Ana is the short name of anorexia nervosa, a mental illness in with a person deliberately refuses to eat. In 50% of cases, the disease leads to death according to unofficial data. Young girls are ready, their weight does not exceed 40 kilos. But the main goals is the mark of 30.
Anorexia nervosa used to be a disorder of professional models. Today it has become part of the lives of ordinary people, not related to the world of fashion. A careless phrase, an offensive comment on the physique can lead girls to dramatically change their lifestyle and then they are ready for any sacrifice to meet the illusive ideals.
No more than 500 calories per day, compared with the usual daily rate of 2000. Many people with anorexia are aware of their problem, but the fear of gaining extra grams makes it similar to drug addiction.
