Part 1. Define malnutrition and identify a specific disease that can result from it.
Part 2. Perform library research about the selected disease and explain its physiological effects on a person's body.
Part 3. Describe the relationship between specific foods/nutrients and the disease. Use the questions below to guide your response.
a. Does research indicate that a lack of specific foods/nutrients increase a person's chance of contracting the disease?
b. Are there specific foods/nutrients that should be avoided by an individual afflicted with the disease?
c. How do specific foods/nutrients work physiologically within the body to help combat the disease?
Part 4. Evaluate nutritional recommendations to help combat the disease.
Part 5. Cite at least 3 credible references and present the resources in APA format on the References page.
