What is megarexia?

The food has become a real problem in today 's society. When years ago it was simply a necessity and ate what was possible, at present, in developed countries there is so much that it has begun to generate the opposite problem : we are overfed . That is, from one end we have passed to another. And not only that, but associated with this excess of food there are diseases such as megarexia that we will talk about particularly in this article.

Overfed and deeply malnourished
There is a phrase that I read not long ago, I do not remember where, nor whose it was but whose content I could not forget (if someone remembers who the author is and the exact phrase can post it as a contribution to the article through a comment). Such a statement said something like that most individuals in developed countries were overfed but dying of hunger . This goes to say that we eat a lot of food , which also make us fat, but our body is starved because nothing, or little, of what we give really serves. I could not agree more.
Has anyone stopped to think about the terrible effort that the organism has to do to assimilate and control the sugars we eat in a simple bun? It seems that the current food industry is made for everything but to keep us healthy but that is not the issue today.
The issue is that related to food there are many diseases . Some of them are well known to everyone. The anorexia is one of the most brutal. In it, the patient looks obese and does not like it, even when his body is at a very low weight that seriously endangers his health .

Megarexia: overweight health sign?
Well, megarexia is the opposite disorder although it is less common. It is a disease in which obese people look thin and healthy . It seems that they assimilate the weight with health and strength, so they do not undergo any diet or any treatment to control the excess fat that accumulates in their bodies, thus seriously compromising their cardiovascular health .
Megarexic people do not perform physical activity either. As a result of this lifestyle, which is also rich in hypercaloric foods and lacking in the necessary nutrients for the organism, these people can end up suffering from diseases -such as anemia-, all those associated with obesity, which are many, and also, in the worst case, death. It seems that the mechanism of megarexia is similar to that of anorexia: people who suffer from it are not aware of the reality of their body situation .

Here is an interesting debate, do not you think? What do you think is happening with the food? Why has it ended up becoming a problem and when in some places it is not enough in others it really does not arrive to feed people?
