Starvation

Starvation is the body's response to a lack of available food and calories. It occurs when food intake is not enough to meet the body's energy needs. Starvation has significant effects on the body, including weight loss, impaired immune function, and increased risk of infection. It is associated with malnutrition and can lead to long-term health complications. Starvation can affect an individual's quality of life, overall health, and can even be fatal if not addressed. Knowing the signs and risks of starvation is important for preventing and managing this condition. Nutritional therapy and dietary interventions are the primary methods of treatment.
