Brazilian model died on Tuesday from an infection caused by renal issues related to an eating disorder
Ana Carolina Reston, a 21 year old Brazilian model, has died this week from reported complications due to anorexia. She modeled for Ford, Elite and L’Equipe.
So far the reports and media surrounding her death have been mostly in Portuguese, but I’m sure this will spark another controversy about models being too skinny. Her mother is also speaking out about her daughter's death.
News such as this just keeps breaking my heart. Countless people say that they don’t feel sorry for these models, as they chose their profession and make their own decisions, but eating disorders are so much more complex than that.
Please, educate yourself about these disorders so we can all be well informed and make our own knowledgeable decisions.
