There are seven major classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, dietary fiber, minerals, protein, vitamins, and water. How could deficiency of various dietary nutrients be prevented? Awareness of essential commodities act. Awareness of existence of medical conditions due to dietary nutritional defenciency. Awareness of the duty of state administrations to take care of basic human needs of all residents, including their nutrition. Annual health assessment by competent primary health care providers.
