Definition: The word "anorexies" is a term used in Christianity, specifically for those who refuse to eat or have an unhealthy relationship with food. This phrase was often used by Christians to describe individuals who were unwilling to follow God's will or to partake of His gifts. The term originated in the early Christian church when the concept of eating was seen as a sign of weakness and submission to Christ, rather than indulging in worldly pleasures. Anorexia is a form of anorexia that involves severe and irregular eating habits, often causing significant distress and harm to one's body and mental health.
