Undernutrition

Undernutrition means not getting enough of the healthy food that our bodies need to grow and stay healthy. Just like how plants need water and sunlight to grow, our bodies need nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins from the food we eat.

If we don't get enough healthy food, our bodies can become sick and weak. Our brains may not work as well, we may have trouble seeing or hearing, and we may get sick more easily.

Undernutrition is something that can happen to people all over the world, but especially to those who live in poor or war-torn countries where it's hard to get enough healthy food. That's why people work hard to help bring healthy food to those who need it, so everyone can grow up strong and healthy.
