A new
eating disorder attributed to people who have obsession about
eating healthy and cleaning up body from
toxins . Orthorexia is derived from Greek terms orthos (correct) and orexis (
appetite) and signifies an uncontrollable aversion towards
salt,
sugar,
fat and
preservatives. In order to stay balanced, most of orthorexia nevrosians stop
eating out, quit buying anything that is sold in a
can or a
jar and stop using
cleaning products that are
unnatural.
Although the above look like a decent set of habits what makes them part of a disorder is the fact that these people eventually start getting less than the required amount of fat and sodium. They also fail to enjoy social eating and have to restrain themselves from social drinking, thus they can only hang out with people with the same habits and can go to places that have clean food.
