Binge Eaters and Eating Disorders

Bnge eating is surpassing anorexia and bulimia. Today binge eating is affecting more people than anorexia and bulimia, 3.5 percent of women and 2 percent of men are affected by binge eating. Binge eaters are the ones that eat large amounts of food and do not purge. Anorexia affects 0.9 percent of women and 0.3 percent of men while bulimia affects 1.5 percent of women and 0.5 percent of men. Signs when a person is having a problem with eating disorders are when that person stops eating during a time and then they start eating large amounts of food excesses and they think that no one is seeing them. Binge eating has many risks like all of the eating disorders. Binge eaters have the risk to high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart diseases. In the USA government is working very hard to find new treatments for eating disorders and they are trying to stop eating disorders trying to do many things and trying to give the best help to people with these problems.

I am really very impressed. I did never think that binge eaters will be more common than people with bulimia or anorexia. But I still think that anorexia and bulimia is worst than binge eaters because specially those teenagers and adolescents are always being worried because of their bodies because they are never comfort with their bodies. One problem is that teenagers always see those famous people like actors, models, etc. they always want to be like them, so they always try to be thinner like those people. one example is Lindsay Lohan, she is an actress that suffer with bulimia and her fans wanted to be like her. I had never seen a famous person with binge eating problems, but I had see tons of people is the United States which each time is fatter and fatter. That is why I think that binge eating is surpassing anorexia and bulimia. I think that fast food restaurants has something to be with binge eating problems. Each time in the united states I see more fat food restaurants and some people get obsessed with them, for example Mc Donald’s. There are some documentaries that talks about this problems with fat people in the united states and specially with Mc Donald’s. I really think that is the time for people to start disappearing some of the Mc Donald’s restaurants because they are in all the united states and they are affecting to many people and I think that this should stop as fast as they can stop it.

Well, as you know all the weeks I will be telling you more information about eating disorders, each time I get more interested in this because each time I found more information and learn about eating disorders and things that I really get impressed like the one that I talked about that binge eaters are getting more common than anorexia and bulimia. But I think all those eating disorders should stop because they affect people and also kills people and I think is not a good think that we loose people only because they one to be to thin or they get obsessed with food and cant stop eating. I expect to learn more about eating disorders by the people who is also interested like me. Talk you later, Bye!
