The most serious consequence of excessive dieting is death. The most representative is Isabel Carroll, a 28-year-old former French model. Carol is 1.65 meters tall and weighs only 33 kilograms. She once appeared in a series of public service advertisements to prevent anorexia because she was skinny, and once became a "model zero". Carol once said: "I use my pain to send a message: ultra-thin means danger and will eventually lead to death." 20 10, 1 1, carol finally died of severe malnutrition due to anorexia.
Anorexia is called anorexia nervosa in medicine, which belongs to a kind of neurosis, and the patients are mostly women. At first, patients only ate less and drank less in order to lose weight. Later, they became uninterested in food and lost their appetite. Later, they gradually formed a compulsive concept and even did not eat or drink, resulting in a serious weight loss.
Other hazards of excessive dieting include:
1. leads to anemia. Dieting leads to low metabolic rate, slow gastrointestinal movement and low gastric acid secretion, which is not conducive to the absorption of nutrients and leads to anemia and secondary anemia.
2. lead to amenorrhea. In the case of excessive dieting, the body fat is too low, the cerebral cortex is dysfunctional, the secretion of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone is insufficient, and then the estrogen and progesterone secreted by the ovary are also reduced, leading to amenorrhea. The longer the duration of amenorrhea, the lower the chance of cure and the more serious the harmful consequences to women's health.
3. Induce gallstones. Under normal diet, fat and cholesterol enter the small intestine, and the gallbladder transports bile like the small intestine. However, when the intake of fat and cholesterol is sharply reduced and hunger occurs, the bile transported from the gallbladder to the small intestine will be reduced, and excess bile will accumulate in the gallbladder and coexist with bile salts to form stones.
4. Lead to osteoporosis. For women, besides ovaries, adipose tissue is also an important tissue to produce estrogen. When excessive dieting leads to the reduction of fat intake and body fat content at the same time, the production of estrogen in ovary and adipose tissue will be greatly reduced, which will lead to a large loss of bone and osteoporosis.
5. hair loss. Hair growth needs a certain amount of sulfur-containing amino acids, which cannot be synthesized by human body, and must be provided by protein. If the daily intake of protein is less than 50g, it will affect the growth of hair. In addition, the health of hair needs trace elements such as zinc, iron and copper to maintain. Therefore, excessive dieting or vegetarians will lead to hair loss due to insufficient intake of protein and trace elements.
Finally, one more thing: when you start to lose weight, you must not overeat for speed. If you have been on a diet for a while, your body will begin to undergo pleasant changes. Have you noticed? However, losing weight is still expensive. Everyone must persist in order to have a good figure.
