growth, underweight).
• Overnutrition – excessive intake of calories or nutrients leading to overweight or obesity.

• Common causes: fast food, sugary drinks, lack of exercise.
3. Micronutrient Deficiencies

• Prevention: balanced diet, regular exercise, avoiding processed foods, not smoking.
B. Nutritional Needs
Nutritional needs vary depending on age, sex, body size, activity level, and health condition. The
body requires six classes of essential nutrients:
1. Carbohydrates – provide energy (rice, bread, corn, sugar).
2. Proteins – build and repair tissues (fish, meat, beans, eggs).
3. Fats – reserve source of energy and help absorb vitamins (oils, butter, nuts).
4. Vitamins – regulate body processes (fruits, vegetables).
5. Minerals – strengthen bones and teeth, help blood function (milk, leafy greens).
6. Water – maintains body temperature and helps digestion.
Nutritional Needs Across Life Stages:
