In other words, anorexia can also be presented as obsessive fear of gaining weight and despite of having no fat on the body, individuals refuse to eat or maintain normal body weight. Health effects of anorexia include low blood pressure, low heart rate, anemia, weak muscles and bones, bowel problems, hair fall, hormonal imbalance and much more.
