eating disorders

June 14th, 2007 by alameda

I thought obesity had overtaken the “thin” eating disorders as the major nutrition-related health risk. Apparently, there is a lot of interest in thinspiration. These conditions are complex but all have a nutrition component that needs to be part of the solution.

A non-diet approach provided by a facilitated support group that explores the emotional, physical and spiritual issues is missing an important aspect of the problem. Learning to eat a healthy well-balanced “diet” is essential to long-term success. They need the nutritional knowledge and “tools” to go along with the rest of the help they are getting to overcome a serious health issue.

Health issues associated with eating disorders

Eating disorders can result in cardiac arrhythmia – one of the signs of potassium and sodium depletion. Other signs include extreme fatigue, shakiness and tremors. Blurry vision, passing out during exertion (like PE class), difficulty remembering things.

Some symptons that can indicate the need for further assessment are drowsiness and lethargy; dry skin, brittle nairs and hair; presence of lanugo (fine, downy hair on limbs); constipation; anemia; low heart rate and blood pressure; erosion of tooth enamel; osteopenia (loss of skeletal mass), ammenorhia, delayed sexual development; and compulsive exercising.

Disordered eating can cause a number of long term effects, including reduced bone formation, leading to osteoporosis; starvation induced brain changes; kidney damage, and cardiac abnormalities.

Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26)

Preventing Eating Disorders in Alberta: “Making the Most of ME”
http://www.centre4activeliving.ca/publications/research_update/2004/December.htm

The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) was the screening instrument used in the 1998 National Eating Disorders Screening Program. The EAT-26 is probably the most widely used standardized measure of symptoms and concerns characteristic of eating disorders.

lifestraw

June 13th, 2007 by alameda

As a personal and mobile water purification tool, LifeStraw® is designed to turn most of the surface water into drinking water, thus providing access to safe water

Sharing a passion to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of ‘reducing by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water’ by the year 2015, we recognize the immense sense of urgency.

At any given moment, about half of the world’s poor are suffering from water-related diseases, of which over 6,000 – mainly children – die each day by consuming unsafe drinking water.

Today, 1.1 billion people are without access to safe drinking water
