Nutrition: Your skin, is actually an organ of your body and it responds to food, or the lack of food. And it may not just be your skin that is thin, it may also have to do with the tissues underneith the skin. Poor nutritian can unfortunately adversely affect every part of the body. Finally and sadly, eating disorders can lead to death if left untreated.
