Question

A small child became very thin and lean and later he became so weak that he could not move. Which nutrients should he eat so as to improve his health?

Answer 1

Carbohydrates are one of the most important sources of energy for the body of many organisms, including humans. Proteins are the major structural component of cells and are responsible for the structure, function, repair, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. The deficiency of carbohydrates and proteins causes a person to become very thin, lean, and weak. To improve the health of a person suffering from this deficiency, his diet must include food items rich in carbohydrates and proteins.
