Overnutrition occurs when an individual consumes more nutrients, particularly calories, than the body needs for optimal functioning. This excess intake can lead to various health issues, including obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. It is often associated with a diet high in processed foods, sugars, and fats, which can contribute to an imbalance in nutrient consumption. The condition is prevalent in many developed countries, where easy access to high-calorie foods is common. Overnutrition can also result from a lack of physical activity, as sedentary lifestyles contribute to weight gain. Addressing overnutrition involves promoting healthier eating habits and encouraging regular exercise to maintain a balanced diet and overall well-being.
