Dietary imbalances refer to an unequal distribution or lack of essential nutrients in a person's diet, which can lead to various health problems. This may occur due to several reasons such as poor food choices, malabsorption issues, or certain medical conditions that affect the body's ability to absorb and utilize nutrients effectively. Imbalances in essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats can lead to deficiencies, excesses, or an imbalance of macronutrients that are crucial for maintaining optimal health.
