Optimum nutrition refers to the sufficient dietary intake and uptake of the nutrients required for the human body to run optimally. These would include the macro nutrients like Proteins Carbohydrates and Fats and micro nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. There are other essential bodily requirements such as clean water, fibre and some say vitality, which is an element of living food. Mal-nutrition is when one or several of these nutrients is missing from the diet over a sufficent period of time that the body uses up any stored nutrients and starts to run in a less then optimum manner. You can still live but you're not running at your peak potential. It is possible to eat a huge amount of calories be over weight and still be malnourished, ie: not have sufficient calcium to support bone strength. However, our most widely known images of malnutrition are of persons in very poor countries who are starving.
