Extreme And Anorexia Diet, Obsession Of Langsing Can End In Death

JAKARTA - Extreme diets can pose various serious health risks, including metabolic disorders, malnutrition, and even death.

A diet method that is too strict, such as eating only water or avoiding food for a long time, can cause the body to lack energy and essential nutrients.

As a result, the function of vital organs is disrupted, which can lead to serious health complications, including heart problems, organ damage, and mental disorders such as anorexia.

An 18-year-old girl in India lost her life after undergoing an extreme water diet for months without professional guidance. The teenager is suffering from severe hunger that causes serious health complications.

The doctor who handles this case says the girl is experiencing anorexia, which is a life-threatening eating disorder. He is experiencing severe malnutrition, as well as shrinkage of important organs such as stomach and concavity due to inadequate food intake.

According to Medical Daily, Dr. Nagesh Prabu explained that anorexia is a eating disorder as well as a mental health problem that makes sufferers feel overweight, even though they actually have normal weight or even below healthy standards.

This disorder can arise due to various factors, such as genetics, stress, trauma, social pressure, bullying, harassment, criticism of body shape, as well as an obsessive or compulsive nature that a person has.

"Aneuxia sufferers can lose their complete hunger, and in the case of Sreenanda, the levels of sodium and sugar in their bodies drop drastically so that they cannot be restored," said Dr. Prabhu.

Anorexia can attack anyone, but it is more common in adolescents who are more vulnerable to social pressure and physical changes. Symptoms of anorexia can be seen from a physical, emotional, and behavioral perspective.

From a physical perspective, patients may experience drastic weight loss, extreme fatigue, dizziness, constipation, and always feel cold. Some also experience swelling in the hands and legs, stomach pain, and difficulty sleeping.

Behaviorally, they may do excessive exercise, fear of weight rising, and have an obsession with appearances, such as constantly reflecting or wearing layered clothes to hide the body.

Emotionally, people with anorexia tend to be offended easily, experience drastic mood swings, and withdraw from the social environment.

Prolonged strict diets can cause various serious complications, such as repetitive curvature, difficulty concentrating, bad mood, increased anxiety, stress fracture, and decreased bone mass.

Because malnutrition has a direct impact on the brain, many anorexia sufferers do not realize that they need treatment or even reject it. If not overcome, anorexia can cause anemia, heart and kidney disorders, osteoporosis, low blood pressure, organ failure, brain damage, and even death.

It is important for individuals who want to lose weight to choose a healthy diet method and get guidance from professional medical personnel to avoid life-threatening risks.
