Healthy eating can ruin a person’s life

Excessive fixation on proper nutrition can lead to orthorexia, an eating disorder in which a person becomes obsessed with the idea of a “healthy” diet. Nutrition experts Beth Auger and Beth Haize told the publication HuffPost.

According to experts, the problem can develop unnoticed. Among the alarming signs, they called unreasonably strict restrictions in food, constant analysis of the composition of foods and severe anxiety due to violation of their own eating rules.

Orthorexia can also be manifested by refusing to meet friends due to food uncertainty and guilt after consuming “banned” foods. “It’s an obsession with what a person thinks is the right or healthy way to eat,” Haize said.

Experts stressed that a healthy diet does not require perfect compliance with all the rules. They recommended focusing on a variety of diets, and when there is a strong anxiety around food, consult a nutritionist or psychotherapist who specializes in eating disorders.
