10 Common Eating Disorders
Common Eating Disorder #4: Anorexia Athletica
We are often told that we should spend time exercising and it is advice that we should listen to. Among other things, it can help us to lose excess weight by helping us to burn off calories. While this is recommended as being healthy for us overall, it can lead to an eating disorder in some people.
People with anorexia athletica will count the calories they have consumed with the intention of burning those calories off through exercise. While it may sound reasonable in theory, it could lead to people over-exercising as a result. This can lead to injuries and fatigue and could even lead to serious complications with vital organs.
