Nutrition is the provision

Nutrition is the provision to obtain the materials necessary to support life. Depending on stored body fat and muscle mass, people can usually survive for two to eight weeks without food. Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days.
Lack of food remains a serious problem, with about 36 million people dying every year from causes directly or indirectly related to hunger. Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease. However global food distribution is not equal, and obesity among some human populations has increased to almost epidemic proportions, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries.
