There are various ways a poor diet can affect your body. For instance a diet that is high in saturated fat may lead to an increased risk of contracting heart disease. Foods with high sugar content and less in nutrients also affects fertility. A diet lacking in vitamins may lead to nervous problems and mood swings. A body also need antioxidants and if a diet lacks in antioxidants there will be a higher risk of contracting various cancers Eating disorders have a higher death rate than any other psychiatric disorder (including depression and schizophrenia). Starvation can have very serious effects on all major body systems and organs. The basic metabolic response to starvation is to conserve body tissues and energy. However, the body will also start to use its own tissue, including muscle and organs, for energy since the body has no food to use instead, The liver and intestines typically lose the highest percentage of their own weight during starvation, followed by the heart and kidneys which both lose a moderate amount of weight. This often causes permanent damage to the organs in the process. Because someone's heart size may be reduced, they will experience low blood pressure and a slowed pulse. It cans also lead to cardiac arrest or kidney failure. Total starvation is usually fatal in 8 to 12 weeks.
