A bad nutrition increases the risk in certain clinic situations and overfeeding can have terrific effects because it may desequilibrated the metabolism. The food of an ancient person requires a special attention: it must be soft and easily chewed. They do not tolerate abundant meals and radical changes on daily diet must be avoided. In the present work we analize the nutrition on an ancient person, its characteristics and nutritional requirements, as good as the nutritional effects on the edentale patient.
