Human nutrition deals with the provision of essential nutrients in food that are necessary to support human life and good health. The cited article describes poor nutrition as a chronic problem often linked to poverty, food security or a poor understanding of nutritional requirements, and notes that malnutrition and its consequences are large contributors to deaths, physical deformities and disabilities worldwide. Good nutrition is described as necessary for children to grow physically and mentally and for normal human biological development. Public health nutrition programs, which aim to improve what populations eat and to prevent the harm that poor nutrition causes, are grouped under this practice.
