My child says they're getting fat and is trying to starve themselves (concerned about anorexia).

This is common among adolescent girls who are sensitive about their appearance. Excessive dieting can lead to amenorrhea and bone weakening (osteoporosis). We should educate them on healthy dieting methods (herbal medicine + exercise) that promote beauty and help them build their self-esteem.

예쁜 것보다 건강함이 우선입니다.

  • 생리 중단: 체지방이 너무 줄면 뇌가 비상사태로 인식해 생식 기능을 꺼버립니다.
  • 탈모/피부: 굶어서 뺀 살은 푸석푸석하고 머리카락도 빠집니다.
  • 가족 식사: 혼자 먹게 두지 말고 즐거운 가족 식사 시간을 가지세요.
