14.) The annoying world: malnutrition.
The lack of sufficient nutrients in the body.
This is referred to as 'undernutrition'.
Short for their age,
Thin or bloated is written on the page,
A weakened immune system,
Psychiatric symptoms are profound for the pilgrim,
Impaired nutrient utilization,
4 forms are the basis for a fatal remuneration,
Wasting, stunting, underweight and micronutrient deficiencies,
An analysis brings heartache to all extremities.
A healthy and a balanced diet forms part of the healing; snacking inbetween meals and it creates a progressive feeling.
Whilst taking care of your body's batteries,
have drinks that contain a whole lot calories.
The uppers run around and roam,
Stay put and get supermarket deliveries at home.
Porridge, toast and orange juice,
Good elements that can fix you up once you rise from a night's snooze.
The idea to follow the rules of a clinician,
The understanding to live them with full ambition,
The fuel to the fire, and it starts the ignition,
Let alone a cure for the deadly factors of malnutrition.
Poet: Vynolyn Naidoo
