Explanation of Solution

Different abnormal conditions will arise by the lack of proper eating.

Malnutrition and Undernourishment are two problems regarding our diet and the way we eat.

If we eat a diet which lacks the correct mix of nutrients, but having adequate energy content, then an abnormal physiological condition called malnutrition arises.
