1. State the effects of inadequate nutrition during the growing years

Inadequate nutrition during the growing years can significantly impair healthy growth and
development. Nutrition plays a critical role in human resource development since deficiencies in
essential nutrients lead to malnutrition, which affects an individual's mental and physical state, resulting
in poor health and poor work performance. Children who eat poorly are more likely to develop certain
long-term health problems and complications, including Osteoporosis in later life and cardiovascular
diseases. Growing up eating foods high in fat, sugar, and salt can increase the risk for high
cholesterol, high blood pressure, and atherosclerosis as an adult.

and shortness of breath. The extra pounds can put pressure on your heart and lungs and symptoms may
show up even with little exertion. However, Eating fast food once a week ensures that you are able to
give your body what it needs without harming it, and it also helps in boosting metabolism by making
