What Does Eating Ice Do To The Body?

Not only does ice have adverse effect on your body, it also means that you might be iron deprived or even facing some kind of a eating disorder (mainly in case of children). Most people crave ice when the iron level in their body is low or they are anaemic. You might want to eat your greens and take some kind of iron supplements. Eating ice may lead to chipping of teeth and eventually result in teeth fall outs. You might suffer from pain in your joints at a young age. For children between the age of 1 and 4 it could also be an eating disorder called PICA. This disorder is attributed with constant eating of non-nutritive substances such as pencil, ice, coal, chalk, wood, paper etc. A PICA patient risks suffering from disorganization, deprivation, epilepsy or mental retardation.
