Optimal health depends on good nutrition. Inadequate nutrition retards normal growth, lowers resistance to infectious disease, impairs maternal and child health, and adversely affect the ability to function at peak physical and mental capacity. Although the problems of nutritional deficiency have diminished in the U.S., they have been replaced by problems of dietary imbalance and excess. These imbalances and excesses have contributed to the increased prevalence and severity of chronic diseases that are major causes of death and disability among Americans. Together, these conditions account for as much as 70 percent of annual deaths in the U.S. Dietary imbalances and excesses have also been associated with high blood pressure, obesity,osteoporosis, dental diseases, as well as kidney and astrointestinal diseases.
