This sounds also a bit paradoxical but it´s true and possible! You can still get ill from eating lots of healthy food. The nutricional physicians speaks of "Orthorexia" in such a case. It´s a special form
eating disorder!
But how did we get to this kind of unusual disorder? When is healthy food actually unhealthy? Finally we live in a time when the subject of nutrition is increasingly becoming sort of religious-surrogate!
So, what exactly is behind the diagnosis of "Orthorexia"?
Orthorexia is believed to be a problem associated with the atitude of eating healthy foods at all circumstance! - in other words a self impossed violation of the natural way of eating. Those affected experiences a massive guilt and loss of control....!
Since when is this form of eating disorder known?
The term was first discovered in 1996 by an American doctor by the name - Steven Bratman in his case study of Neural-related loss of appetite.
When can one get sick from eating healthy food?
If you´re going to make a choice to choose only from few healthy foods and stick to it at all time for a very long period of time. There are chances that this form of radical choice of a particular healthy food can lead to nutricional disorder.
In conclusion: There are actually no healthy food.Only how you eat can make it a poison! and that´s also the same in this case right here. So we dont only get sick on our body but also on our mental development because you may develop a deep sense of lost, depression and fear. The experts warn!
What are the symptoms of this kind of disorder?
Volks suffering from this kind of disorder are fixed on healthy foods only and try to avoid unhealthy foods. They wonder what they can eat, they check always the nutritional labels, such as the vitamin contents of the food they consume and even try to get more healthier atitude! This is sickness!!
What happens to volks like this?
They are always going to be busy sorting out what they are going to eat all the time. Mostly, they suffer from deficiencies symptoms and loss of weight, concentrations and sleep disorder and also performance disorders. ( See also my blog about deseo ). They also isolate themselves socially since they can longer eat in the public or at fast food canteens. The ability to live a normal daily life, work family and friendship will be lost in them.
How to treat this disorder:
It´s treated like every other nutritional disorder to rebuild normal eating habit and the joy in eating pleasure.
