Dietary stress refers to a condition where an individual's diet is not balanced or does not provide adequate nutrition, leading to negative health effects. This can occur due to various reasons such as poor food choices, lack of access to certain foods, allergies or intolerances, and other factors that affect a person's ability to maintain a healthy diet. Dietary stress can result in fatigue, weight loss or gain, digestive issues, skin problems, and increased susceptibility to illnesses. It is essential for individuals to address any dietary imbalances by consulting with a nutritionist or doctor to develop a balanced diet that meets their specific needs.
