Some mothers suffer from feeding problems with their children, and malnutrition may lead to health problems that harm the child's health. Learn with us about the types of malnutrition, what is meant by them, and how can you treat them.
There are two types of malnutrition. Hunger is not the only cause of malnutrition. It is possible for a child to suffer from nutritional deficiencies despite eating sufficient amounts of food:
1- Improper nutrition:
It is the failure of the child to obtain the appropriate amount and the basic need of the main nutrients such as proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, in addition to minerals. Deficiency of these nutrients may affect the child's health and physical and mental development.
2- Undernutrition and obesity:
Undernutrition is characterized by dependence on fast food that is high in calories in excess of the child’s daily needs Relying on fast food as basic nutrition leads to the possibility of your child developing obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.
