Nutrition and food are fundamental necessities for human sustenance. Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining the health and well-being of individuals and is an integral component of the healthcare delivery system. The nutritional status of individuals significantly impacts clinical outcomes. Essential nutrients are categorized into six groups, namely carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, minerals, vitamins, and water. The nutritional requirements of healthy individuals vary based on factors such as age, s*x, and activity level. Consequently, recommended dietary intake values differ for each group of individuals. An imbalance in nutritional intake leads to malnutrition. However, the term malnutrition now encompasses conditions caused by both insufficient and excessive intake of macronutrients and micronutrients. According to WHO guidelines, malnutrition comprises three categories: undernutrition (low weight-for-height, low height-for-age, and low weight-for-age), micronutrient (vitamins and minerals) deficiency or excess, and overnutrition (overweight, obesity, and other diet-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disorders, etc.).
