Violations of the conditions endanger the life of the mind directly through the binge eating and weight. Anorexia, compulsive eating disorders are more common in women than in men, and for the most part begins in youth, although this may be the power of all ages, nations and classified.
Genetics and the emotional and psychological problems at the root of many eating disorders. In addition, the thirst of our society for thinness and unrealistic ideals of beauty, which communicate in a variety of media, has led many to develop low self-esteem and negative body.
Hazards associated with disease and anxiety caused by or eating disorder behaviours
- Malnutrition - caused by malnutrition or obesity. The word malnutrition indicates a lack of energy, protein, and micronutrients (eg vitamin A, iodine and iron), either individually or in combination. This can lead to serious health risks, including (but not limited to) respiratory infections, kidney failure, blindness, heart attacks and death
- Dehydration - caused by the depletion or lack of fluid intake in the body, or restriction of carbohydrates and fats. Restriction / Starvation, vomiting and laxative abuse are the main causes of patients with eating disorders. Symptoms include dizziness, weakness and dark urine. This can lead to kidney failure, heart failure, seizures, brain damage and death.
- Electrolyte Imbalances - Electrolytes are needed to produce "a body of natural electricity" that ensures healthy teeth, bones and joints, nerve and muscle impulses, kidneys and heart, blood sugar and oxygen delivery to cells.
- Hyponatremia (related to "water-loading") - As stated above, electrolytes are necessary for normal body functioning. Drinking too much water (more than eight eight-ounce cups in less than twelve hours) can cause Hyponatremia (not enough sodium in the blood), especially in someone already malnourished or dehydrated. Hyponatremia can cause fluid in the lungs, the brain swells, death, nausea, vomiting, confusion and even.
- Refeeding Syndrome (related to treatment) - From starvation or malnourished patients may be life-threatening fluid and electrolyte shifts after the start of intensive treatment, including meals. This phenomenon is known as "refeeding syndrome" and may occur in patients receiving either enteral (tube feeding) or parenteral nutrition (intravenous feeding). To avoid the development of refeeding syndrome, nutrition support in patients at risk should be increased slowly, while providing a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. Organ function, fluid balance and electrolytes, serum (in particular, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium) should be monitored daily during the first week and then less frequently.
