What is it that comes to your mind whenever you hear this word, Malnutrition and the causes of malnutrition? The image of a skinny person with bones protruding, right? We would never call an overweight person as malnourished!

But, here is what you should remember. Both of them are genuine instances of malnutrition. If the first person has experienced undernutrition, the second one has experienced overnutrition. However, we only tend to agree with the first one as malnourished. In this post, I will break the myths and tell you everything you should be knowing about ‘Malnutrition’.

So What Exactly is It?
Malnutrition is basically a health disorder wherein a person intakes excessive nutrients or insufficient nutrients. It is the imbalance that is the key point. This condition could cause harm to various essential organs and their functions in the human body. While the lack of ample nutrients causes improper growth, it could also cause rickets, organ failure and stunted growth. On the flip side, overnutrition could also have the same sort of results where the person would fall prey to hypertension, diabetes, obesity or even heart attack!

What are The Causes of Malnutrition?
Malnutrition can happen due to various aspects. If undernutrition is found among the poor, since they aren’t availed of nutritious food, overnutrition could be the effect of careless lifestyle or health disorders such as PCOD or improper thyroid gland functioning.

Take a Look at What You Could Call as the Initiation of Malnutrition
1. No Balanced Diet
In children, malnutrition is caused as a result of lack of balanced diet that has nutrition. In poverty-stricken countries, people do not get to intake vital nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats and vitamins in their everyday meal. Besides, people who do not have enough information about nutrition will be often seen following a diet which you could call unhealthy. This diet would not contain needed minerals and vitamins, and will eventually causes of malnutrition.

2. Harmful of Indigestible Meals
Harmful or indigestible meals could be among the leading causes of malnutrition. Children who are from rich background intake expensive food that could be harmful or indigestible. Such foods would make them feel full, which will cause malnutrition. Loss of appetite could result in life by or liver disease, tumors, chronic infections, depressive illness and most importantly, malnutrition.

3. No Regulated Diet
This is a commonly found problem. Irregular consuming of food could result in malnutrition. Breakfast, lunch, as well as supper, must always be consumed at the right time. Irregular consumption could cause improper digestion leading to malnutrition.

4. Unclean Environment
An Unclean environment in the workplace or at home is one among the leading causes of malnutrition. The workplace or the home environment tends to get dirty if it lacks proper sunlight, pure fresh air or clean places. This will hamper the needed nutrition among people.

5. No Proper Rest or Sound Sleep
Suffocating sleep area and low space will tamper the sleep of a person. Extensive watching of television, spending time on the internet would cause insufficient sleep. This is known to have an impact on digestion in the body. When improper digestion happens, malnutrition happens!

6. Negligence
This one sums it up all! If you are negligent towards the health of your body, you will certainly not concentrate upon a proper food habit, and that will only lead to malnutrition.

7. Diseases in The Body
People who are infected by any disease must necessarily have a balanced diet. If this does not happen, it could hinder the proper functioning of the body. When this happens, malnutrition eventually surfaces!

8. Extensive Work
Let’s all agree upon this. Our daily work schedule which is filled with hectic deadlines makes us less focused on our health. As a result, we do not consume food time to time, and even when we do, we don’t consider if we are taking in sufficient nutrients. Moreover, when it is more of a field work, people need to consume proper food!

9. No Exercise or Games
We feel we don’t even have enough time for others, forget about spending time for ourselves! Our hectic life has made us so ignorant that we don’t even care to involve in games or exercises. When we don’t do it, it tampers with the digestion process and leads to malnutrition.

10. Dysphagia
This is a disorder wherein the affected person finds it difficult to eat food due to aching of the teeth. People affected with this disorder will even find it difficult to swallow food. This would lead to malnutrition. And when malnutrition happens, the condition only worsens due to mouth blockage or throat blockage. Make sure you consult a doctor if you have any such symptoms!

Other causes of malnutrition could be;

Alcohol or drug abuse
Certain medications
Nausea, Diarrhoea and vomiting
Illness related to digestive processes like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
Severe burns, injury or aftermath of surgical procedures
Lack of balanced diet in pregnant women
Premature birth of babies
Heart defects, cystic fibrosis other diseases that prevail for a long time!

What are The Effects of Malnutrition?
The effects observed due to malnutrition differs in each person. But, there are a few generic symptoms that would confirm malnutrition.

Here are Symptoms of Undernutrition

Severe loss of the adipose tissues
Problem in breathing, along with frequent respiratory disorders
Severely less body temperature
Depression
A fall in the count of white blood cells
Regular infections followed by delayed recovery
Healing of wounds get delayed
Lowered libido
Anxiety and irritability
Extreme tiredness of fatigue
Alopecia
Severely dry scalp or skin
In extreme cases, it could even lead to organ failure

Here are Symptoms of Overnutrition
The other face of the coin is even more unsettling. An obese person could be under a huge risk of malnourishment since he or she only tend to consume fattening foods frequently. Here are the symptoms.

