Orthorexia- Can Eating Healthy Be Bad For You?

Health profetions have warned that an obsession with eating healthy can be dangerous. Orthorexia is the total oppisate to Anorexia. Where an anorexic suffer obessed with the quantity they are eating an orthorexic is obessed with the quality they are eating.
Healthy eating in moderation can be beneficial but in extreme cases malnutrition, extreme weight loss and even death can be a result. Orthorexia is a moden illness and most profesionals fail to reconize it.
Some symptoms of Orthorexia are excessivly planning meals in advance, feeling guilt and self hate for eatig even the tinyist portion of junk food, constantly thinking and talking about food, ovoiding eating out because you want to know what esacally is in your food and obessing with what is in your food.




Orthorexia is a healthy diet taken out of all proportions and uncontrolabal. I believe that Ortherxia is the result of this so called perfect women that the midia has created. All every seems to want to do these days is look like the model in magazies and the actors and singer they see on the T.v. With a lack of curvy role models people women are beging to turn eating disorders to lose weight that they may have not needed to lose.
