Disparities in nutrition and lack of healthcare, leads to an eventual gateway to life without an address. People are amazing, and we all have wishes dreams and desires, as nobody wants to do nothing with their lives. Young people form indigent households may experience lack of access to health care, and often times burnout and suffer from mental fatigue early in the morning and more often. then their peers that eat breakfast before the morning school bell rings. As so is the same for adults who suffer from a lack of nutrition and healthcare. Everybody deserves to have a peaceful place to live and reside. And when your home is taken way. Your dignity, personal belongings, safety and security are swept away as well. When people are hungry and lacking proper nutrition, it is honestly hard to be at our best and to compete in today's mainstream world, when we are constantly thinking about our next meal, and we have nowhere to turn, and hunger related issues becomes a problem, and has negative impacts, for the individual, and family life.
Lack of nutrition and healthcare, results in a losing combination with acute and chronic consequences. When we are not in our metabolic comfort zones lack of nutrition, is a accelerate of depression and makes us prone to make mistakes in the workplace and can result in poor decision making that may increase the odds of personal injury of ourselves and others around us. When. mental exhaustion takes a grip, and human error is more likely to occur when we have no energy or stamina to stand on our feet for eight hours a day to complete the days tasks. The disadvantages of no healthcare, and a deprived diet are many and snowball, " People who are homeless have higher rates of illness and die on average 12 years sooner than the general population. An injury an illness can start out as a health care condition but quickly lead to an employment problem due to exhaustive sick leave or the performance of regular work functions."(https://nhchc.org/wp-content/homeless2014)
Lack of nutrition and access to healthcare leads to stressors that have negative psychological and physiological impacts for our mental health and physical ability as health and nutrition effect functionality. Without health care an undiagnosed symptom can progress to a full blown uncurable life-threatening disease. "Homeless people are twice as likely to have unmet medical care needs." (https://www.forbes.com/sites/sachinjain2014) Mental illness is one of the primary means of houselessness and without access to healthcare, and medical attention medical issues go unresolved, and progress. For example, access to quality food and nutrition plays a vital role in human sustainability. Food provides the "fuel for life" Macro and micronutrients, vitamins and minerals which consist of proteins fats, carbohydrates, minerals and ions. This is what the human physiological system needs to function properly and gives us the ability to be sharp, think fast, be quick on our feet to meet our goals and to work at a greater efficiency. When your nutritional needs are not being addressed then even the simplest of tasks becomes a confusing obstacle. And this absolutely applies to children in our public school system. If children are not meeting their nutritional needs are more likely to drop out of school, which can have a domino effect that leads to a free way to houselessness. 'Homeless individuals often experience difficulty accessing treatment and preventative care due to lack of insurance, lack of transportation and the high cost these barriers lead to a greater utilization of emergency services and higher rates of hospitalization.' (https://ihpl.iiu.edu/blog/disparities-health-care-homeless2023) The health and security risks for houseless individuals become fragile and become vulnerable to harm from others and personal safety become severely compromised. "Homelessness dramatically undermines personal and community health status throughout their life span, children, elders and all who are chronically unsheltered confront cumulative health determinates of exposure violence and poor nutrition. With limited access to hygiene opportunities and health services people experiencing homelessness endure poor continuity of care and some of the poorest health outcomes tolerated in the U.S. health care system."(https://journalofethics.ama.assn.org/issues/health-care-homeleness.)
