What is malnutrition ?

Malnutrition is a condition that occurs when a person's diet does not provide them with the proper amount of nutrients needed for good health and growth. This can result from not consuming enough food, consuming too much of the wrong types of food, or having a medical condition that interferes with the body's ability to absorb nutrients. Malnutrition can lead to a range of health problems, including stunted growth, weakened immune system, and impaired cognitive function.
