 83; and they were selected by nonprobability sampling for convenience. The telehealth-based program lasted 18 weeks and included basic information on nutrition and motivational messages. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data were collected through a predesigned questionnaire before and after the educational program. RESULTS: < .001) before and after the intervention program. CONCLUSION: The telehealth-based intervention improved basic nutritional knowledge levels and BMI. Likewise, the current findings provide evidence on the importance and need to develop future nutritional education programs that comprehensively encompass all study plans for the benefit of the university community.

    Macronutrients and micronutrients in germinated and non-germinated seed flour and moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera L.)
    Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) is a plant highly valued for its content of macronutrients and bioactive elements. The objective of the study was to evaluate the composition of macronutrients and micronutrients of leaf flour, germinated or non-germinated seeds of moringa in the district of La Matanza in the department of Piura, Peru. The proximal analysis revealed that the moringa shoots presented a high protein value on days 2 and 3, with values of 39.25±0.01 g/100 g and 39.26±0.01 g/100 g, respectively. The fat content in the moringa leaf was significantly lower compared to the seed (p≤0.05). The fibre content in the raw seed was higher than the leaf content and the germinated seed (19.95 mg/100 g). The iron and calcium values were higher in the leaves (27.77 mg/100 g) and (1620 mg/100 g), respectively. The results of this study show that both moringa leaves and germinated and non-germinated seeds could significantly provide adequate amounts of protein, fat, fibre, and minerals such as iron and calcium.
