    What we often say about "malnutrition" does not only mean "nourishment" or "nourishment", but also "overnutrition". "Overnutrition" refers to exceeding the physiological needs, exceeding the recommended intake, excessive intake; second refers to digestion, absorption, and metabolic dysfunction, causing certain "excess of nutrients", for example, energy accumulation in the body, converted into Excess fat and obesity, protein absorption is greater than consumption, converted to body weight, some trace elements exceed the standard and even produce poisoning and so on.
