Good nutrition plays a crucial role in overall health and development, positively impacting infant, child, and maternal well-being, strengthening immune systems, promoting safer pregnancy and childbirth, reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular issues, and enhancing longevity.
Proper nutrition improves learning abilities in children and enhances productivity in individuals, enabling them to escape the cycles of poverty and hunger gradually.
Malnutrition, in all its forms, poses significant health risks. Currently, the world faces a dual burden of malnutrition, including both undernutrition and overweight, particularly prevalent in low- and middle-income nations. Various forms of malnutrition exist, such as
- undernutrition (wasting or stunting),
- insufficient vitamin or mineral intake,
- overweight,
- obesity, and
- diet-related noncommunicable diseases.
The consequences of
- global malnutrition,
- encompassing developmental,
- economic,
- social, and
- medical impacts, are
- severe and
- enduring for individuals, families, communities, and countries.
