Protein Deficiency / Undernutrition
प्रोटीन की कमी / कुपोषण
Many Indian women, especially vegetarians and those who eat carb-heavy diets, do not get enough protein. Protein is needed for muscles, immunity, hair, repair, and — in pregnancy and breastfeeding — for the baby. Deficiency causes weakness, muscle loss, hair fall, slow healing, frequent infections, and swelling in severe cases. It is corrected by adding enough protein at every meal.
When to see a doctor
- TURANT DOCTOR — Pregnancy mein bahut kam weight gain ya baby ki movement/growth concern ke saath bahut kamzori
- DOCTOR KO DIKHAO — Lagatar kamzori, muscle loss, hair fall, slow healing ya baar-baar infection
- DOCTOR KO DIKHAO — Sharir/pair mein sujan (edema) ke saath poor diet (severe protein kami ho sakti)
Emergency: 112 · 102 · 108
