Anorexia

Anorexia is a phenomenon of eating disorder that mainly affects girls and young woman, we can recognize sick woman with some facts. Usually she has a low body weight and refuses to keep a normal body weight. A more certain fact is she believes she is fat, even when she's very thin. There are some causes of anorexia. The main cause is a cultural problem. Some cultures in the US, have an ideal of extreme thinness in women, they may define themselves on how beautiful they are. If one women has anorexia, her body doesn't get the energy from foods
that it needs so it slows down. And also it would be harder for her to get pregnant. But we have some ways to get better. She must get back to a healthy weight. Or treatmant of medicines that help reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. Then she will be comfortable in mind and healthy.

I think anorexia is a universal problem. Because anorexia is a common problem for girls or young women, not only in the United States but also in many other countries. So we have to make a solution for this phenomenon. A woman who has anorexia always suffers from an imperative idea that she has to be thin. She thinks a thin body is beautiful. But that thinking is wrong. The true beauty is a healthy body with healthy mind. So we have to let every person know. Then people's thinking will be changed so there is no woman who suffers from anorexia, ever.

I went to Women's health.gov - overview website
