Welcome to the 26th WONCA Europe Virtual Conference Programme Scheduling

Abstract Body

Background

Ageing, post-partum, hypothyroidism, menopause and other hormonal changes, weight gain, and hence the long run of fad diet failures and unstructured exercise attempts, is the path of millions of patients who come to GP consultations and to whom we often cannot give quality and scientific guidance. How many times a day should we eat? Do we have to eat less fat to lose weight? What about carbohydrates? Should we eat before or after exercise? Is cholesterol so bad? Are light products healthy? Is the vegan diet safe and beneficial for high-performance exercises? Is intermittent fasting effective? Does the KETO diet work?

Aim and learning objectives:

Speaking of exercise and nutrition, patients and doctors frequently follow the myths, which often contradict what science says. We want to make the scientific reality visible, understandable and clear.

Methods and timetable

We propose a nutrition workshop about different exercise/food myths and doubts using "gaming" learning techniques. These techniques are a teaching strategy that aims to make learning more attractive and stimulating through play.

This 90-minutes activity will be dynamized by a mix of Trivial and the Goose Game, created by us specifically for this workshop to face relevant aspects of nutrition, hormonal changes, ageing and exercise, applicable in the PC consultation and our personal life.

Results

We hope that we can all learn by playing and enrich our knowledge about issues of so great importance to us and our patients, always focusing on the scientific evidence and, of course … have fun.
