It’s consuming too many nutrients, like overeating, which can lead to obesity.
Right! Overnutrition can lead to obesity and related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Think of the acronym 'BOLD' for the effects: Binge eating, Obesity, Lifestyle diseases, and Diabetes. Let’s on summarize: both undernutrition and overnutrition can have severe consequences on our health.
Let’s talk about how to make healthy food choices. What are some examples of healthy foods?
