Answers:
You are absolutely right!. Anorexia can cause major harm to a person's body!. When you don't give your body proper nutrients, strain is put on internal organs and your body will take nutrients from muscles/bones!. Here are some of the effects of anorexia:

-lack of energy
-heart problems/failure
-dizziness, fainting, headaches
-weak and brittle bones-osteoporosis
-kidney failure
-constipation/bloating
-thinning hair/weak nails
-dry skin
-electrolyte imbalances
-loss of periods or infertility
-death

Im so sorry about your friend!. I know it must be frustrating for you to watch your friend harm her body, but there is no way you can make her eat!. She has to be the one to decide to recover!. The thing about anorexia is that the sufferer often doesn't realize that there is a problem!. The best thing for you to do is to tell a trusted adult, either a parent, teacher or counselor!. They can help your friend get the help she needs

Good luck and please take careWww@Answer-Health@Com

There are many problems that can result from having anorexia nervosa!. Most of the side effects result from eating far less food than the body needs to maintain itself!. The more serious consequences of malnutrition and weight loss include loss of normal menstrual cycles, lower levels of estrogen and weakened bones, and loss of brain tissue and muscle, including the heart muscle!. Other side effects include decreased energy, low blood pressure, feeling dizzy and faint, feeling cold much of the time, constipation, decreased ability to concentrate urine resulting in more frequent urination, growth of fine hair on the arms and trunk, fatigue, lack of interest in things including sex, and depression!. If the individual also vomits or uses laxatives or diuretics (water pills) in an attempt to control weight, severe disturbances in electrolytes (salt and minerals in the blood) can lead to dangerously abnormal heart rhythms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anorexia weakens your immune system and will give you a lot of ill health in your substantially reduced lifespan!. You are also likely to feel very tired and weak all the time!.

Your daily calorie intake should never drop below 1,200 if you want to retain your health and 1,200 is rock bottom low!. 1,500 or 1,800 calories per day or more would be better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well depending on her age it can hinder development also it can cause problems with menstral cycle and conception!. Not to mention tearing up her digestive system!. So if she ever plans on having children she may want to trethink her issues!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
