Answer:

Human nutrition deals with the provision of essential nutrients in food that are necessary to support human life and good health. Poor nutrition is a chronic problem often linked to poverty, food security or a poor understanding of nutrition and dietary practices and poor knowledge about nutrients required by the body at various stages of life to prevent deficiency of nutrients in body which can have adverse effects on body.[1] Malnutrition and its consequences are large contributors to deaths, physical deformities and disabilities worldwide.[2] Good nutrition is necessary for children to grow physically and mentally, and for normal human biological development.[1]

According to UNICEF, South Asia has the highest levels of underweight children under five, followed by sub-Saharan Africans nations, with Industrialized countries and Latin nations having the lowest rates.[1]

United States Edit

In the United States, 2% of children are underweight, with under 1% stunted and 6% are wasting.[1]

In the US, dietitians are registered (RD) or licensed (LD) with the Commission for Dietetic Registration and the American Dietetic Association, and are only able to use the title "dietitian," as described by the business and professions codes of each respective state, when they have met specific educational and experiential prerequisites and passed a national registration or licensure examination, respectively. Anyone may call themselves a nutritionist, including unqualified dietitians, as this term is unregulated.[citation needed] Some states, such as the State of Florida, have begun to include the title "nutritionist" in state licensure requirements. Most governments provide guidance on nutrition, and some also impose mandatory disclosure/labeling requirements for processed food manufacturers and restaurants to assist consumers in complying with such guidance.[citation needed]
