Health and nutrition are closely linked in a malnutrition-infection cycle in which diseases contribute to malnutrition, and malnutrition makes an individual more susceptible to disease. Malnutrition is the result of inadequate dietary intake, disease or both. Disease contributes through loss of appetite, malabsorption of nutrients, loss of nutrients through diarrhoea or vomiting. If the body's metabolism is altered the greater the risk is of malnutrition.
âThey studied giant redwoods, the tallest trees on earth in Humboldt County California to reach these conclusions. They hypothesized and verified experimentally that as trees reached the height of 425 they could pump less and less water and nutrients up to new growth at that level. No current tree in the world has reached this height.
The Redwood Trees are the tallest living beings in the earth. With the height of 360 feet (100+ meters) The worldâs tallest trees are California redwoods, technically known as Sequoia sempervirens.
