Middle-aged women and men who gained 11 to 22 pounds after the age of 20 were up to three times more likely to develop heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and gallstones than those who gained five pounds or less, according to the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Nutrition is essential for proper weight management. A nutritionist can assist in muscle building, toning specific areas, and improving overall fitness. A nutritionist will consider the implications of these factors when developing a plan, creating options that are attainable and sustainable. To achieve a healthier body, a qualified nutritionist will tailor a healthy eating plan to your specific needs and circumstances. More often than not, a nutrition programme will also include exercise regimens and activities.

Furthermore, according to World Health Organization (WHO) data, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 and older were overweight in 2016Over 650 million of these adults were obese. In 2016, 39% of adults aged 18 and up were overweight (39% of men and 40% of women). In 2016, approximately 13% of the world's adult population (11% of men and 15% of women) was obese. Furthermore, the majority of Americans does not eat a healthy diet and are not physically active at the levels required to maintain proper health.

"Nutrition transition" propels the growth of global nutrition & weight management market

Most countries' increasing westernization, urbanization, and mechanization are associated with dietary changes toward high fat, high energy-dense foods and a sedentary lifestyle. Diets high in sugar, fat, and animal products are replacing more traditional diets high in complex carbohydrates and fibre as populations become more urban and incomes rise. Westernized fast foods, soft drinks, and increased meat consumption are displacing ethnic cuisine and distinctive traditional food habits. The homogenization and westernization of the global diet has increased energy density, which is especially problematic for the poor in all countries who are at risk of obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.
