Speech on Malnutrition
INTRODUCTION
Good morning, respected principal sir, mam and my dear friends .Today I am going to speak on the topic malnutrition .Malnutrition is a condition where a person is not getting adequate amount of nutrition which includes carbohydrates, proteins vitamins and minerals. It occurs when a person denies to eat healthy food with all the nutrients and shifts to consume un- healthy food which includes junk food and street food. It is a situation where a person enjoys to eat outside or junk food and ignores the importance of nutrients. A person not getting proper food in proper meal timings also suffers from malnutrition. It is very common in poor people and people below poverty line ,because they can’t afford food with all nutrients in it and sometimes even not getting for a whole day. Malnutrition can affect anyone but women, children in special and adolescences are at higher risks. It also includes condition in which a person overeats too much of nutrients ,which results in health problems.
Under nutrition -: Undernutrition is a condition where a person doesn’t get proper food to eat or faces lack of food. Undernutrition includes four terms – wasting, stunting, underweight and deficiency.
Overweight:- Overweight occurs when a person over eats nutrients. Overweight can lead to obesity in which a person gets fat and looks different among their batchmates. It leads to laziness in a person, they find it difficult to running or do any physical activity.
Causes
There are many causes of malnutrition which includes their difficulties to a for proper food, not getting the amount of nutrition which a person needs, busy in work, mental health is not stable. It can also be possible if a person does not want to eat just because it is not what they want to eat. Malnutrition can cause many health problems which includes diabetes, heart diseases, stunted growth etc.
Symptoms
Reduced appetite or capacity to eat, lack or no interest in food and drink, feeling tired and lazy all the time feeling weak and not able to do something, getting a lot of fun for the regularly and taking a long time to recover, bruises or burns taking a long time to heal, poor concentration in anything, feeling cold most of the time even in summers.
Conclusion
Malnutrition obviously is a very common condition nowadays, there are many reasons which includes – increase in the number of junk food, low income, increase in population, low interest in food and drink and many more. This is a very serious problem which can be solved by balanced diet which includes proper amount of all nutrients. People should focus on taking proper diet rather than spending money on non- essential things. People should always try to take out time for eating proper food .Seeing a doctor for this type of condition is the best thing a person can do for their health. At last I just want to say
“HEALTH IS WEALTH”
