Here are some Medical Tips/Facts about EDs
1. If you are eating very little, make sure you are consuming some sodium (not too much) so that you don’t induce hypotension.
2. Make sure you eat a banana or potassium. Many people with EDs collapse without it.
3. Learn the difference between water soluble and fat soluble vitamins. In short, water soluble vitamins are flushed from your system after it extracts the needed bits. In fat soluble, the extra unused nutrients from the vitamins are stored in your fat/body and can become VERY toxic to you if you contain too much of it.
4. Do not exercise if you are fasting or have eaten very little. This can destroy your health so quickly.
5. If you aren’t eating enough for a very long time and are underweight, there’s a chance you will lose the ability to have kids/ make someone pregnant.
6. Laxatives and vomiting completely diminish you of electrolytes. Electrolyte potassium plays an important role in helping the heart beat and muscles contract. Make sure you replenish them via sports drinks, pickle juice, etc.
7. Your metabolism will crash. That’s why most former people with EDs end up rebounding into obesity.
8. Food restriction and/or vomiting will cause gastroenteritis. This in turn causes bloating and nausea (plus a whole slew of other symptoms.)
9. Severe binge eating has been known to actually rupture the stomach and cause a life-threatening condition.
10. The brain consumes around 1/5 of your consumed calories. Lowering your calorie consumption damages/impairs the brain.
11. You will lose your sex drive. The hormones, testosterone and estrogen, are produced by the fats and cholesterol we eat. If none present, the hormones fall.
12. Make sure you have some iron. You can self induce Anemia if you don’t.
13. Start recovering or encourage your followers to recover. We all know what damage we are doing to our bodies, so I don’t wish it on anyone else. Recover.
