When people don’t get the nutrition they need, sadly it can be fatal.
Today hunger is a major part of poverty. 10 million people each year die of chronic hunger and hunger-related diseases. Hunger kills more people each year than AIDs, Malaria, and Tuberculosis combined. Every five seconds a child dies of hunger. Hunger leads to malnutrition. Thirty- five percent of the world population does not receive enough protein, and therefore not enough physical energy to function and work normally. Globally, there are 2 billion people who are anemic, including 5.5 million people who reside in countries of wealthy western capitalism.[Verfaillie12/6/2013]
Poverty also has negative effects on overall health. Women in developing countries have a shorter lifespan. Every five minutes 19 children under five years of age die of pneumonia; Due to inadequate and substandard medical care, 500,000 mothers every year die in childbirth; five million children every year do not survive to celebrate their fifth birthday.[Verfaillie12/6/2013] People in poorer communities in essence suffer from decreased lifespans.
