The document discusses body image and eating disorders. It provides statistics showing eating disorders have increased threefold in the last 50 years, primarily affecting young women. The three main types of eating disorders are described as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. Risk factors for developing an eating disorder include personality/psychological factors, family influence, and media/cultural pressures related to unrealistic beauty standards portrayed in Western culture. Treatment can be challenging as those suffering may not be motivated to change or recognize the severity of the problem.
Most Frequently Asked Questions about Anorexia and BulimiaEllern Mede
Anorexia (also known as anorexia nervosa) and bulimia (also known as bulimia nervosa) are two of the most common eating disorders in the U.K. These are also the most dangerous eating disorders as they can manifest immediate and future health concerns, sometimes long-range problems, depending upon how long the condition exists. If you or someone you know has an eating disorder, please don’t wait. Seek information now and get help.
Why Does Anorexia Affect More Women Than Men?Ellern Mede
Eating disorders tend to go beyond the boundaries of needing to be skinny with restricted-eating habits; most seem to be attached to the sufferer psychologically. That is to say — the psychological factor is often the instigator behind a sufferer believing they are fat, overly fat, or even verging on the side of being obese.

In a matter of seconds, most children can mimic a movie or TV character,
sing an advertising jingle, or give other examples of what they have learned from media. Sadly, these examples may include naming a popular brand of beer, eating junk, obsessive-compulsive buying, striking a “sexy” pose, or play fighting. Children only have to put a movie into the VCR, open a magazine, click on a Web site, or watch TV to experience all kinds of messages. It really is that easy.
Media offer entertainment, culture, news, sports, and education. They are an important part of our lives and have much to teach. But some of what they teach may not be what we want children to learn.
This lecture gives an overview of some of the messages media send young people that could be negative or harmful to their health. You will learn how you can teach your children to better understand the media messages they see and hear in print, over airwaves, on networks, or on-line and how to deal with it.

Over one-half of teenage girls and one-third of teenaged boys use unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, smoking, fasting, vomiting, or taking laxatives.
Eating disorders are a group of illnesses exhibiting a progressive course of distorted thinking and behaviors. They are characterized by loss of control over one’s relationship with food and eating. These illnesses have developmental, biological, familial, and socio-cultural roots. Recovery is about achieving balance and healthy nurturance in one’s life.
More than 11 million men and women in the United States struggle with an eating disorder. To raise awareness and understanding of these devastating diseases, Eating Recovery Center, a behavioral hospital focused on comprehensive treatment and sustainable recovery for eating disorders, has developed this Blogger’s Guide to Eating Disorders. This guide offers information and resources to support your stories about America’s deadliest mental illness.

Antimicrobial stewardship to prevent antimicrobial resistanceGovindRankawat1
India is among the nations with the highest burden of bacterial infections.
India is one of the largest consumers of antibiotics worldwide.
India carries one of the largest burdens of drug‑resistant pathogens worldwide.
Highest burden of multidrug‑resistant tuberculosis,
Alarmingly high resistance among Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive bacteria even to newer antimicrobials such as carbapenems.
NDM‑1 ( New Delhi Metallo Beta lactamase 1, an enzyme which inactivates majority of Beta lactam antibiotics including carbapenems) was reported in 2008

