WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO EAT RIGHT

Eating right has a lot of positive impact on our health, people who do not eat right often develop malnutrition. This could be general malnutrition or under malnutrition from not eating enough of any kind of food or from not eating the right kinds of food. Anyone can develop general malnutrition but it is very dangerous for children, women and elderly people.

WOMEN of child-bearing age need extra food to stay healthy, to have healthy babies and to do their daily woks especially if they are pregnant.

Children also need a lot of different kind of food for growth. When these are lacking, it may result into various sicknesses and if care is not taking may result into death. A malnourished child does not grow well but thinner and shorter than other children, cry a lot, irritable , play less, get sick more often, and may easily loose weight.

Elderly people often loose their teeth and taste for food still, they need to eat well in order to stay healthy.
