Psycho-Physiological Turmoil Coupled with Eating Behavior among Women of Uttarakhand, India
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Though meager, but studies are indicative of psycho-physiological turmoil of women in Uttarakhand, a northern state in India. Women perform tons of chores in the house as well as field, in hilly areas. The positive statistical data for women in terms of literacy rate cannot hide the grimmer condition of women in relation to poor nutritional status, poor psychological health, poor financial independence, poor decision making power etc. The current situation of women aggravates when it is further accompanied by introduction of eating disorders. The problem of eating disorder has a direct impact on nutritional and psychological health. The dearth of literature in this arena leaves the problem unrecognized and thus unaddressed. Keywords: Eating disorder, Nutritional health, Psychological health, Women in Uttarakhand