Ask participants to get in small groups (4-5 people) and brainstorm messages they’ve received about food or eating. In each group, someone should volunteer to keep a list of the messages. Examples of messages: People who eat too much have no self-control. Carbohydrates are bad. Sweets are bad. You have to be careful of the Freshman 15. etc. After about 3-4 minutes, ask them to discuss in their groups: How are messages about food different for women and men? (Women should watch what they eat to stay thin.) After 3-4 minutes, have a large group discussion of these questions.
Similar to bulimia, however there is no purging, fasting, or excessive dieting to compensate for the binges Some may eat continuously throughout the day Some binge on large amounts of food at once Relieve feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression Not officially recognized in the DSM Significantly overweight History of family obesity Frequent dieting 30% of individuals in weight loss programs could be diagnosed with this disorder
dropping below the 85th percentile of what is considered to be normal for a particular age and height limited to only a few select food items People starve themselves, subsisting on little or no food for very long periods of time The fear of gaining weight or becoming fat is extremely intense Rather than lessening as weight drops, this fear usually worsens Perceived body weight and body shape are severely distorted Even when drastically underweight most individuals with this disorder will see themselves as being overweight
such as chewing each bite of food a certain number of times.
Wide rage of caloric intake- what constitutes a binge is not caloric intake, but feelings of being out of control- such as eating one cookie, or one doughnut may consume 2,000-10,000 calories in a single day, and will usually prefer high-calorie foods such as sweets and fast food People with Bulimia do not tend to show the gross distortions (delusions) in their body image as people with anorexic do
Because a binge is a way to deal with negative feelings
Anorexia in teens, bulimia in early 20’s This makes it very hard for family and friends to even notice that anything is wrong likely to have a more accurate perception of their body than those who are anorexic readily acknowledge to themselves that there is a problem with their behavior in regards to food
Cardiovascular Complications – slowness of heart hear, irregular heat beat, heat failure Yellowing of the skin, Impaired taste, Hypoglycemia Fluid and Electrolyte Complications – Dehydration, Weakness Hematological Complications – Susceptibility to bleeding, Anemia Endocrine Complications – Amenorrhea, Lack of sexual interest, Impotence Dental problems Gastrointestinal complications retarded bone growth risk for developing osteoporosis. The body temperature in lowered, as well as the heart rate and blood pressure. Anemia, dry skin, and fluid retention may also be experienced. Metabolic changes make it more difficult to gain back weight in recovery Kidney disease/failure
The consequences for anorexia are numerous, and as many as 20% will die from complications of malnutrition.
There are many considerations that go into the probability of whether one may or may not be affected. Although culture plays a part, individual differences are important in explaining why only some women develop eating disorders Need to be considered from a multifactoral point of view These will be discussed separately, but in reality can be seen as having a complex, interactive relationship.
100lbs Good person; 110 lbs Bad Person People who feel lots of pressure from many directions – school, home, work, and feel they must be perfect yet are out of control. It is often the number 1 student in law and med school who will be seen with eating disorders. Perfectionists have a higher rate of ED. described as being overachievers Dichotomous Thinking – Everything is all good or all bad. They may think if they eat one cookie that they have blown their diets and might as well eat the whole box Bulimic women in contrast may tend to expect too much of themselves only in the limited areas of dieting, body size, and social situations
because they are less likely to internalize the thinness standards society has set rejection of the traditional feminine gender role does not seem to make a difference thin is more of a protective factor than actually being thin
It is seen as a way to become more popular, more assertive, and even as leading to getting a better job. This idea keeps the focus on body image as a way of improving lives.
A study by Crandall (1988) of sorority members indicates that peer influence is strong in the development of bulimia. Members who did not binge and purge at the beginning, were doing so by the end of their first year. Because they tend to be praised for their looks, they may come to put more of their self-worth in their appearance
Reading magazines, which focus on health, fitness, and beauty, has been found to be an even stronger factor in predicting disordered eating behavior than television we are not only influenced by the idea that thin people are rewarded, but also that fat people are punished. Festinger (1954) tells of the inherent way humans have of evaluating themselves with others.
Seated Bather – from Renoir – 1841 – 1919) Or, even if we look back only 40 years to Marilyn Monroe, we find that now she would be considered overweight. If we compare this to the models and celebrities of today we find drastic differences in weight.
Many theorists believe that the current Western standards of female attractiveness have contributed to increases in eating disorders. These standards have changed throughout history with a noticeable shift toward preference for a thin female frame in recent decades. Today, the average model weighs 23% less than the average American woman. One study that tracked the height and weight of playboy models and Miss America contestants found that a significant portion of these women met diagnostic criteria for anorexia. Women’s bodies in the media have become increasingly thinner. For instance, if we go back in time 150 years ago, we find that the ideal woman of the past was considerably larger than today’s ideal. This thin Ideal can be traced back to the British model Twiggy from the 60s. And to the heroine chick of the calvin klein models and kate moss.
Bulimia treatment resistance is often encountered because of the shame, embarrassment, and guilt. Lack of insight Not really about food. It is imperative to treatment that the origins of the behaviors be understood. Because eating disorders are not really about food, underlying psychological and emotional issues must be dealt with.
