Instead of starting an active lifestyle and changing eating habits, modern girls take on radical ways: significantly reduce portions or completely refuse to eat until the goal is achieved. That's why doctors and nutritionists sound the alarm: after all, 90% of people diagnosed with anorexia are girls aged 12 to 24 years.

The main factors of anorexia can be called psychological, biological (that is, predisposition to this type of eating disorder) and social, which includes fashion trends and dependence on the opinions of others.

In society, the following types of anorexia are common: purifying and restrictive. In the first case the girl in any way tries to get rid of the eaten food.

To do this, it specifically causes vomiting, cleansing enemas and t. In the second case, the patient consciously reduces to a minimum the amount of food consumed.

All this leads to a shortage in the body of not only vitamins and trace elements, but also the usual nutrients necessary to support vital processes. The result of anorexia is the exhaustion of the body, and in severe cases - and death. Doctors call this type of anorexia nervosa.
