Click on this image for a link to the Fox News article about Orthorexia
Orthorexia is a relatively new term for a disorder where a person becomes obsessed with the “perfect diet” and the cleanliness of food, eating on a highly regulated regime. Orthorexics, (mainly women) can be under pressure to stay fit and young while experiencing life stress on an intense, long-lasting level. Orthorexics cut out too many meat and dairy products as well as whole grains, which rob the body of essential nutrients. Apart from missing out on nutrients, the health of your mind and the quality of your thoughts can have a huge impact on your body.
Remember that extreme diets are never healthy and common sense along with moderation should always play a role in diet and exercise.
