BULIMIA 3

Bulimia is an eating disorder that was detected in 1980. It is characterized with two activities. They are purging and binging. Both of them are reverse processes. Binge eating is excessive eating. A person suffering with Bulimia tends to eat much more than a normal person. It is not due to increased hunger. Binging is a result of the physiological problem with a person. Such persons use food to comfort themselves. They become uncontrollable when they start to eat. They can consume more than 15,000 thousand calories at a time. It is a known fact that bulimic people like food rich in calories. They mostly indulge themselves in cakes, pizzas, burgers, aerated drinks, chocolates and alcohol. Bulimic people generally binge more than thrice a day. Where as purging is the adoption of wrong means to reduce weight. The people suffering with Bulimia go on to choose very unhealthy means to cut down weight. They use enemas and pills to make their stomach empty. They also vomit tentatively to take out what they eat. Bulimic people also practice fasting for longer periods of time with a lot of exercise. During Bulimia, the patient develops a cycle of purging and binging. It becomes a part of life. The person will binge and start purging. This phenomenon becomes a mania. The individual is concerned about his physical appearance but he also can not stop eating. Bulimia is harmful in many ways.
