Here's Why Girls Should Never Take Diet Pills
Is your teenaged daughter popping pills to shed weight? Beware, she may be at an increased risk of harming hormones, growth as well as mental health, researchers warned.
Is your teenaged daughter popping pills to shed weight? Beware, she may be at an increased risk of harming hormones, growth as well as mental health, researchers warned.
The findings showed that diet pills are unsafe for all ages but especially for teenagers due to the presence of toxic chemicals in the supplements.
These pills interfere with the body systems and result in nutritional deficiencies, particularly of iron and calcium, the researchers said.
"In growing children and teenagers, even a marginal reduction in energy intake can be associated with growth deceleration," dailymail.co.uk quoted the Canadian Pediatric Society researchers as saying.
Weight loss pills are advertised as the quick solution to shedding pounds and obtaining the perfect figure, but they come with potentially dangerous side effects, including increased heart rate, fainting, unusual bleeding and heart attacks.
Diet pills can also cause and, in extreme cases they can rip apart the stomach lining and even lead to death, the study showed.
Further, researchers from the University of Minnesota said a startling 63 per cent of teenage girls use "unhealthy weight control behaviours" to maintain a slim shape.
About 22 per cent of teenage females use "very unhealthy weight control behaviours".
The use of diet pills in teenage girls had a significant spike in a five-year span, jumping from 7.5 per cent to 14.2 per cent in 2006, they claimed.
