Despite the evidence that actions such as changing diet have almost immediate effects on our health, nutrition is not a domain well studied or discussed by clinicians; at least, seldom with their patients. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, nutrition-related health conditions or poor nutritional intake are well extended, even in developed countries. This means that only about 12% of the people who need nutrition guidance search counselling in a nutrition clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the clients of a nutrition clinic are interested on losing weight not only due to esthetic reasons by also due to health problems. As it is well-known, overweight increases the risk of suffering many diseases, such as, an increased risk of hypertension, cholesterol problems and diabetes.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Other patients come to a nutrition clinic because they already have a disease and they need an especial diet<\/a>, as in the case of high-risk patients with diabetes, perlipidemia or CVD. There is also a portion of patients that have survived dangerous diseases and have a different perception of the value of health and the importance of diet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Global Burden of Disease Study, the largest study on diseases, accidents and life expectancy conducted to date, showed that diet is the risk factor that causes more deaths and disabilities in the developed world. This type of studies help to expand the message and more and more people, each day, are interested in following a healthy diet.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this sense, everything points to an increase in the demand of dietetics and nutrition counselors. In the same sense, nutrition clinics will be demanding more medical translations.<\/span><\/p>\n
