Everybody has bad eating habits like snacking excessively at work or drinking beer at night. Some common midnight snacks include devil's food cake, cheese, and salami. Poor nutrition can stem from diseases or conditions like celiac disease and lead to deficiencies. Iron deficiency is the most widespread form of malnutrition globally. Deficiencies can cause health issues depending on which nutrients are missing, like vitamin D deficiency drawing calcium from bones and causing fractures. The best way to ensure good nutrition is eating a varied diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats prepared in healthy ways like baking instead of frying.

HABITS

2. BAD NUTRITION HABITS
Everybody has bad
habits, especially when it
comes to eating. Some of us
snack incessantly while we
work. Others are prone to
guzzling a beer or three every
night then crashing out on the
couch. More than a few of us
enjoy midnight snacks usually
delicious junk foods like
devil’s food cake, cheddar
cheese or salami slices.

3. ORIGEN OF NUTRITION
Nutritional discoveries from the
earliest days of history have had a
positive effect on our health and well-
being. The word nutrition itself
means “The process of nourishing or
being nourished, especially the
process by which a living organism
assimilates food and uses it for
growth and replacement of tissues.”

4. CONSEQUENCE OF BAD NUTRITION
Poor nutrition stems from
a number of causes.
According to the website
Kids Health, celiac
disease, lactose
intolerance and cystic
fibrosis can all lead to
malnutrition and
deficiencies of one or
more nutrients. Iron
deficiency is the most
prevalent form of
malnutrition in the world

5. HEALTH EFFECTS
Poor nutrition can cause a variety
of health problems. Symptoms
depend largely on which nutrients
are missing and the severity of the
deficiency. According to the
National Institutes of
Health, vitamin D deficiency
causes the body to leach calcium
from the bones, resulting in
skeletal fractures, pain and
deformity. Because nutrients work
together to produce their
effects, deficiencies in a single
vitamin or mineral can cause
problems with the absorption and
assimilation of others.

6. PREVENTION/SOLUTION
The best way to ensure good nutrition is
by eating a healthful, varied diet. The
American Cancer Society recommends
eating five or more servings of fruits and
vegetables each day. Choose whole grains
over refined white flour, and eat meats
such as poultry or fish instead of
beef, lamb or pork to reduce fat intake.
Preparation methods are also important.
Broiling, poaching and baking are
preferred to frying and charbroiling, which
produce compounds such as heterocyclic
amines that can be harmful in excess.
