Learning Activity 4 Evidence: Consolidation Activity A. What To Do?
A. What to do?
Record a three minutes video expressing to what extent you agree or disagree with
the article “Food addiction can lead to death” by Paul Wilson using adverbs,
adverbial clauses, phrasal verbs, idioms, future perfect and other functions
practiced during this learning activity.
I agree with the author when describing food as a biological necessity for human
beings but for other people it becomes an obsession.
People who started in excess many times do so because of stress or anxiety, they
do not have any control of it, this is detrimental to health since more calories are
supplied to the body than necessary, which brings with it diseases such as arthritis
or even cancer.
I agree that these people should be given attention, that they enter a treatment
since sometimes they themselves generate vomiting and for this reason they can
generate slimming spots, excess cavities, inflamed salivary glands.
Another problem that this causes is anorexia, many adolescents today fear gaining
weight because they do not comply with the stereotype of the thin girl that is had in
the country.
With respect to what I have just commented and taking aspects of the author, I
agree with this article. It is very likely to become addicted to food because food
such as a cigarette for some people becomes addiction. Food gives us pleasure.
Eating slowly is one of my strongest passions; I enjoy every tasty bite of meat
almost obsessively. However, this does not make me addicted. Also, while I love to
eat and put a lot of mental energy into thinking about my next meal, it doesn't
mean I have a problem. I think that like everything everyone is aware of the actions
they take. But as I mentioned sometimes anxiety leads to returning this as a whim
something that if you are not eating it every so often it does not satisfy you.
B. How to do it?
Food has been described as ambrosia and the elixir of life. For some, eating is a
biological necessity while for others it is a passion that can turn into an
obsession. Experts define food addiction to be a disorder where the addict is
preoccupied with food, the availability of food, and the pleasure of eating. There
are three recognized food addictions:
Anorexia Nervosa: Anorexics fear weight gain and, thus, starve themselves.
Typically, anorexics are obsessed with weight gain and body shape and, like
bulimics, exhibit obsessive behaviours to achieve a particular body image.
Their notions of the perfect body and often distorted sense of their own bodies
make this disorder as much psychological as it is the menstrual cycle, hair
loss, unhealthy skin pallor, and dehydration.
Here are some signs that you or someone you know may have one of the
aforementioned food-related pathologies.
Even if you have a doubt that you may be a food addict, you should seek help.
Nip the problem in the bud before it grows into something unmanageable and
serious. You must consult a nutritionist, doctor, psychologist, an eating
addiction center or specialist. There are programs run by groups like
Overeaters Anonymous that run 12-step programs which are extremely
beneficial.1
