Binge-Eating Disorder Many people are affected by overeating compulsions and binge eating is a disorder I am very interested in exploring. We all overeat from time to time. Taking an extra helping at Thanksgiving dinner or having dessert when you’re already full. But for binge eaters, overeating is regular and uncontrollable.

Eating Disorders The two main eating disorders faced are Anorexia and Bulimia. Anorexia Nervosa, commonly called Anorexia, is an eating disorder in which the person loses more weight than what is considered healthy.

of Cultivating Good Reading Habits Mark Twain once said, “The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man that cannot read them”. How true, for those who do not read are no better off than those who cannot read.

Due to the demands of the rush-day-to-day living of individuals, it is now but natural for them to prefer foods offered by fast-food
religions today. The lack of mechanisms to refrigerate or preserve foods led to certain rituals, such as the draining of blood from slaughtered animals, while restrictions on the eating of foods known to spoil easily, such as eggs, dairy products, and meats, were devised for safety reasons.

Eating Disorders and the Media What if you were surrounded by media messages telling you that, “people will like you more if you have the perfect body” or “being perfect makes people like you” ?
