Malnutrition is a medical condition, where the body does not get enough nutrients. This condition develops when the quality and quantity of diet is low in a person. This leads to some deficiency diseases like kwashiorkor, marasmus, etc.

Nutrients are the substances found in food that are needed for biological activity and are essential to health and life. There are five types of substances that we have categorised under nutrients; such nutrients are carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals.
