A new research has found that taking disordered can have long-term side-effects on your health, higher body weight and poor psychological well-being. This study was brought out by the University of Helsinki in Finland found that the eating behaviour of a person gets disconcerted if the person arbitrarily cuts down the meal while counting calories and cutting out sugary foods. People also should follow an extremely strict diet and constantly weigh themselves, irrespective of how they feel, in order to achieve a weight loss at all costs.

 According to the investigation, eating disorders -- a general problem is seen among young adults -- could reach to higher body weight, larger waist circumference and lower psychological well being as well as a lower self-evaluation of general health in later life. "Disordered eating is detrimental to the physical and mental health of young adults both in the short and long-term," stated Ulla Kärkkäinen, a researcher at the University of Helsinki in Finland.

"Earlier research has confirmed that low psychological well being and a poor self-evaluation of health are predictors of higher awareness of physical illness and death. To decrease these long-term negative effects, we must understand the disordered eating early and direct sufferers to treatment," Kärkkäinen continued.

In the research, the researchers found over more than 4,900 young men and women and asked them about their eating behaviour, weight, health and psychological well-being. The effects showed the prevalence of a lower psychological well being among both women and men, as well as a lower self-evaluation of health among men when assessed ten years later. When previous studies have shown that eating disorders are a more serious issue in females rather than males. These findings have been published in the journal European Eating Disorders Review.
