Over the years, I have come into contact with too many girls who have depression due to dieting. There are also several mothers in the group who study nutrition for their teenage daughters in the group. Some children have been hospitalized and the effect is not satisfactory. They are as thin as wood and still dare not eat normally.
Weight loss has been reduced to amenorrhea, depression, anorexia and binge eating alternately, severe body anxiety has affected normal study and life. One child was shaking his legs in class because he was afraid of growing flesh. Even if he didn't move at night, he was worried that his legs would be thick.
For many girls who suffer from depression due to dieting, they do not need to take medicine, adjust their diet, and assist with psychological support, so they can get better without taking medicine. But the premise is to really let go of the obsession with weight, otherwise no matter how much medicine is taken, the fundamental problem will not be solved.
Every year, nearly one-quarter of Americans will suffer from some type of mental illness. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: By 2020, depression will become the second largest disease after heart disease. This is not just a problem for adults. Half of chronic mental illnesses begin to develop at the age of 14.
More and more studies have explored the relationship between diet quality and common mental disorders, including depression and anxiety in adults and children. The president of the Psychiatric Association of the International Nutrition Society said: A recent large sample of data shows that diet is equally important for mental health and physical health. A healthy diet has a protective effect on physical and mental health, while an unhealthy diet is a risk factor for depression and anxiety.
What's more serious is that bad emotions like depression and anxiety and depression can in turn steal the body's nutrition. Under the constant pressure of bad emotions, the stress response in the body will increase, and the consumption of various nutrients will also increase significantly.
Because under emergency conditions, various oxidation reactions of the body are accelerated, and antioxidant nutrients are rapidly consumed. If they are not replenished in time, the body is bound to be attacked by free radicals, leading to aging and disease.
In the adult world, whoever is not surrounded by stress and anxiety should stop letting diet increase our stress and anxiety index. It is not worth it to waste so much time every day on the trivial matter of losing weight; if it is because of dieting Caused physical and mental health damage, it can even be said to be quite irresponsible, to myself and to my parents.
Eat well, girls, let good food nourish and comfort our body and mind! A healthy diet will not make you fat, but it will make you exude beauty and charm from the inside out!
