As Susan Schulherr explains in Parks book, Teenage Eating Disorders, “all foods contains nutritions fluids that cannot be compensated for by drinking water alone. Severely limiting the intake of nutrients and fluids over time causes your body to become dehydrated. Severely restricting carbohydrates and fats can result in dehydration” (2012, p. 52). This kind of dehydration disrupts and reduces the levels of electrolytes in the body which causes sever problems for the body. Electrolytes purpose is to conduct electricity, meaning they trigger impulses that enable cells to communicate with one another (Parks, 2012). This simulates the heart to beat, and regulates the function of all body organs, such as muscles and nerves (Parks, 2012). However, these electrolytes also assist the body in maintaing normal fluid levels. Thus, restricting electrolytes through nutritions inevitably causes sever
