Pravrajya Suruchi

Always Feeling Cold: Under-eating can make it difficult for your body to maintain its core temperature. This can leave you feeling constantly cold, even in warm environments.

Fatigue and Low Energy: Food is your body's fuel. When you don't eat enough, your body doesn't have the energy it needs to function properly.

Hair Loss: Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, but under-eating can be one of them.

Brittle Nails and Dry Skin: When you don't eat enough, your body doesn't get the nutrients it needs to keep your skin and nails healthy.

Irregular Periods: Under-eating can disrupt your hormones, which can lead to irregular periods or even amenorrhea (absence of periods).

Muscle Loss: Protein and other nutrients are essential for wound healing. If you're not eating enough, your body won't be able to repair itself as efficiently.

Depression and Anxiety: When you don't eat enough, your body starts to break down muscle tissue for energy.
