Foods Eaten by the Lenape Indians. When we talk about the foods the early Lenape people ate we must remember that there were no supermarkets at which to buy the foods, and there were no refrigerators in which to store the food. The food had to be eaten very soon or it had to be prepared in various ways for storage so it could be eaten later.
Symptoms of malnutrition in adults. The most common symptom is a notable weight loss. For example, those who have lost more than 10% of their body weight in the course of three months and are not dieting could be malnourished. This is usually measured using the body mass index or the BMI.
A child with malnutrition may have: 1  Poor growth or weight loss, because the liver canât help the body use fat normally. 2  Rickets, a disease that causes not enough tissue in the bone (low bone density). Signs of rickets in infants include weakness.
