Malnutrition is a broad term which refers to both under nutrition and over nutrition. Individuals are malnourished, or suffer from under nutrition if their diet does not provide them with adequate calories and protein for maintenance and growth. People are also malnourished, or suffer from over nutrition if they consume too many calories.

Malnutrition harms people both physically and mentally. The more nutrients he or she is missing the more likely it is that person will have problems. Malnutrition harms people both physically and mentally. The more nutrients he or she is missing the more likely it is that person will have problems. Malnutrition increases the risk of infection and infectious disease and moderate malnutrition weakens every part of the immune system. Protein and energy malnutrition and deficiencies of specific micronutrients increase susceptibility to infection. In communities or areas that lack access to safe drinking water, these additional health risks present a critical problem. Lower energy and impaired function of the brain also represent the downward spiral of malnutrition as victims are less able to perform the tasks they need to in order to acquire food, earn an income, or gain an education.

He or she will ask about how you are feeling. Fortunately, many of the harmful effects of malnutrition can be reversed, especially if a person is only mildly malnourished.
