Malnutrition can result in weight loss, weakness, fatigue, slowed growth in children, weakened immune system, and other health issues.

What is a "seed"?

A seed is a small, often hard object produced by a fruit or vegetable, containing the embryo of a new plant. Seeds serve as a means of reproduction and dispersal for plants, enabling them to propagate and spread across different environments. They contain all the genetic information and necessary nutrients for the development of a new plant. Seeds come in various shapes, sizes, and textures, and are a fundamental aspect of plant biology and agriculture. Additionally, seeds are a valuable source of nutrition for humans and animals, containing essential nutrients such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

What is "Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome"?

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a serious condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which attacks the immune system and weakens the body's ability to fight off infections and diseases. AIDS is considered the advanced stage of HIV infection, characterized by a significant decline in immune function and the development of infections or cancers. Symptoms of AIDS can include repeated fevers, unexplained weight loss, persistent diarrhea, and intense fatigue. Without treatment, AIDS can be life-threatening. However, with advancements in antiretroviral therapy (ART), many people with HIV can prevent the progression to AIDS and live long and healthy lives.
