The train trip to Bremen gives me a good opportunity to digest (pun intended, sorry) the excellent keynote by @juttamata on why we eat what we eat #EHPS2023
Social aspects play a huge role, and we’ve only just begun to properly study real-life settings. There will be a large role to play for sensor-driven and AI-based approaches, such as the ones we are currently developing at OnePlanet Research Centre https://www.oneplanetresearch.nl/thema/preventive-health-nutrition-behaviour/
With the help of new technologies, OnePlanet Research Center works on improving quality of life and reducing the pressure on and costs in healthcare. OnePlanet Research Center is focussing on preventive health because of the major influence of nutrition on our health.
Time to brave the heat and take the train to Bremen for my in-person second half of #EHPS2023!
I planned to watch the keynote on train wifi, but that mythical creature is not around, so I am going to deplete my mobile data plan right until I reach the German border, where all mobile coverage ceases
(Like the famous joke goes: “Warum kann Spidermann nicht in Deutschland wohnen? - Kein Netz…”)
"Stressed is Desserts spelled backwards" is not the only thing I learned in a strong session on stress and snacking at #EHPS2023
Some key takes:
– Stress ⬆️ our intention-behaviour gap in snacking (rather than affecting snacking behaviour directly)
– Latent emotional eating is a thing
– Stress affects different food categories differently
– Interpersonal stress: snacking ⬆️
– Work-related stress: snacking ⬇️
– All measurements were self-report, which makes measuring outcomes difficult
Wohoo .. I am especially excited about this symposium about the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology at #ehps2023
