be malnourished
- Addressing malnourishment can be as straightforward as correcting your diet, while obesity often demands years of sustained lifestyle change.
- Genetic and hormonal factors can make obesity effectively permanent regardless of effort, whereas nutritional deficits have a clearer path to recovery.
- Being malnourished can mean a nutritional imbalance rather than outright starvation, making the condition potentially less severe than the word implies.
