ANOREXIA NERVOSA
Can you survive on one apple?
Anorexic people can !!
Hello, my intellectual readers hope all are doing great.
Eating Disorders had now become the part of our lives. It’s ironically true some of the
humans are struggling what to eat while some are struggling what not to eat or how to
eat.
This topic came in
my mind when my five year old kid said “No I will not eat more I wil become
fat”. I was like shocked but now a days truth is the same
Earlier teen age
youngsters and girls were considered to be more conscious towards weight loss and calorie counts. But now
most of us everyone whether old or young is conscious.
It
is good to keep BMI (Body Mass Index) in
control that is the ratio of weight in kg over height in metre squared. Optimum
BMI range is 18-25.
But excess of
everything is bad and same is this feeling or fear of getting fat leads to
compulsive form of Anorexia .
Anorexia refers to loss of appetite it may occur due to several reasons sometime because of some disease .
Anorexia nervosa
refers to avoid eating food as the person think it will make him or her fat.
It seems to be funny but it’s surprisingly a very serious affair it’s
a psychological disorder some times person is hungry but don’t want to eat as concerned
about his body weight. This in long run leads to malnutrition ,weakness ,vision
loss ,dementia and numerous other disorders.
Mostly psychological
interventions are used to treat it and aimed to maintain
normal body weight by taking
nutritious food in apt amount.
