Do eat when you are not hungry? Have you seen any thin person going for a strict diet plan? What can be the consequences of overeating? Freddy replied. Bulimia is dangerous as it can cause other disorders too. It can cause problems to stomach as well as disturb the functioning of digestive system. This is because our body has a capacity of digesting limited food. If we overeat then body is unable to adjust the burden. Our digestive system is just like a machine, it breaks down if it is overloaded. Because of this our body has to face lots of disorders which can be observed as symptoms of bulimia. In this situation we should undertake all the daily activities on time. We should also follow some stress management techniques like yoga and meditation. Sandra replied. As the bulimic patient do all the things like binge eating or purging secretly, hardly any one can state that the person has bulimia. However when the diagnosis is difficult the treatment can also take lot of time. But treating bulimia at right time is very important. It is difficult to treat it when it becomes severe. Severe bulimia can also cause heart attacks and other heart problems. It can worsen the life of the affected person if not treated at an earliest. It is therefore essential to be aware of such disorders and avoid them. To avoid such disorders we should we should follow proper eating habits and only eat when hungry. Linnet replied. Bulimia can be influenced highly due to fashion trend of looking thin. I think models and actresses have higher risk of getting this disorder. I have also heard that when these modals and actresses have heavy lunch or dinner they vomit out everything. They do this so that the heavy and oily food does not affect their body. However it can affect a normal individual too, because of stress or tension. So it is very important to have food on right time, we should always keep this habit. We should have a proper time-table of doing each and every thing to get a healthy body.
