Excessive muscle gain in young people can trigger eating disorders

fitness should be. U.S. researchers recently warned that young people who over-exercise during exercise may be at risk of eating disorders and, in severe cases, heart failure.
The study, published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders, says that some young people are forced to overtrain and focus on body shape in order to follow strict diets, avoid fat and carbohydrate intake, which can lead to a "muscle-oriented eating disorder" that, in the most extreme cases, can lead to heart failure due to low calories and excessive exercise. In addition, the disorder is associated with social disorders and depression.
researchers followed 14,891 American teenagers between the ages of 11 and 18 for seven years. It was found that about 22 per cent of men and 5 per cent of women showed this eating disorder. These people have a large or abnormal diet in order to gain weight or muscle, or take dietary supplements, anabolic steroids, etc.Dietary supplements are a regulatory blind spot that can cause liver and kidney damage in extreme cases, while hormones such as anabolic steroids can cause health problems in both the short and long term, such as testicular atrophy, stunting and heart disease, said Jason Yongtian, ph.D., lead author of the
study and a doctor in the Department of Adolescent and Young People Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.
addition, fanatical muscle gain can take up a lot of time, leading to less social activity for young people, which is associated with social avoidance and depression. Yoshida says muscle-boosting people tend to improve their health, so muscle-boosting eating disorders aren't as easy to detect as anorexia err on the brain. (Source: Xinhua News Agency)
