WKYC Channel 3's "Live on Lakeside" morning show once again featured Christina Scalese, a dietitian here at the Cleveland Center for Eating Disorders, to discuss the different nutrients our bodies need as we age. She walked co-hosts Hollie Strano and Michael Cardamone through the various decades of our lives, highlighting certain nutrients — and which foods are rich in them — for each one. 

“Through each decade in our life, our bodies have an increased need for certain nutrients because our bodies are always changing,” Christina said. “It’s important to know what’s going on in our bodies, so we can support that nutritionally.”

GQ Magazine, September 2012: 20% of Anorexics are Men

Twenty percent. And rising. More and more men are starving themselves to death in a pathological pursuit of perfection. Male anorexics have much in common with women who suffer from the same debilitating illness, but there's a striking difference: For the vast majority of men, help is not on the way. Mark Warren, MD, CCED's co-founder and medical directory, says, "Most men with eating disorders are living with them quietly and painfully. I would guess at least three-quarters of them don't get any treatment. They're suffering without help."

Mark Warren MD, CCED's co-founder and medical director, says with the advent of Maudsley Family Based Treatment (FBT), teens now have a very positive outlook for recovery, with rates greater than 60 percent.

Mark Warren, medical director at CCED, said instances of childhood eating disorders do appear to be on the rise. He estimates the numbers, if available, would be "way higher than one would expect," with as many as 5 percent fo children in fourth and fifth grades showing signs of purging after meals. He went on to say, "There's a lot of shame around body changes. Kids are very different sizes and shapes. They have lots of feelings about their body. We do have some concerns, clearly, about the impact of the focus on obesity on these kids."
