Causes of anorexia
The cause of anorexia varies according to each situation, but is roughly divided into the following cases:
1. Social factors : Because of worrying about getting fat, thinking that being fat is unhealthy and unattractive, and being thin is energetic and attractive. Therefore, the requirements for body shape and expectations of themselves make them pay great attention to diet and weight, lest they will become fat when eating. So eat less or no food, or try to spit it out.
2. Climatic factors : High air temperature and high humidity can affect gastrointestinal function, reduce digestive juice secretion, reduce digestive enzyme activity, and decrease gastric acid, etc., resulting in decreased digestive function and anorexia.
3. Family factors : Anorexia is also related to the family environment, such as: parents are too strict with their children and excessive pursuit of perfection; children are too dependent on their parents; they have been abused since childhood, single-parent families, and so on. Such children are prone to extremes, are very sensitive, and have poor psychological tolerance.
4. Emotional factors : Forced feeding causes aversion in children. Various factors that affect children’s emotions can cause anorexia.
5. Physical factors : Anorexia is related to hormonal imbalances in the body, such as decreased estrogen, thyroid hormone secretion, and elevated corticosteroid hormones. In addition, acute and chronic diseases can cause gastrointestinal insufficiency (functional dyspepsia) and cause anorexia. The long-term application of almost all antibiotics will cause intestinal flora disturbances and micro-ecological imbalances, causing abdominal distension, nausea and anorexia.
