Orthorexia!A lifestyle disorder!
People are becoming health conscious ,thanks to more information available on internet and in community sites.However many are falling prey to a kind of lifestyle disease called “Orthorexia” which means health conscious folks displaying a fastidious preoccupation with purity of food leading to their own eating disorders.This symptom is called “Orthorexia Nervosa”.
You must have come across folks who refuse to eat dairy products or sugar and any fat too!They don’t realize that they are missing on essential ingredients like fat which is important for their body to work.Some Hollywood stars and business executives have it! Victoria Becham breakfasts on seaweed shakes and algae! sucks! She snacks on edamame beans as reported in some media reports.Gwyneth Peltrow adhered to microbiotic diet. Natalie Portman and Uma Thurman mostly eat raw food and Reese witherspoon binges on jars of baby food,which she carries with her in her bag.
I have met people who didn’t have tap water in last 20 years or so!
More and more people are showing an inclination towards this trend ,unfortunately! The person is so concerned of what they are eating that they isolate themselves and hence become recluse and depressed. Was Brittany spears a victim of Orthorexia?Time will tell.
Health food marketers are to be blamed! In their adverts ,they show about allergies and fats if you don’t eat their stuff. People are scared! Society is becoming so isolated that outside your office ,one hardly have any friends to confide in!
Even some parents are also indulging their children in such diets!they don’t realize that fats and minerals are needed by their growing bodies.Is Orthorexia going to be the biggest lifestyle disorder of the 21st century? Only time will tell.

Orthorexia sufferers will spend an abnormally long period of time every day thinking about food. Also this problem with the food ends up isolating them from others.

Orthorexia most often affects young women, who are trying to imitate actresses and models imposed by the media and television. It is no secret that anorexics can be manipulative, controlling and irrational.
