Based on a new research that tracks down the heart health of Dutch women who lived through the famine at the end of World War II, researchers found that those who consumed only 400-800 calories per day, mostly aged between 10 and 17 at that time, have a 27% higher risk of heart disease later on in their lives. The result is considered as the first direct evidence that indicates the importance of early nutrition and how it can shape our future health. Researchers said that it's good to realize that childhood malnutrition can have long-lasting negative impact on later adult health, so that people are well aware of the fact that it is significant for children and young individuals to develop a healthy diet.
