“…Many patients are aware of this connection and turn to their doctors for advice on nutrition and exercise. However, the nutrition-related components of diseases including cancer, obesity, and diabetes are frequently not adequately addressed in actual physician practice [1]. Doctors may lack enough knowledge of fundamental nutrition science facts and awareness of prospective nutrition interventions if they do not feel competent, at ease, or equipped to offer nutrition advice [2].…”

Primary care medical doctor (PHC) have a chance to sustenance the healthy eating behaviors of patients by giving nourishment education. This study aimed to explore the updated evidence concerning physicians' knowledge and practice of nutrition education in healthcare centers in Saudi Arabia. A systematic review was conducted. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, EBSCO, and the Cochrane library. Using Rayyan QCRI, study articles were first screened by title and abstract before a full-text analysis was done. Results: This review included a total of 8 research with participants of both sexes and varying ages. The included studies used a variety of designs, mostly cross-sectional, but they are all legitimate. the main evidence demonstrated by most of the reviewed studies is that primary care physicians have just a reasonable nutrition knowledge and are aware of the only basic nutritional knowledge for providing nutrition care to their patients. Medical students' knowledge, attitudes, and confidence in offering nutritional counselling to patients all showed how inadequate the nutritional programme was. So, Intern physicians and Primary care physicians need to improve their clinical nutrition knowledge, this will allow them to get the most level of nutritional knowledge and skills to provide individuals with the suitable nutritional recommendations and also successfully support patients to enhamce their dietary behaviors and health conditions. PHC physicians should have continuous nutrition educational training programs to ensure the continuous provision of sound nutritional advice to patients and the public leading to a positive impact on public health.

“…The study in India found the effectiveness of a nutrition educational intervention delivered through health services, involving community workers who counseled caregivers regarding the feeding of children (Sharma et al, 2020). Similar to a previous study, the article in the US discusses strategies for health professionals to acquire nutrition counseling skills in medical training and clinical practices (Cepni et al, 2022). Additionally, the study in Ghana observed the nutritional counseling interactions between health workers and caregivers of children under two years, highlighting the role of health workers in providing appropriate nutrition guidance (Nsiah-Asamoah et al, 2019).…”

Professional health workers in community health centers and sub-centers are required to provide nutrition services. However, nowadays not all community health centers and sub-centers have nutritionists, so all health workers need to have strong teamwork to ensure nutrition programs can occur effectively. This study aimed to describe the types of professional health workers and their history of receiving training in nutrition. This study used IFLS (Indonesia Family Life Survey) 2014-15 from the Community Facility Book to address the health worker's experience in nutrition training. The result of this study revealed that medical doctors had more experience in attending the training in nutrition. Even though there was limited training in the last 12 months. This situation might occur due to the limited number of health workers who can join the training or the limited budget to provide training to all health workers. Education about nutrition is essential to all health workers, not only nutritionist because community health center/sub-centers is the closest health services in the community. Preventing the prevalence of stunting and other health-related nutrition problems can be done by educating health workers immediately.

“…Within a clinical setting, patients should be supported in choosing a dietary pattern that fits their needs and preferences. 41,51 Clinicians should allow patients to make informed choices that support them to choose which dietary approach is most suitable for them. At a population level, wider adoption of a culturally appropriate dietary pattern that is higher in plant foods and lower in animal foods can promote health and environmental benefits.…”

“…Future studies assessing health benefits of less strict plant-based diets will be necessary to assess these benefits, especially in a study model limiting additional biases (eg, in twins). Within a clinical setting, patients should be supported in choosing a dietary pattern that fits their needs and preferences . Clinicians should allow patients to make informed choices that support them to choose which dietary approach is most suitable for them.…”

ImportanceIncreasing evidence suggests that, compared with an omnivorous diet, a vegan diet confers potential cardiovascular benefits from improved diet quality (ie, higher consumption of vegetables, legumes, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds).ObjectiveTo compare the effects of a healthy vegan vs healthy omnivorous diet on cardiometabolic measures during an 8-week intervention.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis single-center, population-based randomized clinical trial of 22 pairs of twins (N = 44) randomized participants to a vegan or omnivorous diet (1 twin per diet). Participant enrollment began March 28, 2022, and continued through May 5, 2022. The date of final follow-up data collection was July 20, 2022. This 8-week, open-label, parallel, dietary randomized clinical trial compared the health impact of a vegan diet vs an omnivorous diet in identical twins. Primary analysis included all available data.InterventionTwin pairs were randomized to follow a healthy vegan diet or a healthy omnivorous diet for 8 weeks. Diet-specific meals were provided via a meal delivery service from baseline through week 4, and from weeks 5 to 8 participants prepared their own diet-appropriate meals and snacks.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was difference in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration from baseline to end point (week 8). Secondary outcome measures were changes in cardiometabolic factors (plasma lipids, glucose, and insulin levels and serum trimethylamine N-oxide level), plasma vitamin B12 level, and body weight. Exploratory measures were adherence to study diets, ease or difficulty in following the diets, participant energy levels, and sense of well-being.ResultsA total of 22 pairs (N = 44) of twins (34 [77.3%] female; mean [SD] age, 39.6 [12.7] years; mean [SD] body mass index, 25.9 [4.7]) were enrolled in the study. After 8 weeks, compared with twins randomized to an omnivorous diet, the twins randomized to the vegan diet experienced significant mean (SD) decreases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration (−13.9 [5.8] mg/dL; 95% CI, −25.3 to −2.4 mg/dL), fasting insulin level (−2.9 [1.3] μIU/mL; 95% CI, −5.3 to −0.4 μIU/mL), and body weight (−1.9 [0.7] kg; 95% CI, −3.3 to −0.6 kg).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this randomized clinical trial of the cardiometabolic effects of omnivorous vs vegan diets in identical twins, the healthy vegan diet led to improved cardiometabolic outcomes compared with a healthy omnivorous diet. Clinicians can consider this dietary approach as a healthy alternative for their patients.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05297825
