    Malnutrition is highly prevalent throughout the world and can be caused by poor diet, starvation, medical conditions, vitamin deficiencies, and illness. It occurs when the body does not get enough nutrients and is the largest contributor to disease globally. Malnutrition can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, reduced muscle and fat mass, and learning disabilities in children. While malnutrition can be extremely severe, it can often be treated and resolved with a healthy diet if caught in time. Treating malnutrition simply requires a diet with variety, including fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, lean proteins, low fat dairy, and whole grains. It is important for people to be educated on nutrition and a healthy diet to prevent malnutrition.
