Overnutrition

Overnutrition occurs when the body takes in more nutrients, especially calories, than it needs for healthy functioning. This excess can lead to weight gain, obesity, and related health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. It often results from consuming too much food or unhealthy foods high in sugars and fats. Overnutrition is different from malnutrition, where there’s a deficiency of essential nutrients. Managing overnutrition involves balanced eating habits, portion control, and choosing nutritious foods to maintain a healthy weight and reduce health risks.
