Eating Disorders

An annual campaign meant to educate the public about the realities of eating disorders kicks off this week.

This week on WJON's Health Matters program I talked with Registered Dietician Kari Collett from A-to-Zinc Nutrition. We talked about eating disorders and disordered eating. Kari explained that there are two examples of eating disorders; Bulimia and Anorexia. He says Bulimia is when someone purges immediately after eating. She says this causes many problems which includes esophagus damage and potential intestinal concerns.
