1.1 Neo's Condition and Contributing Factors
Neo's symptoms, such as a bloated stomach, dry and scaly skin, frequent
illnesses, constant tiredness, and tooth decay, suggest he might be
experiencing malnutrition. This condition is often a result of inadequate intake
of essential nutrients. Given his family's poor economic status and the

, unemployment of his parents, Neo likely has limited access to nutritious food,
healthcare, and possibly a healthy living environment. These factors together
contribute to his current health challenges.
1.2 Five Types of Food Needed for Growth and Health
To support Neo's proper growth and overall health, it is essential to include the
following types of food in his diet:
1. Proteins: Necessary for the growth and repair of body tissues.
Examples: Lean meats (chicken, fish), eggs, dairy products (milk,
cheese, yogurt), legumes (beans, lentils), nuts, and seeds.
2. Carbohydrates: Provide energy for daily activities and are crucial for
brain function.
Examples: Whole grains (whole wheat bread, brown rice, oats), starchy
vegetables (potatoes, corn), fruits (apples, bananas), and legumes.
3. Fats: Essential for energy, brain development, and the absorption of fat-
soluble vitamins.
Examples: Avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish like salmon.
4. Vitamins and Minerals: Support various bodily functions, including
immune response, bone health, and energy metabolism.
Examples: Fruits and vegetables (citrus fruits, leafy greens, bell
peppers), dairy products (for calcium), lean meats (for iron), and fortified
cereals.
