    Health issues related to
    defaecation
    The food class that is most important in the defaecation process
    is fibre (fruits and vegetables).

    Fibre can…
    1. Smoothen bowel movements
    2. Stimulate peristalsis
    3. Absorb and expel toxic substances
    4. Regulate the absorption of glucose especially
    for diabetes mellitus patients
    5. Increase the population of beneficial bacteria in
    the large intestine
    Fibre prevents health

    a
    Gastritis
    Gastritis refers to the inflammation and corrosion of the stomach
    epithelial layer by gastric juice when there is no food in the
    stomach. Untreated gastritis can result in gastric ulcers. The
    causes of gastritis include eating irregular quantities of food at
    irregular hours and excessive intake of alcohol or painkillers.
    Muscle Dysmorphia
    Some individuals feel that their size is small with not
    enough growth. So, they subject themselves to extreme
    weightlifting training and exercise. Sometimes, they
    consume steroids or muscle building supplements. This
    health issue is called muscle dysmorphia.
    Anorexia Nervosa
    Anorexia nervosa is quite common amongst teenage
    girls who are obsessed with their body weight.
    Anorexics will avoid food to achieve their ideal body
    weight. They also suffer from psychological problems
    and nutrient deficiency because of their normal
    digestive system is affected.
    Bulimia Nervosa
    For people with bulimia nervosa who are also obsessed
    with controlling their body weight, they will eat a lot
    and vomit out the food that they have eaten or take
    laxatives that cause diarrhoea. In the long run, the
    patient may suffer from dehydration, nutritional
    problems and eventually cardiovascular disease or
    kidney failure.
