Please Join EMPOWER! Club & pst; (Peer Support Team) in Recognizing National Eating Disorders Awareness Week by NEDA (visit www.NationalEatingDisorders.org for more information)

MYTH: Eating disorders are a choice.

FACT: Eating disorders (EDs) are complex medical and psychiatric illnesses that patients don’t choose; they are bio-psycho-social diseases. Several decades of genetic research show that biological factors play a significant role in who develops an eating disorder. A societal factor (like the media-driven thin body ideal) is an example of an environmental trigger that has been linked to increased risk of developing an eating disorder. Environmental factors also include physical illnesses, childhood teasing and bullying, and other life stressors. EDs commonly co-occur with other mental health conditions like major depression, anxiety, social phobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Additionally, they may run in families, as there are biological predispositions that make individuals vulnerable to developing an eating disorder. For more information visit: www.NationalEatingDisorders.org

All Week: Read the green flyers posted around the Upper School: Quick Facts About Disordered Eating & How to Talk to a Friend

TODAY: “How to Fuel Your Body for Everyday or Sports Performance: Understanding Nutrition”– Presentation by Alicia Knetsche, Registered Dietician/Nutritionist, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer with Carolina’s Medical System. Foundation Hall, 11:15-12
