Effects Of Binge Eating Disorder

Unless you have the habit of purging out whatever you ate,the main effect of Binge Eating Disorder is going to be weight gain which will lead to obesity over time and many health concerns.

Obesity will increase your chances for the following illnesses:-

• Type II Diabetes
• High Blood Pressure
• High Cholesterol
• Heart Disease
• Gallbladder Disease
• Certain types of Cancer

Since binge eating almost always includes foods high in sugar and fat,it will deprive you of most other nutrients available in healthy food. Poor nutrition as a consequence of inadequate diet is a fundamental factor in the development of coronary heart disease.

Obesity will also make it harder to maintain an active lifestyle. You will tend to sit more than stand or walk and exercising will be an even more daunting task. With the increase in weight and decrease in fitness,physical capability will become limited as the muscles get weaker.

I would say that the psychological effects of Binge Eating Disorder is more detrimental than the physical ones. All our actions start from decisions we make. When the mind is unsound the capacity for making the right decisions for self-improvement is impaired.

It is partly these psychological problems that start off binge eating. With the continuance of the habit you will increase the extent of the following illnesses which are already present in most people with Binge Eating Disorder.

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Personality Disorder

Binge eating leads you to isolation and being cut-off from the rest of the world. The effects of it only serve to increase the said compulsive behaviour.
