  7. Anorexia – physiological disease

  8. Lack of food and health problems • Deficiencies – there are so many you don’t need to know any – (Scurvy – lack of vitamin C is one) BUT you must know that ‘starvation’ causes: • Reduced resistance to disease. • Irregular periods in women -

  9. Obesity • How would you describe an obese person? • Where does being overweight stop and obesity start?
