Question

causes of malnutration,how to prevent,

Answer 1

Malnutrition is the state in which your body is not getting all the nutrients it needs. Someone who is malnourished may not be getting enough to eat, or may be eating unhealthful foods.

You don't say where you live, but the typical American diet is low in nutrients because too many Americans eat junk food, fast food and sodas. Prevention? Look at the food pyramid. Eat lots of whole grains, fruits and veggies; cut way back on meats, fats, sugar and salt. Avoid sodas and snack foods that contain empty calories with no nutrients. And take a multivitamin pill daily.
