E64.0: Sequelae of protein-energy malnutrition
You had too few nutrients in your body in the past. As a result, you are having symptoms.
You had too little food in the past. You have probably also had insufficient protein.
The body can produce certain nutrients itself. The other nutrients and adequate energy must be contained in food. With a balanced diet, the body can absorb all the nutrients that it needs. If you have too few nutrients in your body, you may have various symptoms. Sometimes these symptoms also persist even when you have taken enough nutrients in again.
