👉Did you know, around 42% of individuals living with Type 1 Diabetes are at a higher risk of disordered eating? ❗️At present, the services are not there and actually conflict with one another, leaving individuals in these circumstances at an increased level of vulnerablility. 👉Factors include body image, stigma and attempts at managing glucose to a ‘perfect’ figure. A hyper focus on food to manage the disease is unhelpful for disordered eating as it reinforces an obsession with food control that is unavoidable. 👉The pressure on individuals, and in particular girls with diabetes is very intense with around 40% of girls and women living with type 1 diabetes having a form of disordered eating. ❗️There is so much unknown and so many misconceptions around this disease. 👉It is important that as SENDCo’s we continue to bang the drum on awareness of the impacts of medical status on our learners in and out of educational settings. 👉Diabetes has significant impacts on teaching and learning, from brain fog, concentration, mental health, anxiety, depression, mood changes and school avoidance. This includes our staff teams and facilitators too. #awarenessmatters #disorderedeating #diabetesawareness https://lnkd.in/euazZDtP https://jdrf.org.uk https://lnkd.in/edeSXsaf

🌿 We've all heard about eating disorders, but disordered eating is new. Yet, intuitively, we all know what it means. More of us have an unhealthy relationship to food and our body than have a healthy one. Now that's just not right! More than a third are obese and another third, mostly Baby Boomers, are overweight. Even more shocking, if that's possible, are these statistics: 57% of Millennials obsess that they eat too much; 91% of female college students diet; and 95% of all dieters regain their lost weight within 5 years. This obsession with food, weight and our body image is literally killing us. It is harmful physically, emotionally and mentally creating illness, shame, stress, body-hatred and self-recrimination. And it isn't just a woman's problem. 1 in 10 cases of eating disorders are attributed to men and that doesn't include disordered eating. We can stop these harmful patterns. Listen to my July 2015 show on-demand with guest Sarahjoy Marsh to learn how connecting your body with your brain can help you heal. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/gWTmjiJv #drpaulajoyce #lifecoach

Eating disorders are serious conditions that can affect a young person’s mood, health, relationships, school life, and other aspects of their well-being. There’s no single cause of eating problems. Lots of different factors, including genetics, home environment, and self-esteem may contribute to the development of disordered eating. In recent years, experts have looked into how the media affects the way young people see themselves, their bodies, and their relationship with food. Films, TV, the internet, and magazines have a powerful presence across the world, conveying ideas and ideals to young people that influence the way they think and behave. Research has found that the media may play a central role in increasing body dissatisfaction in teenagers and adolescents, making the development of eating disorders more likely. Our blog explores the link between media and eating disorders, body dissatisfaction, and ideals of beauty, and offers information on how young people can recover from eating problems and reclaim fulfilling futures. https://bit.ly/3NZTPuI #eatingdisorders #mentalhealth #selfesteem
