Recently, a video clip spread that causes confusion and concern at the same time, as it shows a woman engaging in unusual behavior by eating clay. This behavior was shed light on by Dr. Bedaya Al-Enezi, a consultant in obstetrics and gynecology, who shared her experience and knowledge about this phenomenon in an interview with the “Sayidaty” program, to provide an analysis that enriches our understanding of this psychological and physical disorder.
The woman in the viral clip shows a condition that may seem at first glance strange or even ridiculous, but Dr. Al-Enezi highlights that such behaviors may be an indicator of deeper problems. They reflect psychological conditions such as neurological disorders or deficiencies in essential nutrients such as zinc and iron. This phenomenon seems to be more common among children, especially those who suffer from autism or psychological problems, and it calls attention to the need to raise awareness about proper nutrition and mental health.
Nutrition myths and medical reality
While some may believe that there is a nutritional value to dirt, Dr. Al-Enezi asserts that these assumptions are unfounded. Clay, although it may contain some minerals naturally, is not a safe or healthy source of them. The doctor stresses that believing in the health benefits of eating clay entails the risk of falling into harmful practices that may lead to serious health complications.
It not only denies the alleged nutritional benefits of clay, but also highlights the potential health risks. Dr. Al-Enezi warns that eating clay may lead to serious health problems such as intestinal obstruction and even internal bleeding. Clay can also be contaminated with toxic substances such as lead, which increases the risk of poisoning. Let us not forget biological risks such as intestinal infections and parasitic infections.
Health awareness is the cornerstone of dealing with the phenomenon of mud eating, and Dr. Al-Anazi stresses the importance of a therapeutic response to individuals who exhibit this type of behavior. Treatment can include psychological and nutritional support, focusing on behavior modification and providing healthy food alternatives that meet physical needs without putting the individual at risk.
