Anorexia Nervosa

Nothing directly.

The World Bank is a source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. Their mission is to fight poverty with passion and professionalism for lasting results and to help people help themselves and their environment by providing resources, sharing knowledge, building capacity and forging partnerships in the public and private sectors.

Of all the challenges that are associated with poverty, Anorexia is fairly low on the list, and the Bank focus its efforts on larger, broader, and more systemic projects. Given that there are other significant global organizations who focus on medical and health issues (such as the World Health Organization), the bank is under very little pressure to address the issue of anorexia.

Anorexia is different from malnutrition and the Bank does have programs in place to address malnutrition.

Yes. There is a condition where the stomach digests and produces gases, but since there is no or little food to digest, the stomach produces to much of the gases and the stomach will expand and distend as a result.

You don't - this is a very unhealthy way to think and try and lose weight not to mention very dangerous. Chew sugarless gum. Ring a friend, etc. - do something that makes you stop thinking about food. No junk food. It takes some will power, and people will say that it's unhealthy, but, here goes. Drink fluids instead of eating food. That can be anything you can drink, Cokes and Pepsis included, they have syrup to keep you up; except they do have a lot of sugar. But, it still goes through you faster than food, and that's what you want. You want nothing to stick to you! Do it with water, any juice you like a lot, like cranberry, orange juice, apple. If you have to sink your teeth into something, eat fruit, worst case a salad. Also, throw three different kinds of fruit in a blender with a banana and you have a great shake, or malt, or smoothie or whatever you want to call it. If you have the budget, buy a real smoothie. The side effect is you may feel slightly spaced or light headed once in a while. If you can look past that, you're losing weight, and quickly too!!!

there are none

Anorexia can slow down the endocrine system as the body begins to become deprived of essential vitamins and nutrients. If the anorexia persists, the endocrine system can be permanently affected.

Usually it is only what is in the stomach (food, liquid, gastric juice / stomach acid, ect.). If there is enough force - and this is VERY dangerous - sometimes a person might throw up blood.

Anoreixa, which is the shortened name-version for anorexia nervosa, is an eating disorder. It is very dangerous and can often be deadly. Anorexia is characterized by a person's great fear of gaining weight, and strong desire to lose weight. To do so, they take drastic measures including strictly reducing or limiting their food, beverage, calorie, and fat intake along with increased, excessive exercise.

It is a model who is thin enough to be a Size 0.

Anorexia can cause serious health problems such as starvation. Anorexia also destroys your hair and nails.

Roughly 1 in every 250 women suffers from anorexia, which is a little less than 1%.

the term "anorexia" was very knew at the time, and very few knew it was a condition.

her loved ones knew she was getting thinner and not eating, but they didn't realise 'till it was too late how severe her condition (and that it even was a condition) was.

A bluish tinge will indicate that either a) you have poor circulation (which can indicate heart disease in extreme cases), or b) your body weight/ body fat % is too low. Low body weight + cold = blue nails. Hope I've been of some help =)

That would be a president.

Not really, no.

Is this a serious question? could you imagine a fund raiser for people who are so self important that they feel the need to vomit up a nice meal to look pretty? how could anyone feel sorry for a person like that? I attempted to answer your question with three of my own :)

if u actually starved yourself fo two weeks, yes, its possible and likely your natural cycle would be effected by this. I am not a medical professional.

Anorexia has only been a diagnosed disorder since the late 1800s, but written descriptions of people who might have suffered from anorexia date back to ancient times.

Priest reports state that Catherine of Sienna existed on a diet of next-to-nothing, consiting of only small amounts of fruits and berries.

Ancient Romans practiced habits of starvation and purging after meals, signs of the eating disorders of anorexia and bulimia.

I'm sorry, but WikiAnswers is meant to be a place where questions are answered that are there to help or educate or assist a person. Suggesting a website that encourages anorexia (a potentially fatal and life-endangering disease) would not be helping, but would be promoting this dangerous life style.

If the personal trainer is aware of the anorexia in his or her client, and continues to help them lose significant weight, they might be able to be held liable in the way that they are enabling the disorder and might be worsening the condition. If they are unaware of any probelm, then they cannot be help liable.

It depends on the case weather or not if affects the parents and how much it affects them. In most cases though I'd say the person with the disorder suffers far more.
