Tuberculosis is a serious infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs. It is caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
It’s a vicious cycle: Poor nutrition can actually encourage the persistence of active tuberculosis diseases, and active tuberculosis leads to worsening malnutrition. So to keep your body primed to fight TB, you have to feed it right.
Tuberculosis can be prevented and if proper care is taken (which involves diet control, taking medications on time and regular doctor visit), the condition can be completely treated.
