Tag: Nutritional imbalances

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malnutrition—including undernutrition, micronutrient-related malnutrition, and obesity—affects billions of people worldwide. Nutritional imbalances, more broadly defined, occur when the body receives too few or too many nutrients, disrupting normal physiological function. This can manifest in subtle symptoms or more severe health complications affecting overall well-being.

According to the World Health Organization, every country in the world is affected by one or more forms of malnutrition. The comprehensive definition of malnutrition includes deficiencies, imbalances, and excesses of nutrients, highlighting that the condition is far more complex than just a lack of food.
