Anorexia, a familiar and unfamiliar word, most people may just laugh it off when they hear it. Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people, and anorexia is inevitable to sound funny.
However, there is a group of people who can't eat when you are running around and tired to make a living. They even feel nauseous and vomited when they see food.
Anorexia is a disease that will greatly harm the patient's physiology and psychology. What are the causes of anorexia and what are the initial symptoms of anorexia? Let's go down to understand together.
What are the initial symptoms of anorexia nervosa? Many people may not pay much attention to this, thinking it is merely due to weather conditions or recent gastrointestinal discomfort.
So, what exactly is anorexia nervosa? Anorexia nervosa patients are not necessarily characterized by extreme lack of appetite; they may have periods when they feel hungry but find it difficult to eat. Even if they do eat, they often feel full and their stomachs are bloated.
Some patients, however, exhibit a condition where they find themselves unwilling to eat even when very hungry. Despite this, they will force themselves to eat something in order to obtain energy.
At the initial stage of anorexia nervosa, even when seeing one's favorite food, there is a lack of interest in eating. Even if forced to eat, there will be vomiting afterwards.
This is a very unhealthy physiological state, and if it continues over time, it can have a significant impact on our body's normal functioning.
Many girls nowadays, in pursuit of a slimmer figure, resort to dieting as a means of weight loss. This approach is extremely unhealthy.
If it is serious, anorexia will occur, so girls must use reasonable and healthy methods to lose weight and be responsible for their own bodies and their families.
The reason for having anorexia is annoying and loathing about eating is actually hard to imagine. This is difficult to achieve from the perspective of the body's own needs.
So what are the reasons for anorexia? What kind of situation makes people have this kind of illegal instinct and changes in actions? First, children are anorexia.
Children's gastrointestinal digestive function has not yet been fully developed. If parents do not pay attention to children's diet during this process, children will eat miscellaneous foods and eat too many snacks and side foods.
When picky eaters do not eat meals, parents connive and ignore them, this situation can also lead to anorexia in children.
Secondly, weight loss, fear of gaining weight.
Many women, in pursuit of slimming down, are constantly afraid of gaining weight and struggling to maintain their figure.
Firstly, everyone would have a set of their own diets for weight loss, constantly worrying about the calories intake, afraid that too much fat intake could ruin their previous efforts.
To maintain a healthy physique, I fear overeating and develop an aversion to eating, which leads to a psychological disorder.
This kind of answer is all psychological reasons. If you feel that you are fat, you will be looked down upon and despised by others. It is understood that only a beautiful body that changes easily is the best. This general inner psychological pressure will be great. The appearance of anorexia is also related to emotions and psychology.
Symptoms of mild anorexia What happens to symptoms of mild anorexia? The people with anorexia that everyone knows are all skinny and skinny. They can't eat, and you can count the number of bones on their bodies. They are very serious people with anorexia.
But what is the situation like in the early stages of anorexia and how to cure it and get better? Being diagnosed as anorexia first is not as simple as being unable to eat a meal or two.
In fact, severe anorexia nervosa is more obvious, but mild anorexia nervosa is hard to distinguish and even the patients themselves do not admit they have symptoms of anorexia.
Secondly, anorexia nervosa does not merely manifest in eating habits; it can also present other complications, such as anorexia and malnutrition-induced mild depression.
I'm feeling down, my mood is bad, and looking at the world through a gray filter. I can't really get interested in anything anymore, and I tend to be easily irritated when faced with situations. I also have a hard time trusting others.
This is a case of neurotic anorexia, which requires psychological and psychiatric treatment to achieve good results.
Finally, anorexia nervosa in its early stages may also manifest as a weight below the normal range by 15%. Symptoms include bradycardia and vomiting. In women, menstrual periods may be absent for 2 to 3 months or longer.
These are all manifestations of mild anorexia, so we must pay attention to the changes in our bodies, recuperate and intervene promptly if any discomfort occurs.
The harm of anorexia When our immune system suffers from disease, viruses and bacteria can easily break through our bodies.
When our eating system is compromised, whether psychologically or physiologically, it can cause harm.
Now let's talk about the harm of anorexia. We are able to engage in normal social activities, our bodies grow and develop normally, and all functions are well-developed. These fundamental requirements for healthy growth are primarily fulfilled by consuming nutrients and energy.
If we can't eat, we won't be able to perform our daily activities and suffer from malnutrition, feeling weak and listless, with a significantly lower weight than what it should be.
Anxiety and irritability may recur, with a negative outlook leading to a decline in overall mental well-being. The complexion may appear dull, and there may be a sense of melancholy.
Over time, as well as the emergence of mental depression.
In the growth and development stage of children, if anorexia occurs, it cannot ensure the intake of nutrients needed for growth and development, leading to slowed development compared to other peers of the same age.
Issues related to body size and height are one concern, as are the various organs in the body, including the heart, lungs, stomach, and immune system. This can impact a child's future development and organ maturation during a critical period of growth and organ development.
Anorexia nervosa is not something that can be cured by simply eating more. If it were, there would be no anorexia nervosa.
How should anorexia be treated? First and foremost, it's important to maintain a calm mindset, accept your current state, and strive to change it.
But never take extreme measures to overeat, force yourself to eat more, or force yourself to eat hard. This will make you vomit more and make you suffer.
Find a dietitian to be responsible for your daily diet. He can arrange the diet you need and also provide the necessary trace elements.
When you can't supplement your nutrition through eating, you can choose a meal replacement nutritional supplement based on your situation.
If you have issues related to your mental health, it is also necessary to seek psychological treatment to change your thoughts and soothe your mind. It is essential to address the root causes of your problems from the beginning.
If a child exhibits symptoms of anorexia, it is important to consider whether zinc deficiency may be the cause.

Moreover, future dietary habits must be managed in a manner that does not overindulge; corrective measures must be taken to rectify the child's improper eating habits to help them return to normal eating patterns.
