Briefly describe the physical effects of eating disorders. What are some of the signs of anorexia and bulimia?
What will be an ideal response?
Eating disorders take a toll on the body, including malnutrition and dehydration. There may also be long-term damage to the liver, kidneys, and heart. For example, while a normal heart is covered in a thin layer of fat, a heart from an anorexic patient has no outer fat, and it is significantly smaller in comparison to a normal heart. Symptoms of anorexia include (1) either refusing to eat or consuming small portions, (2) a fear of gaining weight, and (3) abnormal weight loss. Symptoms of bulimia include (1) overeating (binging) and purging and (2) use of laxatives or diet pills after large amounts of food are consumed.
