Anorexia Nervosa


 I have read an article about “anorexia nervosa” before from the internet: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/267432.php


        What is anorexia nervosa? Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that makes people think they are not skinny enough, and need to lose weight to be more beautiful. Sufferers of anorexia nervosa often restrict his or her food intake to the point of starvation. This illness can result in digestive disorders, and even worse, death.

        Some people become anorexic because they are stressed, unhappy, or have anxiety. If you detect that your friends or a family member are abruptly weight loss, exercising a lot, picking at the food, and fearing of gaining weight, they may be anorexic. Signs to ensure that they may have anorexia nervosa are that he or she suffers from insomnia, has brittle hair and nails, or withdraws from family, friends, and society.

        The main reasons that some teenagers and children get anorexia nervosa are because of the influence of their parents, peers, and the media. They look how their parents eat, and how media promotes “thin as beautiful.” Moreover, many women, especially adolescent ones, are easily influenced by the fashion and beauty industry. Looking at any fashion or woman’s magazines on the market, they always show models that are underweight. This instills an abnormal idea into women’s minds that they need to be skinny in order to be sexually attractive. Perhaps the primary reason that these women become anorexic is because they’d like to attract more love in their life.


        Recovering from anorexia nervosa is possible. It is important to seek help immediately if you find that you or someone you know has anorexia nervosa. The earlier you seek help the closer you are to recovery.

  1. The picture below really shocked me! I think being slim are most girls' dreams. But we all should use a healthy way instead of aggressive one. The most important thing is to know we are all beautiful just the way we are:) We do not live for someone else, it is ourselves that have the right to decide who we are:)

  3. How happy it is when eating delicious food!!!!!!!!! I just couldn't get the point why some people want to refuse eating but lose the joy of enjoying the delicacy. Eating is one of my favorite hobbies, therefore, there is no way I would suffer from anorexia nervosa.
