Disease Related Malnutrition

Malnutrition is a lack of adequate nutrition that can be caused by not having enough to eat, not eating enough of the right things, or being unable to utilise the food that is being consumed¹. The term malnutrition can include both over and under nutrition, however, Vitaflo use the term ‘malnutrition’ to refer to ‘under nutrition’ which is when a person cannot meet their macro and micro nutrient requirements from normal diet alone.

• Unexplained or unplanned weight loss
• Feeling tired and lacking energy
• Loss of appetite
• Poor concentration
• Depression
