As often happens, one case, one phrase - changes a person's life forever.

She is the ”world’s thinnest woman”, who at 5ft 8in, weighs just 59 lbs.

If that is not disturbing enough, extreme anorexic sufferer Valeria Levitin gets fan mail from girls who want to emulate her skeletal look.

“I have received emails from young girls who want me to teach them how to be like me, ”Levitin told UK news agency Barcroft.

“All the letters I’ve had are from women, mainly in their twenties, who see me as some kind of inspiration.”

The 39-year-old said she is speaking out in an effort to avoid others “repeating” her fate.

“This is why I want to campaign against anorexia. I am not going to teach them how to die. It is not a game, it is not a joke, it is your life, ”she says.

“I want young people to live happy, healthy and meaningful lives. Anorexia has made me lonely, unattractive and repulsive for the people around me.”

Levitin developed her eating disorder as a teenager as says she is determined to beat the disease so she can have a family.

If you know anyone suffering from an eating disorder, please contact the NEDA, who will provide counseling and help.

To date, Valeria Levitina weighs 25 kg. Now her wish is to gain some weight back.

Health Tips...

15 SPECTACULAR TRICKS FOR YOUR BODY!
1) If you've got an itch in your throat, scratch your ear. When the
nerves in the ear get stimulated, they create a reflex in the throat
that causes a muscle spasm, which cures the itch.
2) Having trouble hearing someone at a party or on the phone?

Use your right ear it's better at picking up rapid speech. But, the left is better at picking up music tones.
3) If you need to relieve yourself BADLY, but you're not anywhere
near a bathroom, fantasize about RELATIONS. That preoccupies your brain and distracts it.
4) Next time the doctor's going to give you an injection, COUGH as
the needle is going in. The cough raises the level of pressure in your spinal canal, which limits the pain sensation as it tries to travel to your brain.
5) Clear a stuffed nose or relieve sinus pressure by pushing your
tongue against the roof of your mouth then pressing a finger between your eyebrows. Repeat that for 20 seconds it causes the vomer bone to rock, which loosens your congestion and clears you up.
6) If you ate a big meal and you're feeling full as you go to sleep,
lay on your left side. That'll keep you from suffering from acid reflux it keeps your stomach lower than your esophagus, which will helps keep stomach acid from sliding up your throat.
7) You can stop a toothache by rubbing ice on the back of your
hand, on the webbed area between your thumb and index finger.
The nerve pathways there stimulate a part of the brain that blocks
pain signals from your mouth.
8) If you get all messed up on liquor, and the room starts spinning, put your hand on something stable. The reason: Alcohol dilutes the blood in the part of your ear called the cupula, which regulates balance. Putting your hand on something stable gives your brain another reference point, which will help make the world stop spinning.
9) Stop a nose bleed by putting some cotton on your upper gums right behind the small dent below your nose and press against it hard. Most of the bleeding comes from the cartilage wall that divides the nose, so pressing there helps get it to stop.
10) Nervous? Slow your heart rate down by blowing on your thumb. The vagus nerve controls your heart rate, and you can calm it down by breathing.
11) Need to breathe underwater for a while? Instead of taking a huge breath, HYPERVENTILATE before you go under, by taking a bunch of short breaths. That'll trick your brain into thinking it has more oxygen, and buy you about 10 extra seconds.
12) You can prevent BRAIN FREEZE by pressing your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as much surface area as possible. Brain freeze happens because the nerves in the roof of your mouth get extremely cold, so your brain thinks your whole body is cold. It compensates by overheating which causes your head to hurt. By warming up the roof of your mouth, you'll chill your brain and feel better.
13) If your hand falls asleep, rock your head from side to side. That'll wake your hand or arm up in less than a minute. Your hand falls asleep because of the nerves in your neck compressing so loosening your neck is the cure. If your foot falls asleep, that's governed by nerves lower in the body, so you need to stand up and walk around.
14) Finally, this one's totally USELESS, but a nice trick. Have someone stick their arm out to the side, straight, palm down. Press down on his wrist with two fingers. He'll resist, and his arm will stay horizontal. Then, have him put his foot on a surface that's half an inch off the ground, like a stack of magazines, and do the trick again. Because his spine position is thrown off, his arm will fall right to his side, no matter how much he tries to resist.
15) Got the hiccups? Press thumb and second finger over your
eyebrows until the hiccups are over - usually, in a short while.

True Story...

This incident was happened in india by the year of 2009. Early Thursday morning as the youngest multi-organ donor’s tender heart started beating in the thoracic cavity of the country’s youngest heart recipient. In a procedure that lasted just two hours and 42 minutes, three-year old Tamanna’s heart was harvested from Manipal Hospital in Bangalore, India, flown to the Chennai airport (India), taken to Dr. K.M.Cherian’s Frontier Lifeline Hospital in Mogappair, Chennai and transplanted in a one-year-11-month-old boy, where it started throbbing again. Dr. Cherian said while inter-State transplantations had become commendably common, what was important in this case is that the father agreed to donate the organs of his 3-year-old.

Tamanna’s parents Renilson and Nisha, both originally from Kerala, were driving back home with their daughter after having dinner when their vehicle was involved a head-on collision. While Nisha died on the spot, the child was left brain dead and Mr. Renilson had multiple injuries. As soon as he heard about the condition of his wife and daughter, Mr. Renilson requested that his wife’s eyes be removed and his daughter’s eyes, kidneys, heart and liver be harvested for transplantation. It was coincidence that a nearly 2-year-old baby, with cardio myopathy, was waiting for a heart transplant at Frontier Lifeline. Dr. Cherian had told the parents of the boy that it was nearly impossible to get a donor heart that was as young and suitable.

“The child was in a bad shape, his heart was very big and transplantation was the only option,” he told The Hindu. However, the child was put on the heart registry and the parents had decided to go home, when the call came from Bangalore. Immediately, they were rushed to the hospital and the baby prepared for surgery. It helped that the donor was O positive, universal donor.

A plane was chartered to fly to Bangalore and bring the heart back to Chennai. The flight got clearance to land at the HAL airport and the team from Frontier Lifeline rushed to Manipal Hospital.

By 5 a.m. on Thursday, the surgery was completed and the heart began its reassuring thud in the youngest-ever heart recipient in India. Again, the entire operation would not have been possible but for the co-operation of the Chennai Police and co-ordination between the transplant teams of both hospitals.

A trust, the AP Hitendran Memorial Trust, was formed to address road safety and organ donation. A street in Chengalpettu district was named after him.