High BMI
Diabetes
Hypertension
Higher waist to hip proportion
Anxiety, stress or irritability
Depression
Irregular periods
Low or no libido
Polycystic ovarian disorder
Premature graying of hair
Dry skin

Preventing Malnutrition
You must recognize the main cause and also the magnitude of the aftermath if you want to treat the problem effectively. If the cause is related to a medical problem, it must be catered to and cured very soon. When the cause is dealt with, you must plan a diet filled with nutrients so that you can heal the effects of malnutrition.

The only way to eradicate malnutrition, from either sides of the coin, is to ensure that you always consume a balanced diet. For this to happen, you must include these major elements in the food.

Carbohydrates
Proteins
Vegetables
Healthy fats
Fruits
Milk or other dairy products
Ensure you consume at least a liter and a half of water everyday

Conclusion
As we witnessed, malnutrition isn’t solely about your diet. It is also about your attitude, your lifestyle and many other things. If you have to deal with the problem, you are supposed to change the way you look at food. Ensure that exercise is mandatory in your everyday life.

Is this the first written mention of Jesus? 2,000-year-old lead tablets found in a remote cave ARE genuine, claim researchers.

An ancient set of lead tablets showing the earliest portrait of Jesus Christ have proved to be around 2,000 years old, according to experts.

The metal 'pages', held together like a ring binder, were found in Jordan in around 2008 by an Jordanian Bedouin and make reference to Christ and his disciples.

The lead has been analysed and the words and symbols translated and experts say the tablets date from within a few years of Jesus' ministry.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE ANCIENT LEAD TABLETS
The ancient books were found in 2008 in a cave in northern Jordan by a Jordanian Bedouin, after which they are said to have been acquired by an Israeli Bedouin.

The lead 'pages' - known as codices - are held together like a ring binder.

The pages are thought to be 2,000 years old and are said to contain the earliest mentions of Jesus Christ, including an image.

Their discovery was first announced in 2011.

They have been branded fakes by a number of scholars.

However, authors David and Jennifer Elkington have been campaigning since 2009 for the codices to be recognised and protected.

And what they reveal could be enlightening not only for Christians, but also Jews and Muslims.

The tablets suggest that Christ was not starting his own religion, but restoring a thousand-year-old tradition from the time of King David.

And the God he worshipped was both male and female.

Central to the books is the idea that Christ promoted worship in Solomon's Temple where the very face of God was believed to be seen - and this is where the episode with the moneylenders in the Bible came from.

One of the books bears resemblance to how the Book of Revelations is described as it has seven seals.

The books are known as codices - types of bound manuscripts distinct from scrolls - and among them is an image of Jesus himself.

Authors David and Jennifer Elkington have been campaigning since 2009 for the codices to be recognised and protected but say evangelical Christians are trying to brand them fakes.

WHAT THE TABLETS SAY
The lead has been analysed and the words and symbols translated and experts say the tablets date from within a few years of Jesus' ministry.

The tablets suggest that Christ was not starting his own religion, but restoring a thousand-year-old tradition from the time of King David.

And the God he worshipped was both male and female.

Central to the books is the idea that Christ promoted worship in Solomon's Temple where the very face of God was believed to be seen - and this is where the episode with the moneylenders in the Bible came from.

One of the books bears resemblance to how the Book of Revelations is described as it has seven seals.

They were apparently discovered by Hassan Saeda, an Israeli Bedouin, who according to some reports was given them by his grandfather, and by others that he discovered them in a flood.

The artefacts were found in a remote part of Jordan to which Christian refugees are known to have fled after the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD.

David Elkington, 54, of Gloucestershire, says he is now trying to prevent the codices from being sold on the black market.

In 2011 Elkington announced their discovery on BBC News and the world's press followed it up.

But a number of scholars came forward to brand them fakes, most without ever seeing the codices.

Now tests conducted by Professor Roger Webb and Professor Chris Jeynes at the University of Surrey's Nodus Laboratory at the Ion Beam Centre, confirm that the tablet is compatible with a comparative sample of ancient Roman lead unearthed from an excavation site in Dorset.

The experts said that the codex they tested 'does not show the radioactivity arising from polonium that is typically seen in modern lead samples, indicating that the lead of the codex was smelted over one hundred years ago'.

They went onto explain how the testing suggests that the artefacts are indeed 2,000 years old.
'While there may be variations in decay and corrosion that depend upon the environmental conditions in which the objects were stored or hidden, there is a strong underlying theme of decay from within the metal,' said the researchers in a press statement.

