- Future diets: Artificial intelligence to personalize nutrition
- BreathTech technology: Determining optimal diets through smartphone breath analysis
- Virtual reality and augmented reality: Transforming food experiences and preferences
It is proposed that breathing on a smartphone could help determine what is healthful, and that takeaways food could be virtually sampled before being ordered.
A report predicts that within the next 20 years, we will be consuming “hyper-personalized” diets that are “completely tailored to your specific nutritional needs.”
It is also proposed that in the future, artificial intelligence will fuel diets that are tailored to a person’s unique physiology.
According to a report commissioned by Deliveroo, a technology dubbed BreathTech could be developed to provide “a deep level of insight” into the optimal diet.
Diets tailored to an individual’s physiology would be powered by artificial intelligence (AI), and an AI “buddy” would help automate and customize what you consume.
Another suggestion is that virtual and augmented reality could be used to convince individuals who avoid vegetables that they are consuming chocolate or sweets.
If a person desired to reduce their alcohol intake, “wine” cordials that imitate the taste and flavor profile of actual wine could be introduced.
Amaranth, fonio, sorghum, teff, Khorasan, einkorn, and emmer are predicted to become mainstream alternatives to maize and maize by 2040.
“Edible beauty” products, which could include anti-aging ice cream and the opportunity to dine on hormone-balancing and dopamine-inducing menus, are another predicted trend.
The report, titled Snack to the Future, also envisions virtual reality dinner parties, which would enable consumers to construct their dream scenarios, possibly involving celebrities.
