A well-balanced diet is an important factor in promoting a
healthy lifestyle and encourages a longer life with lower incidence of
disease. Chronic diseases, like obesity,
cardiovascular disease and diabetes, are long-term diseases that are often
preventable. According to an article on malnutrition, “Infectious disease is the primary reason for death in the developing
world. Malnutrition is a chief contributor to illness, disease and early
death. In communities where there are high levels of malnutrition, the risk of
contracting infectious disease, microorganisms and pathogens, including new and
challenging organisms such as SARS and drug-resistant strains of diseases,
increases” (Arnanya Mandal, 2011) .
