Health issues

 Teenagers Health Problems

Manorexia is an illness, this illness is about how men are obsessed with losing weight it is the same as anorexia but the different is that anorexia happens to women.

Binge drinking means drinking heavily over several days. as explained in the article " Binge Drinking", The term of binge drinking refers to the heavily consumption of alcohol over a short period of time (just as binge eating means a specific period of uncontrolled overeating)

Binge drinking is something common, but in the last decade it increased specially in teenagers.
A person, in this case a teenager who consumes five or more drinks in a row( in the case of men) and four or more drinks (in the cases of women).

In my opinion binge drinking increased because the ilegal sale of alcohol to teenagers. This happens in my community, Reñaca. A lot of people wonder why teenagers became a binge drinking, the answer of this is in the article " Binge Drinking" , "They are curious - they want to know what it's like to drink alcohol; They believe that it will make them feel good, not realizing it could just as easily make them sick and hungover ; They may look at alcohol as a way to reduce stress, even though it can end up creating more stress; they want to feel older".  These are the principal causes. The best way to stop this problems is talking to an adult of this problem, but an adult who you trust, preferably your parents.

In conclusion now days teenagers can be involved in a lot of problems, related to health, in my opinion, binge drinking is the common problem in teenagers, all problems related to health can be treated,but they have to be taken are with them.

Eating disorders

Manorexia

Manorexia is an illness , same as anorexia, but the different is that anorexia is in the case of women and is in the case of men it's called manorexia. Anorexia, or in this case Manorexia, is about people that are thin and they think that they are fat, so they stop eating with the intention of lose weight, a lot of manorexia's cases are related with Bulimia, another illnes that it's about people that vomits on his own.

I think that this is a serious ilness because they are obsessed with losing weight and this could affect them metabolism because they don't eat the proteins or vitamines, also they can die because of this illness.

This illnes can be treated with physologics and nutritionist, these professionals can help those men that suffer manorexia, because they can estabilize their diets as their minds, nevertheless the only way to stop this problem is if the person that own this problem want to treat it.

Diary entry

Dear diary:
  I am going to talk about my opinion of steroid abuse in sport. I think that steroid use is a bad way yo help your muscles grow, but the way it really works as a sport supplement,but if you abuse it, it will bring you problems. The principal problem is that when you stop doing exercise for a long time, you start gaining weight.
 In my opinion, people don't have to use supplements like steroids, people just have to live healthy, eating proteins and doing sports everyday. That is the way you can have a healthy life, so then when you are older, you will not have problems with your body. An example of this is Jonah Lomu, Lomu was a rugby player that used a lot of steroids to get more muscle, but when he stopped doing sport, he started having problems with his body, also he got operated on his kidneys.
 In conclusion for a healthy life you just have to do sport. And don't use steroids if you don't want to be like the older Lomu.

A term used to refer to Anorexia Nervosa. In another term is the persons that doesn't feed well their self.
