Long Term Effects Of Bulimia
The long term effects of bulimia weigh more than their immediate and easy-to-notice effects.Heart Failure This is an alarming effect of bulimia.Purging by use of laxatives and vomiting weakens the heart.The electrolyte imbalance created by these bulimic actions could lead to heart attack. Potassium or other mineral deficiency which victims have as a result of purges and vomiting leads to heart block where the heart suddenly stops beating. Kidney Problems Toxins and other poisonous substances in the body are removed by kidneys.Their main function is to keep the system free from poisons.But when continually as a result of purging and vomiting there's mineral imbalance, the kidneys are strained trying to correct this.Excess toxins are present in the body system as a result of these abnormal bulimic lifestyle. Attempts to get rid of these toxins get the kidneys overworked. Next is either kidney infection or outright kidney failure. Diuretics abuse also contributes to these kidney problems. Teeth Decay Stomach acids attack teeth and their enamel resulting in high level sensitivity and teeth decay. Cavities (or holes) develop in the teeth. Victims go for filling. But as a result of continued exposure to more stomach acids, the cavities grow wider and the fillings give way. The teeth are eventually lost. Digestive Problems The digestive system is thrown into untold upheavals. It introduces abnormality to the digestion processes. Eat, eat and eat, and then, vomit or purge. Eventually, the stomach finds it difficult to work well. Victim experiences stomach pains, aches, bloating, and stomach ulcers. Phobia Bulimia victims suffer from attacks of fear even long after they have put bulimia behind them. They lived with fear of being caught vomiting. Even when the vomiting and/or purging stops, the fear lingers for pretty long. The torments could really be devastating. Menstruation Ceases In bulimic women, menstruation is adversely affected. It either ceases completely or becomes very irregular. This of course makes conception very difficult for victims. Brain Fog Because food eaten is not properly digested and glycogen released for the use of the brain, the brain undergoes 'malnutrition.' It doesn’t have enough to function on. The thinking process is slowed down. Victim becomes erratic and depressed. Because their productivity is lowered, they entertain suicidal thoughts. Underdevelopment Children and teens who live a bulimic lifestyle expose their systems to underdevelopment. They'll likely not attain their maximum height and proper development of their other body systems is compromised. Untimely Aging Bulimia victims age fast. Why not? The body systems are not well nourished. Hair loss, dry skin are common as a result protein and mineral depletion.
Long term effects of bulimia weigh too much for you to keep indulging in it. It is time to consider a way out.
