Obese people too are malnoursihed and die of malnurition

Post by ZubeirAwal »

If you juxtapose someone suffering from severe obesity and someone suffering from severe starvation they might seem contrastingly different but both are suffering because of the same reasons. Obese people lack any micronutrients in their body and so they are malnourished of any nutrition that the body needs despite them having access to food, except that the food that they consume is not entirely packed with micronutrients but macronutrients. A person suffering from severe starvation does not have access to either foods packed with micronutrients or foods packed with macronutrients, however they still are suffering because of the lacking of micronutrients and not the macros, so the obese person and the starving person are both at the end of the day suffering from malnourishment.

Ofcourse obese people have to deal with things like type 2 diabetes aswell, I'm not neglecting that but this was something that just crossed my mind after listening to a lecture.

:dwill: what is micro and macro nutrients, what does each constitute of, then find a medical studies that actually show that obese ppl are in a state of malnourishment ....it's bs nonsense, but it's the kinda of nonsense you can't refute all of it, because there is some logic behind it, but drawing a straight connectioon between obesity and micro dificiency is quite alarming.. Are u saying obesity is some kind of result from dificiency? or lack of micronutrients are caused by obesity, if that's the case, can we really call it 'mulnutrion'? :?

When you say Micro, I'm assuming your talking about the trace elements. It doesn't really matter if your starving yourself or eating lots of junk food or, you will still lack certain elements under both conditions, in the latter case, and the junk food lacks those trace elements, it isnt something new, except of the bullshit introduction of the word "micro nutrients, as means to sell expensive diet supps for the gullible

you will need a good nutrition studies to make a conclusion...Till then, it's Macrobullocks vs Microbullocks

You're absolutely right. Most people think obese people are unhealthy because of high levels of sodium, cholesterol and fat percentage - they are also forgetting that without vitamins and minerals they can still become very sick.

Reminds of this article - shes 23 and neither underweight or overweight but "her persistent aversion to fruit and vegetables has rendered her severely malnourished and about as healthy as an average 80-year-old.
