Malnutrition is caused by an unbalanced diet that lacks or has an excess of certain nutrients. There are two types: undernutrition, which is a deficiency in one or more nutrients, and overnutrition, which is overeating or excessive intake of specific nutrients. Malnutrition can lead to diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory problems. It is important to practice good eating habits like eating a variety of nutritious foods according to individual requirements and avoiding junk and fast foods in order to maintain a balanced diet and prevent malnutrition.
