Anorexia and Eating Disorder

Introduction

There is no link that relates to the food we eat in our daily lives, and eating disorders such as anorexia. These have become very much prevalent in the previous years.

It can also be explained as now we have to take this decision of what should we eat in association to what we desire to be and how we care about our looks.
