anorexia nervosa-a fond farewell

Book Abstract by: maristel02     

Original Author: mark stuart ellison
Anorexia nervosa, one of the world''s major health problems. In this article, the author himself depicts everything about
anorexia nervosa. His mother died just because of anorexia nervosa. What is anorexia nervosa? Was it really a health disease or a psychological disease. Maybe your answer is both. Anorexia nervosa is a serious eating disorder and a life threatening one. Everyone''s dream is to have a perfect body. It''s just like you''re being one of the top models who would walk along the aisle just to be noticed. But this is not easy. It is often misunderstood that anorexia nervosa would be one of the ways just to lose weight. This condition is characterized by starving oneself and not eating at all. Anorexic people love to collect cook books but they won''t eat and cook for themselves. They often avoid parties and all ocassions related to food. They often starve themselves, measuring inch by inch of their waists and even weighing themselves over and over again. And then, they come unnoticed that they were already malnourished and not gaining the right type of nutrition in their bodies. The author says that, though anorexia is a big problem, you can only mend it by yourself, by seeking help from families, friends and other health team members. By just loving oneself, we just deserve better.
