Either Too Thin or Too Fat and Homeopathy for Those In Between

In this fast pacing modern world where you are compelled to follow every trend, it is alarming to see a lot of individuals, women especially, who are either too thin or overweight. People are either too obsessed to looking great or too carefree to eat anything. When diet has been introduced, some took it more seriously than others. Many of us, on the other hand, have depended entirely on junk foods and commercialized sustenance which led to many health complications. Immobility resulted from sitting for at least 8 hours in the office and total dependency to technology in doing simple tasks have added to the unhealthy and almost stagnant lifestyle of today’s citizens.

According to reviews, at least 20 million of the total population in the world is suffering from eating disorders. It is also clinically proven that those in their mid-20s to early 30s are mostly the victims of these disorders. Anorexia and Bulimia are two of the cases which are prevalent especially in leading countries.

The mortality rate is for anorexia is even higher than other psychological disorders and is the leading cause of death to young women.
