Pro Anorexia- What Is It?

June 7th, 2008

Anorexia is an eating disorder that in most of the cases is unfortunately caused intentionally. These days a new aspect of anorexia has emerged, which is known as Pro anorexia. It involves the promotion of anorexia as a fashionable lifestyle.

This promotion is being done by various websites that claim to offer tips, advice and support to help people deal with maintaining an anorexic lifestyle. These websites do not reveal the dangerous side effects of this disorder.

There are also some online communities that have members who share techniques of crash dieting and ways to compete with each other to lose weight.

Pro anorexia has resulted in the younger generation thinking of anorexia as a fashion rather than problem.
