Inadequate Nutrition
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Inadequate nutrition refers to a diet that does not provide the balance of nutrients the body needs, whether from deficiency, excess, or imbalance among the different food groups.
Possible signs: Tiredness, weight changes, weakness, concentration problems, or changes in the skin and hair can reflect a poorly balanced diet.
Why it matters: An unbalanced diet sustained over time can affect daily energy and overall health, so it is advisable to review eating habits.
Which specialist provides guidance? The nutritionist is the professional who assesses eating habits and proposes personalized adjustments; the general practitioner and, in certain cases, the endocrinologist can also help. If you want to improve your diet safely, seeing one of these professionals is a good starting point.
