eating disorders
The most common are
-
Bulimia
People who suffer from bulimia tend to often eat large quantities of food without any control and then they self-induce vomiting or fasting to prevent to gain weight.
Binge eating
is similar to bulimia but unlike bulimia people with such a disorder don't vomit after eating a lot of food but they often feel very guilty after the binge eating and so tend to eat alone, away from other people.
Orthorexia
is a compulsive obsession with eating only a very limited range of foods they consider "healthy" but that in fact they don't and so they tend to check obsessively all the ingredients lists and the nutritional labels of the foods they buy.
CAUSES
-
social and cultural factors like the strong influence by social networks on many young people as they provide unreal beauty models, which may develop an eating disorder
the CONSEQUENCES
are SERIOUS both for
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH as these disorders may lead to a serious lack of nutrients like in anorexia and orthorexia disorder or to obesity or diabetis in people with boulimia.
PREVENTION
To prevent eating disorders people need
the support of family, friends or nutrition expert or psychologists to help teenagers to understand the risks of a distorted image of one's body and to teach them the proper eating habits..
An eating disorder is a serious disorder in eating behaviour which involves a real obsession with food, weight and physical appearance and affects especially teenagers.
