Feb. 24 marked the beginning of “National Eating Disorder Awareness Week,” a week designated to raise awareness about the issues and challenges surrounding eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, and the opportunities for parents, teachers, coaches, and the community to create a healthy and positive dialogue about dieting, healthy eating, and body image. This year’s theme, “Everybody Knows Somebody,” acknowledges the more than 10 million women and 1 million men who have had, or are currently battling, an eating disorder.

Anorexia and bulimia are the two most widely known eating disorders, and they can have serious consequences and repercussions on the physical and emotional health of young men and women.
