Thanks for watching the video. Now, let’s talk a little about EATING DISORDERS ….

I don’t know what prompted me to want to write about this today — maybe it was a radio program that was on the public radio station this morning. Maybe it’s just seeing the pressures our society puts on people about being thin. We have the peer pressures, fast food availability, cultural practices — all focusing on our body weight and making us feel that the only way to beauty is to be thin.

Is it any wonder that our kids develop such awful eating habits? So many children are either over eating or eating way too little. And the type of foods they choose to eat only exacerbate the dangers of developing an eating disorder. And, in most cases, with younger people, we are allowing them to make food choices when they don’t have a clue what constitutes good nutrition. We’ve shirked our responsibility as parents and guardians.

Eating disorders can be very dangerous — but we also need to recognize that they are treatable. The most common types of eating disorders are bulimia and anorexia nervosa. Many of these disorders develop in adolescence, although there are cases where younger children and older adults may also be diagnosed.

It’s not uncommon for an eating disorder to coincide with other psychiatric disorders such as anxiety or depression. Those who suffer with eating disorders are also likely to experience a number of physical health problems such as heart conditions or kidney failure. Conditions such as these can become serious enough to lead to death. So it’s essential to recognise and treat an eating disorder as soon as possible.

The most common of these disorders is anorexia nervosa. It’s estimated that between 0.5% and 3.7% of females have anorexia nervosa at some time during their lifetime. In the early stages, this is often not easy to diagnose because the person suffering will use several devious methods to hide it. However, there are ways to help you recognize it. If you see….

– A desire to maintain a body weight that is below normal for their age and height.
– Evidence of fear of getting fat even though they are obviously thin.
– Evidence of a distorted opinion of what is a healthy body shape or weight.
– Menstrual periods that may become irregular or cease altogether (in females who have reached puberty).
– That eating becomes a focus in their lives — an obsession with avoiding meals or eating certain foods in very small quantities.
– That the individual begins to measure and weigh their food.
– That they begin to compulsively exercise.
– Them vomiting or using laxatives, diuretics or enemas.

If you spot any of these signs or symptoms in someone you live with, it is vital that you seek help as soon as possible.
