malnutrition?!
Many women try to manage their weight by dieting or dieting. This sometimes leads them to consistently eat too little or choose foods that lack essential nutrients.
Besides calories, the body needs essential nutrients like proteins, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats to function properly. Malnutrition means you don't get enough of these. This can lead to reduced immunity, muscle breakdown, fatigue, and even worsening of lipoedema symptoms.
So, good nutrition doesn't mean "eating less," but eating better: wholesome, nutritious food that supports your body. This way, you work from the inside out toward more energy, fewer complaints, and better health – even if your body doesn't get slimmer.
