Is Voluntary Malnutrition Real?
October 23, 2020
Malnutrition occurs when a human body is deprived of the right balance of nutrients necessary for their health. You must think about why we are telling you about this. Everyone knows this, right? Let’s review it together, shall we?
Right now, the condition is that many people don’t have the means to provide themselves and their family with a balanced diet, but are those the only ones who are malnourished? Sadly the answer is no.
Voluntary Malnutrition is very real and occurs out of sheer unawareness and maybe even a bit of ignorance. Like any villain, it has many forms.
Kids, the right dinner is ready!
The first one is undernutrition. It comes in four subforms: wasting, stunting, underweight, and deficiencies in vitamins and minerals. Children are more vulnerable to this form, and in this day and age where kids are attracted to everything sweet, parents need to set a good example for them.
I’m not skinny; hence I’m not malnourished.
Think twice before you say this sentence. The second form is overweight and obesity.
People with high fat and sugar intake have this form of Malnutrition. Their body also needs vitamins, minerals, starch, and protein to lead a healthy life.
The devil in disguise.
Diet-based non-communicable diseases don’t have visible physical implications. Still, they can cause many deadly diseases (heart problems, diabetes, blood pressure, etc.).
All this can be avoided, but people are blissfully unaware. Let’s take an example. How much protein does a person need? I am sure there will be different answers coming to your mind. But that’s why we are here, right?
You need 0.8 gm of protein per kg of your weight. Don’t worry, you won’t have to waste your time searching on the internet, just go through the below chart and voila! You have your protein diet.
And don’t worry, you will find a part of your diet is right here. Milkmor milk and paneer are high in protein and calcium and play a vital role in your diet. Take a step towards nourishment and subscribe to our milk and paneer. And remember, ignorance is not bliss.
