NDIS and Dietetics: Impact with Poor Nutrition and Disabilities

NDIS and Dietetics:  Impact with Poor Nutrition and Disabilities

Poor nutrition can have significant implications for individuals with disabilities. Here's how it can impact the overall outcome:

• Reduced Energy Levels:
  1. Inadequate nutrition can lead to low energy levels, making it more challenging to engage in daily activities and participate in therapy sessions or rehabilitation programs effectively.
• Compromised Immune Function:
  1. Proper nutrition is essential for a robust immune system. Poor nutrition can weaken the immune response, increasing the risk of infections and delaying the healing process.
• Impaired Wound Healing:
  1. Nutritional deficiencies can impair the body's ability to heal wounds, making individuals more susceptible to pressure ulcers or delayed wound closure.
• Muscle Weakness and Loss:
  1. Inadequate intake of protein and essential nutrients can contribute to muscle weakness and loss, affecting mobility, balance, and overall physical function.
• Increased Risk of Chronic Conditions:
  1. Poor nutrition can increase the risk of developing or exacerbating chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. This can further compromise overall health and well-being.
