Malnutrition
While eating food, we should bear in mind that we do not eat just to satisfy hunger or to fill the stomach. We eat to reserve our health. For good health we need good food. Sometimes it so happens that people who live even in the midst of plenty do not eat the foods they need for good health, because they have no knowledge of the science of health and nutrition. They do not know how to select a balanced diet from the many foods that are available to them. One of the main reasons of malnutrition in poor countries is their lack of knowledge of nutrition. Again, the poor and illiterate people in the world generally think that good and nutritive food means a costly food. They do not know that whatever food they get could be good and nutritive if they could select the food items wisely to make it a balanced one.
