June 12, 2021, The Liberacy:- Eating Disorder has become one of the main side-effects of the Covid19 Pandemic and the global lockdown imposed because of it. The pandemic ensured us to have a “Healthy Diet” and the diet which is capable of improving our immunity. The lockdown had a direct impact on us, including weight gain due to inactivity and work-from-home hours, stress, loneliness, and eventual depression creating a silent but rising health issue of “Eating Disorder”.
Eating Disorder are of three types:- 1) Anorexia Nervosa, 2) Bulimia Nervosa, and 3) Binge Eating
Eating disorders can be distinguished based on abnormal activity or disturbed eating habits, so it becomes really essential to look out for the signs first and then try to tackle them.

- Strange food combinations or strange habits of eating contradicting items one after the other.
- Feeling disgusted towards some of your favorite food items.
- Having an excuse to not eat (let that be dieting reason).

3) Solution to Eating Disorder.
- Talk:- Have a conversation about, what you feel and discuss it with your close ones, and always make sure that this is taken as a serious concern.
- Avoid Simple Solutions:- While discussing make sure that you don’t fall for simple conversations like “Just stop worrying” or “Start Eating”. It is as harmful as the disorder because it will lead you nowhere in the dealing process.
- Know your Food:- List out the food items you like, start eating them whenever you like.
- Time your Intake:- Now as you have started taking your favorite food, time the intake hours.
- Start Exploring:- Now slowly shift to different food items at the same timings you chose earlier.
