DIETARY DISEASES:

Anorexia: An eating disorder caused by excessive dieting

• Teeth would start to fall out from lack of calcium, as would their hair, because they are not consuming enough protein. People suffering from anorexia would have a disrupted menstrual cycle, constipation, muscle weakness, dry yellow skin, anaemia and poor blood circulation leading to feeling constantly cold.

Kwashiorkor: A condition when there is a lack of protein and the body breaks down the present protein in itself.

• Edema (an abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin or in one or more cavities of the body that produces swelling) of legs and feet, light-colored, thinning hair, anemia (lack of iron), a pot-belly, and shiny skin.

Scurvy: A condition of lack of Vitamin C (present in vegetables and fruits)

• Easily-bruised skin and bleeding
• Pale skin
• Loss of teeth
• Sunken eyes

Beriberi: A condition of lack of Vitamin B1  that is an water-soluble vitamin that helps to convert carbohydrates into glucose. Vitamin B1 is used to form ATP which all cells need for energy in the body. 

• Leads to wasting, numbness and tingling or pain of the extremities, trouble walking, confusion, nystagmus (fast, involuntary eye movement that may cause reduced or limited vision) and sometimes vomiting

Rickets: Disease caused by lack of calcium taken with Vitamin D.

• Skeletal deformity, bone pain or tenderness, etc. 

Anaemia: Lack of iron.

• Less haemoglobin (substance making up red blood cells), which will result in the lack of red blood cells, and therefore we would not get enough oxygen.
