Malnutrition
Malnutrition is a condition that results from eating a diet in which nutrients are either not enough or are too much such that the diet causes health problems. . Malnutrition remains a critical global health challenge, affecting millions of individuals across all age groups, particularly in developing countries. It encompasses both undernutrition, where individuals lack essential nutrients and calories for proper growth and development, and overnutrition, characterized by excessive intake of unhealthy foods leading to obesity and related diseases. Undernutrition, often prevalent in impoverished regions, can stunt physical and cognitive development in children, weaken immune systems, and increase susceptibility to infections. It is a complex issue influenced by factors such as poverty, inadequate access to nutritious food, lack of education about dietary needs, and environmental conditions, Conversely, overnutrition, prevalent in many developed nations, contributes to a different set of health challenges, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain cancers. This form of malnutrition often results from diets high in processed foods, sugars, and fats, coupled with sedentary lifestyles. Addressing malnutrition requires multifaceted approaches, including improving access to nutritious foods, promoting education on balanced diets, enhancing healthcare infrastructure, and addressing socio-economic disparities that limit individuals' ability to secure adequate nutrition. Global efforts are crucial in combating malnutrition to ensure healthy lives and well-being for all individuals worldwide.