'It is oxidising and breaking down at atomic level to revert to its natural state.
'This is not witnessed in lead objects that are several centuries old and is not possible to produce by artificial acceleration (e.g. through heating).

'This provides very strong evidence that the objects are of great age, consistent with the studies of the text and designs that suggest an age of around 2000 years'.

The codex was leant to the Elkingtons by the Department of Antiquities in Amman for testing.

The books are known as codices - types of bound manuscripts distinct from scrolls - and among them is an image of Jesus himself.

Further crystallisation analysis indicates that the codex is likely to be between 1800-2000 years old.

Although Christ is referred to outside of the Gospels, for example by the Roman writer Tacitus, these would be the earliest and only Hebrew-Christian documents in existence - and linguistic and metallurgical analysis now suggests they are.

The tablets, bound together like ring binders suggest that Christ was not starting his own religion, but restoring a thousand-year-old tradition from the time of King David.

Authors David and Jennifer Elkington have been campaigning since 2009 for the codices (pictured) to be recognised and protected but say evangelical Christians are trying to brand them fakes.

Analysis of the script by scholars has confirmed that the language of the codices is Paleo-Hebrew.

The codices are covered in eight-pointed stars, symbolic of the coming of the messiah, and they mention the name of Jesus.

They also contain the names of apostles James, Peter and John.

REAL OR FAKE? CONTROVERSY SURROUNDS TABLETS
Since their unveiling in 2011, the lead tablets have proved controversial.
Academics are divided as to their authenticity but have said that if verified, they could prove as pivotal as the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947.

The prospect that they could contain contemporary accounts of the final years of Jesus’s life has excited scholars ever since – although their enthusiasm has been tempered by the fact that experts have previously been fooled by sophisticated fakes.

David Elkington, a British scholar of ancient religious history and archaeology, and one of the few to have examined the books, says they could be ‘the major discovery of Christian history’.

But the mysteries between their ancient pages are not the books’ only riddle.
Previously, their whereabouts were also something of a mystery.

After their discovery by a Jordanian Bedouin, the hoard was subsequently acquired by an Israeli Bedouin, who was said to have illegally smuggled them across the border into Israel, where they remained.

However, the Jordanian Government later worked to repatriate and safeguard the collection.

The are now kept by the Department of Antiquities in the Jordanian capital Amman.
According to the Elkingtons the books suggest Christ was part of a Hebrew sect dating back 1,000 years to King David, who worshipped in the Temple of Solomon and believed in a male-female God.

In the Bible Jesus is referred to as a 'tekton' which is usually translated as 'carpenter' but actually means a skilled craftsman and could refer to the skill of producing such works in metal.

The ancient book was first found in 2008 in Jordan (pictured) by an Israeli Bedouin. The find was officially announced in 2011.

In traditional Christian icons he is often shown carrying a sealed book - a codex.
Mr Elkington said: 'Jesus was seeking to restore the Temple.

'To put back that which had been lost in the reforms that came before his time.
'Dr Hugh Schonfield, one of the most eminent authorities ever to work on the Dead Sea Scrolls, predicted that a metal book would be found: as he recognized that one had been described in a scroll called The Damascus Document - a description that fits precisely one of the codices.

'His conclusion was that Christianity was based within the Hebrew Temple.

'Dr Schonfield, who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, also described himself as a Jewish-Christian, a view that he held because of his work on the scrolls.

The ancient book was found in 2008 in a cave in northern Jordan by an Israeli Bedouin. The discovery was first announced in 2011.

'A part of the older tradition of the Temple was the Divine Feminine - known to Christians as the Holy Spirit. Jesus had women involved in his ministry.

'At the height of his ministry, the gospels tell us that Jesus challenged the moneychangers in the temple.

'The codices appear to reveal what happened afterwards - a chapter missing from the gospels.
'It would appear that Christianity was founded upon what Jesus did in the temple: a place where many Jews believed God actually resided. Jesus went into the Temple to renew a covenant with God.'

If the codices are genuine, as the metal and writing suggests they are, they provide new insight into the life of Christ.

While the codices do not contradict any of the established narrative they place greater emphasis on the physical temple, of the belief in the divine feminine and in Christ's role in protecting a lineage of Hebrews rather than being the founder of his own movement.
Previously, many experts have been wary of confirming the authenticity of the codices.

In 2011, two samples were sent to a laboratory in England where they were examined by Peter Northover, head of the materials science-based archaeology group.

The verdict was inconclusive without more tests, but he said the composition was 'consistent with a range of ancient lead.'
However, Philip Davies, emeritus professor of biblical studies at Sheffield University was convinced the codices were genuine after studying one.

He has told colleagues privately that he believed the find is unlikely to have been forged, reported the Sunday Times.
