! The fourth main effect is amenorrhea. The cite tells, “Amenorrhea is the loss of menstrual cycle, or periods, in women. A low body mass index and low body fat levels disable the body’s ability to menstrual. Amenorrhea can cause a loss of calcium from the bones, loss of bone density and the loss of the ability to have children.” The last main physical effect is hypernatremia. Eating Disorder.org says “Hypernatremia is the deficiency of sodium in the blood. If one drinks too much especially if someone is already malnourished or dehydrated, can cause fluid in the lungs, nausea, vomiting, and even death.

Question:+My+daughter+has+a+serious+eating+disorder.+She+knows+that+she+must+stop+but+she+is+not+ able+to+stop.+What+shall+I+do+for+my+daughter?

Answer:If your daughter suffers from an eating disorder, or predict that she may be suffering from an eating disorder, do something about it. The best thing you can do for your daughter is to be there for her. Your daughter must know that you are concerned for her and she can come and talk to you confidentially at any time. If you show the attitude, your daughter will want to receive your help. If she does have an eating disorder, you will have to know about it sooner or later. People who develop eating disorders tend to have negative body image and poor self-esteem, so your daughter may also want to seek out a way to talk about what is bothering her and what support does she need to overcome the eating disorder. If you are worried about her, you can go to hospital.
