Diuretic Abuse
Diuretic Abuse
Individuals suffering from eating disorders sometimes misuse diuretics in an attempt to lose or control their weight. In actuality diuretic misuse by the eating disordered individual does not facilitate weight loss but instead only reduce the amount of water in the body. Water in the body is vital for the appropriate functioning of all systems. By misusing diuretics the eating disordered individual is robbing the body of this crucial resource. The misuse of diuretics can cause the following severe and dangerous complications for the eating disordered individual: Kidney damage Cardiac Arrhythmias Electrolyte imbalance Heart palpitations Dehydration Fluid retention Headaches Potassium deficiency Dizziness http://www.raderprograms.com/diureticabuse.htm |
