Human nutrition deals with the provision of essential nutrients in food that are necessary to support human life and good health.[1] Poor nutrition is a chronic problem often linked to poverty, food security, or a poor understanding of nutritional requirements.[2] Malnutrition and its consequences are large contributors to deaths, physical deformities, and disabilities worldwide.[3] Good nutrition is necessary for children to grow physically and mentally, and for normal human biological development.[2]
