The Skinny On Being Healthy

Anorexia nervosa definitely hovers at the top of the list of horrors that parents hope to never surface in their children’s physical and mental makeup. At least one in 100 teenage girls in affluent countries is known to be affected by this disorder.
Anorexia is a condition that must be avoided and must be discouraged from the very start itself. While weight loss that has gone out of control (anorexia) is said to be prevalent among young adolescent girls, young boys are not known to suffer from this eating disorder as well.

Karen Carpenter of the Carpenters fame succumbed to cardiac arrest caused due to anorexia at the age of 32. Franz Kafka, the famous writer has been suspected to have suffered from a form of anorexia. Christy Henrich, who wanted to qualify for the U.S. Olympic gymnast team became anorexic and finally succumbed to organ failure at the age of 22.
