Neurological Consequences
of Nutritional Disorders

Nutrition is one of the most important requirements of humans, after oxygen and water. Human
evolution is closely related to nutrition and aimed
at improving nutrition to meet the high energy
needs of evolving brain and body. Globally about
50.5 million children are undernourished, 38.3
million overweight and 20 million obese. Poverty,
war, famine, sanctions and comorbidities are the
common causes of malnutrition. Even in the economically developed countries, malnutrition occurs
because of food faddism, isolation, depression
addiction and prolonged intensive care treatment.
