Medical experts say young women starving themselves of food because they want to become slim are at risk of ovulation problems and other health complications.
Starvation under the guise of dieting, the experts say, also leads to eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, which comes with lots of health consequences.
According to Mayo Clinic, anorexia nervosa often simply called anorexia is an eating disorder characterised by abnormally low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted perception of weight.
