Eating   disorders
According to the  medical  dictionary, eating disorders are a group
of behaviors often fueled by unresolved emotional conflicts 
symptomized by altered food  consumption . The most common  types  of
eating disorders are  anorexia  nervosa and  bulimia  nervosa.
Why 
do some people start with  such harmful nutritional habits?
Firstly, one  reason  for this  could  be media. Advertisers heavily 
market  weight -reduction programs and  present  anorexic young models
as the  paradigm  of sexual desirability. Also, clothes are  designed  and 
displayed for  thin bodies in spite of the  fact  that few women  could 
wear  them successfully.
Another   thing  to  mention  is genetic factors. According to studies,
anorexia is eight  times  more common in people who have relatives 
with the  disorder . This  disease  will become apparent after some kind of
psychological  shock .
Finally ,  even their  families  can give negative  influence .  Although ,
almost every parent  knows how  important  right nutrition is,  there  are 
also some people who behave differently. Sometimes some  ignorant  
parents even urge their  children  to  lose  weight. 
In  conclusion ,  there  is no  single  cause for eating disorders. The 
actual cause of  these  disorders  appears  to  result from many factors.
