Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Poorest countries facing both obesity and malnutrition

Lack of proper nutrition, whether inadequate or imbalanced, is causing considerable health problems to anyone on the planet. Around the world, one in five people is getting overweight while one in five women is considered too thin. Also, more than 150 million children under four aren’t growing as they are supposed to. The problem is that overweight has become common not only in developed countries but also in developing regions including sub-Saharan Africa. That’s because more unhealthy, high-calorie foods and sugary drinks are available more easily and economically. Think of supermarkets and convenience stores that are loaded with colorful food packages of cereals, snacks, and prepared meals and soda cans that are attractively labeled. And you can find these stores almost everywhere in the world now. Also, there are fast-food restaurants on the road where people can drive in or through to get food and drinks that charge them instantly without any physical work. No wonder people become heavier as they eat more and move less.

Today’s world is suffering these two contradicting problems at the same time, overweight and malnutrition.

Enjoy reading the article and learn about how easily people could suffer their health these days.
