According to Ayurveda there are 5 types of Nutritional Disorders:
1. Quantitative dietary deficiency, which includes under-nutrition due to insufficient food, and even starvation.
2. Qualitative dietary deficiency, which includes consuming the wrong food combination, thereby resulting in malnutrition, toxic condition and lack of essential nutrients.
3. Qualitative and quantitative over-nutrition, which includes emotional overeating resulting in obesity and/or high cholesterol, which can lead to hypertension, heart attacks or paralysis.
4. Digestive disorders due to toxins in food.
5. Digestive disorders due to intake of foods, which are antagonistic to your personal constitution.
