A member asked:
Can you tell me two medical conditions related to unbalanced diets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Night blindness, (not enough vitamin A in the diet)- had a patient who only ate nuggets, chips and fries. Kwashiokor- a type of protein malnutrition. Not enough protein in the diet- leads to large bellies (biafra looking kids). Not enough calories- Marasmus- leads to thin wasted looking conditions- like World war 2 concentration camp survivors.
