Meal planing(good nutrition and malnutrition)

As an introduction, the characteristics generally associated with a well nourished person are set down and contrasted with the characteristics often evident in a person suffering from malnutrition. it is likely that anyone who is suffering from gross malnutrition is a result of carelessness with diet or from lack of knowledge, there are some number of people who do not enjoy all the benefits associated with a well-balanced diet and malnutrition, from the onset is always attributed to lack of
knowledge and/or carelessness with diet. most times people can suffer from malnutrition through apathy, laziness or lack of knowledge of food values. the problem applies to both sexes and to all age groups. a girl living alone should have added incentive of knowing that a well balanced diet will do much more for her appearance than any cosmetics and hair design does. all she has to know is the basic five food groups and recommended amounts of each food  and of course make sure that she gets them daily. if any of these unpleasant symptoms appear, you should suspect your diet and your food habits, bad food habits once established are difficult to change. considerable thought and will-power are required to make a successful change.
