Are you eating healthy food? We have rounded up the best collection of eating disorder quotes, sayings, captions, and status messages (with images and pictures) to inspire you to have a clean diet and eat healthy and nutritious food.
An eating disorder is when someone begins eating too much, or when someone begins to avoid eating. This affects one’s mental and physical health. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are two of the most well-known eating disorders today.
Severe and persistent disturbance in eating behaviors and associated distressing thoughts and emotions are the main characteristics of an eating disorder. They can be very serious conditions affecting physical, psychological, and social function.
Eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatening conditions that affect a person’s emotional and physical health.
They are not just a “fad” or a “phase.” People do not just “catch” an eating disorder for a period of time. They are real, complex, and devastating conditions that can have serious consequences for health, productivity, and relationships.
If you are over eating, under-eating or your eating habits are not just right and affecting your health, then reach out your doctor or physician for proper consultation.
