What does hunger do to bodies and learning
Hunger reduces energy for thinking and movement, harms growth, and contributes to chronic conditions like Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Poor nutrition in childhood lowers school performance and social ability, while hunger also strains relationships with peers and teachers. Government programs aid some families, but many remain food insecure due to cost and family size. Charities and food pantries supplement supplies to nourish hungry families.
