Introduction
Welcome to Eat This Not That, a guide to help you identify and manage the five most common symptoms of BA. BA, or Binge Eating Disorder, is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people around the world. It is characterized by a pattern of eating large amounts of food in a short period of time, often in secret, and feeling out of control during the episode. The five most common symptoms of BA are: cravings, guilt, shame, loss of control, and depression. In this guide, we will discuss each of these symptoms and provide tips on how to manage them. We hope this guide will help you better understand and manage your BA symptoms.
Eat This Not That: 5 Symptoms Usually Appear in This Order
When it comes to eating healthy, it’s important to know which foods to eat and which to avoid. But it’s also important to know the order in which symptoms usually appear when you’re eating unhealthy foods. Here are five symptoms that usually appear in this order:
1. Fatigue
Fatigue is often the first symptom to appear when you’re eating unhealthy foods. You may feel tired and sluggish, and have difficulty concentrating. This is your body’s way of telling you that it’s not getting the nutrients it needs.
2. Weight Gain
Weight gain is usually the second symptom to appear when you’re eating unhealthy foods. You may find that you’re gaining weight even though you’re not eating more than usual. This is because unhealthy foods are often high in calories and low in nutrients, so your body is storing the extra calories as fat.
3. Digestive Issues
Digestive issues are usually the third symptom to appear when you’re eating unhealthy foods. You may experience bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea. This is because unhealthy foods can be difficult for your body to digest, leading to digestive discomfort.
4. Skin Problems
Skin problems are usually the fourth symptom to appear when you’re eating unhealthy foods. You may experience acne, rashes, or other skin issues. This is because unhealthy foods can cause inflammation in the body, which can lead to skin problems.
5. Mood Swings
Mood swings are usually the fifth symptom to appear when you’re eating unhealthy foods. You may find yourself feeling irritable, anxious, or depressed. This is because unhealthy foods can cause imbalances in your hormones, leading to mood swings.
By knowing the order in which these symptoms usually appear, you can take steps to improve your diet and avoid unhealthy foods. Eating healthy foods can help you feel better and improve your overall health.
Research from the University of Southern California is shedding light on COVID symptoms and the order in which they usually appear. The 2020 study was published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health and led by doctoral candidate Joseph Larsen and his colleagues with faculty advisers Peter Kuhn and James Hicks at the USC Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience’s Convergent Science Institute in Cancer finds that there are four to five COVID common symptoms that happen in a sequences and explains why this information is so significant. Read on—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss these Sure Signs You’ve Already Had COVID.
The study states, “The main dataset of COVID-19 patients of the World Health Organization, containing 55,924 confirmed cases, was obtained through review of national and local governmental reports and observations made during visits to areas with infected individuals in China that occurred from February 16 to 24, 2020. A confirmation dataset of COVID-19 patients, containing 1,099 confirmed cases, was obtained by the China Medical Treatment Expert Group for COVID-19 from medical records and other compiled data of hospitalized patients and outpatients that were diagnosed with COVID-19. This data was reported to the National Health Commission of China from December 11, 2019 to January 29, 2020.”
USC News reports, “This order is especially important to know when we have overlapping cycles of illnesses like the flu that coincide with infections of COVID-19,” said Kuhn, professor of medicine, biomedical engineering, and aerospace and mechanical engineering at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. “Doctors can determine what steps to take to care for the patient, and they may prevent the patient’s condition from worsening.”
The study finds, “A person infected with COVID-19 is most likely to experience symptoms in the order of fever, cough, nausea/vomiting, then diarrhea. The least likely path starts at diarrhea and nausea/vomiting and is followed by cough, and finally fever.”
“Given that there are now better approaches to treatments for COVID-19, identifying patients earlier could reduce hospitalization time,” said Larsen, the study’s lead author and a USC Dornsife professor. He also stated, “The order of the symptoms matter. Knowing that each illness progresses differently means that doctors can identify sooner whether someone likely has COVID-19, or another illness, which can help them make better treatment decisions.”
COVID was compared to other SARS and MERS and researchers found one major difference with symptoms. “We found evidence that supports the notion that there is a most common order of discernible symptoms in COVID-19 that is also different from other prominent respiratory diseases,” according to the study. “The most likely initial symptom is fever in the three diseases studied that are caused by coronaviruses (i.e., COVID-19, SARS, and MERS) and cough in influenza. The most likely order of the four easily discernible symptoms is identical in MERS and SARS, but the most likely path of COVID-19 has one key difference. The first two symptoms of COVID-19, SARS, and MERS are fever and cough. However, the upper GI tract (i.e., nausea/vomiting) seems to be affected before the lower GI tract (i.e., diarrhea) in COVID-19, which is the opposite from MERS and SARS.
In all diseases, we found that fever and cough occur before nausea/vomiting and diarrhea. When observing the set of seven symptoms including three subjective ones (i.e., sore throat, headache, and myalgia), we found that the initial symptoms of the most likely path are the same as in the most likely path of the four discernible symptoms. Also, in both the four and seven symptoms implementations, the GI tract symptoms are last. A separate MERS dataset included the initial symptoms of patients on admission, which listed the symptoms from highest to lowest probability as fever, myalgia, cough, and diarrhea. This order is similar to the most likely path that we determined.” And don’t visit any of these 35 Places You’re Most Likely to Catch COVID.
