Abstract

Obesity is a multifaceted, long-term condition associated with a range of serious consequences, including an increased risk of non-communicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. This article discusses the multiple factors that can influence an individual’s dietary choices. It describes the different effects of diet on metabolism and the gut microbiome between individuals, and explains the benefits of a personalised approach to nutrition. The article also identifies foods that nurses and other healthcare professionals can promote to patients and service users that reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases and can support planetary health.
