The lack of biological parents has a significant effect on a childs growth and overall welfare. This study examines the circumstances of children living in orphanages where one or both parents have passed away, as well as children from middle-class households. The main focus is on their lifestyle, nutritional status, and well-being. We performed a chi-square test and descriptive analysis to establish a correlation. Our research revealed that orphaned children in the orphanage tend to mostly consume carbohydrate-rich foods in their diet. Inadequate access to nourishing food can impede their capacity to sustain optimal physical and mental well-being. Furthermore, the absence of recreational amenities in the orphanage may impede their mental well-being, as they already experience psychological challenges due to the absence of parental affection. Children from middle-class households are often exposed to a significant amount of unhealthy fast food and bakery items. This practice should be discontinued in order to promote a healthier society.
