Increasing Worldwide Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart attacks, high cholesterol, and others is expected to stimulate the demand for nutrition consulting services. Chronic conditions are a disease of long-term duration and adversely impact the health of patients, which accelerates the demand for nutrition consultants to offer nutrition plans along with timely analysis of the patient’s health.

• As per the Centres for Diseases Control and Prevention, worldwide, around half of adults are suffering from chronic diseases.

Additionally, the demand for nutrition consulting services is expected to rise with a substantial rise in the obese population worldwide.

• As per the World Health Organization, around one-fourth of the adult population in the world is obese or overweight.

This is due to the lack of exercise and poor eating habits. As a result, the demand for nutrition consultants is increasing worldwide to make dietary changes and efficiently manage the health of the obese population.

Integration of Advanced Technologies by Service Providers

Integration of advanced technologies for diet monitoring and consulting is playing an essential role in health improvement and reducing disease risk. Nutrition consulting enterprises have developed software and apps, and utilize social media platforms that analyze the food habit of individuals, monitor health issues, and suggest appropriate diet plans to users.

• For instance, in April 2019, DNA fit, a leading personalized health & wellness company, introduced the “Health Fit” DNA test that monitors various genetic factors related to an individual’s well-being and offers personalized insights on diet.

The utility of technology has prominently changed the way that nutritionists connect to their clients and has contributed to positive care outcomes. Also, microarray technology and nanotechnology have the potential to enhance nutrition consulting services in the development and delivery of various intervention strategies to improve health and reduce the risk of several chronic diseases.

Health Risks Associated with Nutrition Consulting Services

Dietary assessment is prone to inaccuracies and the instruments provided may not be sufficiently precise to discover qualitative dietary improvements. Additionally, dietary therapies typically have high dropout rates and low compliance since nutrition has a significant impact on a patient's life and is also influenced by personal, economic, psychological, and emotional factors.

Moving on to more clinical settings, nutritional status has been negatively impacted and the danger of malnutrition has been enhanced in conditions where compromised health exists. In clinical situations, nutrition consults by healthcare experts should always adhere to established standards and evidence-based medicine.

To ensure the accuracy of the advice given, nutrition counselling should always be given by specialized and qualified nutrition and dietetics professionals. This is because nutrition can be used as a complementary treatment that may even be harmful in some situations, such as for patients suffering from chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes.

Such factors may risk the life of patients and thereby challenge the utility of nutrition consulting services.
