Answer:

Emotional eating can lead to eating disorders

Step-by-step explanation:

Binge eating is an eating disorder that includes the person with said illness eating as much as they can when feeling certain emotions. This can then lead to binging and purging. Purging is when after eating all that food the said person forces themselves to throw up, and then starve themselves until they binge eat again.

When emotional eating, you may consume too much unhealthy food, or too much of one specific food. Junk food isn’t healthy to begin with, but continuously eating it can your body worse. You will be able to handle to amount of sugar, salt and additives that are in your foods. These can damage your organs.

Sometimes, emotional eating doesn’t solve any problem. You may just be eating, but you are still emotional upset.
