Reasons for Poor Appetite
The food consuming pattern among people has changed a lot. It is necessary to strike a balance between the quality and quantity of food consumed. Overeating or under eating can have negative impact on the body. Poor appetite can lead to deficiency of various minerals and vitamins in the body causing deficiency related ailments and health conditions.
Children, youngsters, adults all may suffer poor appetite at a point of time. Stress could be one of the prominent reasons for this condition. When there are pressures like studying for exams, nearing deadlines for submitting a project, gap between expected performance and actual delivered performance, professional commitments etc, a person may get bogged down by the stress and lose interest in eating.
Tension, worry, anxiety, nervousness and panic can also produce an aversion to eating. The body may just not be able to take in food due to the state of mental restlessness, agitation and consternation. Even though the person may realize he/she is hungry, they may just not be able to eat. In some cases hunger may just disappear.
Hectic traveling schedules may be a cause for poor eating habits. Change of place and the kind of food available may impact the person’s mind and determine if the appetite will improve or lessen.
Poor appetite may result from health consciousness to the point of obsession. To get the perfect media driven size zero figure, people go to the point of strict dieting, starvation, binge and purge spree, skipping food deliberately and so on. The psychological compulsion to reduce weight leads to aversion to food.
A depressive state of mind can be another reason for loss of appetite. A person in depression suffers from self neglect, a sense of indifference towards one’s own well being and health, loss of interest in living, a general sense of dullness and melancholy that leads to disinterest in food.
