Could You Have Male Eating Disorder

If you think eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia are just a chick thing, guess again. Ask yourself these six questions to make sure your eating and exercise patterns are in a healthy zone.

Cathy Garrard

When the subject of eating disorders comes up, most people naturally think it’s a chick thing. But the latest research shows that gender is neither a predictor of—or an insurance policy against—body image issues. In fact, the number of guys worldwide who suffer from eating disorders is on the rise, according to Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment & Prevention.

 “There’s a lot more pressure these days for guys to have a cut body than there used to be in the past,” says Ted Weltzin, MD, medical director of eating disorder services at Rogers Memorial Hospital in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

Women Who Inspire....

Many people who I have spoken to regarding weightloss or improving health, have all said they needed inspiration to continue.  

Inspiration comes from within, motivation will help, but you yourself have to become inspired. 

 Today's very inspirational video shows that no matter your age it is never late to start to look after your health.  

I hope you take away from this as much as I have. 

Continue to be inspired!

To your dieting success!

Stress and Your Health

 Stress can have a devistating effect on our health our mind and our bodies.  It is important to recognise the feelings of stress and to be able to have strategies in place to deal with this. 


We all have stress in our lives, and there is such a thing as good stress and bad stress, believe it or not. Stress can manifest itself as aches and pains, stiffness in back neck or shoulders, ulcers, stomach ailments, spots, rashes, loss of hair, headaches, loss of appetite as well as the opposite comfort eating to allay our fears and stresses. Some in the medical industry feel that some cancers are bought on by stress. 


So recognising you are stressed is important in the first instance.  Once you have recognised this, look at what may be causing the stress, now in these days and times, it could be any of the following areas:

• Finance
• Relationships
• Health
• Job / Work related

 

In most of these areas you can 'take charge' of the situation if you regocnise the issues.  Seek help and more importantly take action.  

 

Techniques to help destress

Meditation is a great way to destress.  Find a quiet place to relax, close your eyes and breathe deeply, in through your nose out through your mouth.  Do this for at least 5 minutes if you can go longer you will feel yourself relax.  Tell youself to relax in your mind and you will find yourself sinking deeper and deeper into inner peace. 

 

Self Development  

Is a great way to improve your mindset, thinking positively can help resolve stressful situations.

Recognise your triggers to stress, and as soon as you feel your heart racing, or your blood boiling take measures to calm yourself down. 

Now a majority of people who are overweight tend to comfort eat, that is also to do with stress, being in a stressful relationship, having a stressful time at work, other types of stress or lack of self esteem.  With weight gain and stress, this can lead to health problems, so therefore really important to recognise stress which is causing you to be ill, or gain weight needs to be addressed quickly.  Changing your mindset, eating habits and exercising more can help you to improve your stress levels and improve your health at the same time. 

Your turn.... if there are techniques you use that are helpful to keep you destressed, why not share them in my comments below.....
