In the SBS special 'Body Documentary - Confession about flesh', which aired on the 29th, the inner situation in which female stars experienced eating disorders due to pressure on their weight was revealed.
On this day's broadcast, female idols were introduced one after another with experiences in which they had to weigh every day and impose strict diet restrictions unconditionally because 'height-120'kg became an official formula. In addition to falling down on the road, depression and various side effects have caused years of suffering.
Hwasa says, "I'm anorexic and depressed. I don't think this is rightHe said he thought ", and Sistar Soyou confessed that he had a panic disorder after his diet. Kara Han Seung-yeon went on a diet and kept losing weight, so she collapsed. Hives of unknown cause developed and took seven years to disappear. In addition, he confessed that he lost too much weight in the organ that controls pressure due to otorrhea, so he couldn't control pressure in his ears.
It's not just idols. Even for the general public, there are many side effects from extreme diet trends.
A typical example is 'Eating Disorder'. Eating disorders that show abnormal dietary habits due to excessive value for body type and weight are divided into neurotic anorexia (anorexia) that seeks to maintain underweight status and neurotic bulimia (binge eating), in which extreme weight control activities such as eating large amounts of food for a short period of time and vomiting are repeated.
The number of domestic eating disorders increased by nearly 50% from 8,517 in 2018 to 12,714 in 2022.
According to the current status of the eating disorder treatment submitted by Rep. Shin Hyun-young of the Democratic Party of Korea from the National Health Insurance Corporation last year, 51,253 patients were treated for eating disorders for five years between 2018 and 2022. The majority of women (41,577) are 81.1%, and in particular, the number of female anorexia patients under the age of 10 has increased nearly sevenfold from 275 in 2018 to 1874 in 2022.
Experts believe that extreme diets not only cause various physical problems, but also adversely affect mental health. It is known that the mortality rate ranges from 5 to 18%. In particular, anorexia may include hypothermia, low blood pressure, swelling, and amenorrhea, as well as dehydration, arrhythmia, leukopenia, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and depression.
Therefore, it is advised that it is necessary to actively correct abnormal dietary habits through cognitive behavioral treatment along with drug treatment such as antidepressants that control serotonin.
