What is the difference between starvation and malnutrition?
Question:
Answers:
starvation would be when food isn't being consumed enough to nourish the body.
Malnutrition will happen when the body is being starved but can also happen when the proper nutrients are not being consumed. There are 6 groups of nutrients: carbohydrates, protein, fat, minerals, vitamins and water. It is essential to consume a percentage of each nutrient everyday for overall health, without any of these nutrients a person will be malnourished.
Starvation is when you don't eat anything malnutrition is when your not getting enough of the right things. They work hand in hand though.
starvation is where you refuse to eat and instead let your tummy go hungry
malnutrition is when you're not gettin enough of your nutritions. With malnutrition, you dont have to be starvin yourself, but could be just not payin attention to what you eat. But in most cases, you're not eatin enough
starvation is not eating at all, malnutrition is a side effect of starvation, BUT people who consume more than enough calories could also suffer malnutriton if they have an unhealthy diet.
