Best Answer

Bulimia causes extensive damage to the esophagus and throat. Powerful stomach acids will permanently scar or ulcerate the sensitive tissues. The acid will dissolve teeth. Vomiting blood is common after repeated bulimic episodes and can be associated with internal bleeding.

Bulimia throws blood chemistry wildly off; sometimes this is so severe that nerves stop working and blood stops transporting oxygen.

Why is anorexia a risky weight-loss strategy---Write a brief paragraph that defines and explains its risk?

First of all, the best way to lose weight is to work out for at least 45 minutes a day, eat healthy foods, and drink lots of water. Anorexia is an extremely risky weight-loss strategy because you starve your body of the nutrients that is desperately needs to survive. When you starve your body, you are not getting any protein, which means that you will not have any energy. You are also starving your body of many other important nutrients. Anorexia is a mental illness-not a weight loss strategy. Your body cannot function properly if it is not fed.
