Are you at risk of malnutrition?
CONTRARY to popular belief, malnutrition isn’t something that only affects the hardcore poor.
What many may not realise is that despite eating three square meals per day and snacks in between, you and I may still be at risk for malnutrition.
One shot for robust health
Malnutrition is a serious health problem, which includes undernutrition – being underweight and deficient in nutrients such as vitamins and minerals and overnutrition, or an overconsumption of nutrients.
Unfortunately, malnutrition is more prevalent than we may think.
One example of malnutrition is obesity. Foods prepared in cafés or fast food outlets are laden with hidden calories. Meanwhile, modern agriculture and food processing techniques may lower the nutritional value of our foods.
Therefore, despite consuming calorie-rich foods, you may be surprised to discover that you may be malnourished.
It’s not only energy-rich foods that cause malnutrition.
Individuals who have difficulty absorbing nutrients from food are also at risk. This can be caused by factors such as a sedentary lifestyle or health condition.
Other red flags of malnourishment in adults include losing five to 10 percent of your body weight within three to six months despite not taking actions to shed weight, feeling tired all the time or lacking energy, delayed wound healing and poor concentration.
In children, symptoms of malnutrition may include changes in behaviour such as being irritable, sluggish or anxious, or failure to grow at an expected rate.
Knowing the dangers of malnutrition, improving one’s nutrient intake becomes important for protecting one’s health.
For those looking for a simple yet effective way to meet their daily nutrient requirements, NH Nutri Grains is one such drink that can help. Just one shot a day will pave your way to robust health.
