Detailed explanation-1: -Malnutrition means poor nutrition. Most commonly this is caused by not eating enough (undernutrition) or not eating enough of the right food to give your body the nutrients it needs. A balanced diet should provide enough nutrients like calories, protein and vitamins, to keep you healthy.
