Tao ako.” Based on the information published in mayoclinic.org, Anorexia nervosa, often simply called anorexia, is a treatable eating disorder in which people have a low body weight based on personal weight history. Although many with anorexia look very thin, some may look overweight. The actress-dancer has previously reminded her online followers about the ill effects of body shaming. She then reposted a 2018 post about it telling everyone, “How sad that there are so many cruel people in this amazing universe, and that some girls are bringing each other down when we should be the one lifting each other up. “Body shaming is not okay, it'll never be okay. Not ever. Body shaming needs to stop!” NOTE: If you are suffering from an eating disorder or any mental health problem, you can call the hotline of the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) at 09190571553 and 09178998727, or visit https://www.facebook.com/ncmhcrisishotline/.
