The Long Term Effects of Eating Disorders

The long term effects of eating disorders could be devastating, to say the least. Unfortunately, these effects may never be linked back to their causes. The issue with humans is that many a time effects show only gradually. Consequently, man learns from effects or experiences slowly. How would people associate a common ailment as arthritis to eating disorders? It is thought to be an ageing process disease. But is it? Ever bothered to check out the eating styles of the victims?

I made a great observation which I discussed fully on my website. A particular set of people in my part of the globe are binge victims or gross overeaters. Compared to the rest of the tribe, these people suffer arthritis most. It is accepted that as they go along they begin to suffer it. Some of them start experiencing it as from forty years of age. Remember their peculiarity? They eat most. Size-wise, they are larger. I had slipped disc years after I had my last bout with anorexia. At the time I had the experience, I didn’t remember that my romance with anorexia must have contributed quite some. It was handled in isolation. But I now know better. I was beginning to get the bite of osteoporosis caused by anorexia.

Notice that children or young adults who are victims of anorexia end up not really developing well physically. Their growth is impaired. Why? They starve their system at the time the said system needs nourishment most to expand and develop. Unfortunately, most of these are irreparable. Or could you make your nearly dwarfed twenty year old taller? Binge and anorexia nervosa cause sleeplessness. Protracted sleeplessness impairs brain functionality. This affects memory. For school children of different ages, this could result in poor academic performance. Talk of school dropouts? Remember, it’s rare to see an academically brilliant kid drop out of school.

Check juvenile delinquents. Many are eating-delinquents before the society noticed that they are juvenile delinquents. If a child’s system is running without control as a result of sugar overload, external controls by adults cannot keep him in place. There’s war within. Therefore, war without means little or nothing. But you could package your future. You could live truly healthy today and tomorrow. But that comes only as you learn to live free of eating disorders: anorexia, binge, bulimia, or the once-in-a-while overeating.
