Well, whatever the reason, if you feel like eating all the time or not eating at all then in all probability you are affected by the syndrome of eating disorders which can be really dangerous to your health and fitness. Here I am about to tell you the real facts of bulimia, which is over-eating, and anorexia, which is under-eating, so you know what a balanced diet is.
Bulimia
Bulimia is an eating disorder in which people eat more than necessary and then purge it out and if this process of eating and purging continues, it can have serious repercussions on one's health. Both the mental and the physical health can get affected leading to high anxiety, depression, gastric ulcer and dehydration.
Anorexia
The eating disorder in which people avoid eating any kind of food to remain thin and slim is called Anorexia. One of the main disorders with anorexics is that they always perceive themselves as overweight even when they are under-weight and then stay hungry by inflicting self starvation. This kind of over starvation leads to different damages on the body and ultimately it can be quite traumatic emotionally and psychologically. This perennial fear of gaining weight and have a misperception of their own body leads to poor metabolism and lack of control over one's reflexes and moods.
Eating disorders can be seen widely among the people in the film and entertainment industry and also among young girls and boys who are in the growing up stages. Starving oneself to achieve size zero does not necessarily fall into the category of enhancing one's beauty. and not many understand the fact that all that matters is inner beauty.
