Abstract
Good nutrition is a major factor affecting not only an individual's growth and development but also general physical and mental health and quality of life. Poor nutrition is a well-established risk factor for development of chronic and life-threatening diseases such as cardiovascular disease (including coronary heart disease and stroke), some cancers, and type 2 diabetes.https://doi.org/10.1071/NB04S26
