It must be emphasized. however, that though good food is one of the crucial factors in ensuring health, it is not the only one. The food eaten must not only be nutritious.but it must be wholesome and clean and free from harmful germs. If this is not so, the person eating the food would get ill even if the food is nutritious.

Before we go any further. you need to be familiar with the term "malnutrition".Malnutrition is an impairment of health resulting from a deficiency  excess or imbalance of nutrients. In other words, malnutrition refers to both under nutrition and over nutrition. Under nutrition means a deficiency or lack of one or more nutrients and over nutrition means excess of one or more nutrients. Both under nutrition and over nutrition result in ill health.

One prominent example of under nutrition in our country is vitamin A deficiency. When young children do not consume enough vitamin A-rich foods. their eyes are affected and ultimately blindness results.

A disease that we easily relate to over nutrition is extreme overweight or obesity. When a,person takes in more energy than he is able to spend on his daily activities, he accumulates fat in the body and his weight increases. If the weight increases substantially, the person becomes obese.
