Malnutrition

Anybody who does not eat enough body-building and energy food because he does not have enough money or because lack of knowledge in nutrias food or because of any illness is said to be poorly nourished or malnourished. He suffers from malnutrition.
If we are not eat well or we are unable to give the required protein, vitamins, minerals, fat etc. to body it will cause lots of health and mental related problems
Malnutrition is the most common cause of the following health problems:
In children:
• Unable to think properly, slow talking and walking.
• Night blindness, dryness of eyes, blindness
• Unable to grow and gain weight us per age.
• common illness and infection that last longer, are more severe, and more often cause of death,
• swelling of feet, face and hands, often with sores or marks on the skin
• sadness, lack of energy, weakness,
• swollen bellies, thin arms and legs, dry skin

In anyone:
• weakness and tiredness
• loss of appetite
• Anemia
• Sores in the corners of mouth
• Hurting or sore tongue
• Burning or lack of sensation of the feet.

Maulnutrion may be the direct cause of the health problems just listed. But in addition poor nutrition weakens the body’s ability to resist and fight all kinds of diseases, especially infection:
• Poor nourished child more expected to get diarrhea and it causes to death.
• Tuberculosis is more common and gets worse rapidly in those who are malnourished(not only children adults also effected with Tuberculosis due to malnutrition)
• Even minor problem like the common cold are often worse and last longer , or lead to pneumonia more often in person who are poorly nourished.

So, these are the causes of malnutrition, then how to recognize malnutrition in my next post I’m going to explain this.


Take care...
