When adolescents are in their puberty stage, they are followed by a slew of new health issues. Eating disorders appear in adolescents due to their fear of falling low on their desired picture of attractiveness and health. This makes people under adolescence go for a self-imposed diet, leading to abnormal eating, which threatens their health, hence getting exposure to obesity, anorexia, and bulimia (Lister et al, 2021)

The psychological variables that contribute to surrendering to these threats are eating disorders, including; Anorexia nervosa, a condition in which people think they are obese while being extremely thin and limiting their food intake to the extent of starving. Bulimia nervosa, a condition in which people eat enormous quantities of meals and then purge by vomiting or taking laxatives, a type of medicine that can treat constipation; binge eating occurs when a person’s eating habits are out of control, yet they do not purge. In addition, limiting physical activities such as lack of exercise among adolescents leads to obesity.

The following preventive measures should be taken to reduce threats of obesity, anorexia, and bulimia in adolescents. In obesity and binge treatment, Psychotherapy may aid in the re-establishment of a positive dietary attitude. This helps reduce the increasing obesity rate among young people as almost every individual worries about their weight occasionally. For instance, in research conducted in the USA in a population of 50 adolescents who had obesity, it was discussed that young people who had obesity issues were advised to eat more vegetables and fruits, which prevents obesity and avoids fatty foods.

Finally, other preventive measures taken to reduce obesity, bulimia include increasing physical activity, improving sleep, and reducing stress. For example, in a study conducted in a school in the USA, it was revealed that students should actively participate in games activities. This will majorly impact reducing obesity, anorexia, and bulimia cases among the students.
