TRIVIA BITS … ORTHOREXIA

 

PD*25087019

Phobics who refuse to consume “impure” foods and lose dangerous amounts of weight may have a disorder called orthorexia.

Many experts believe that orthorexia is part of anorexia nervosa, in which sufferers severely limit their food intake and body weight. Orthorexia sufferers have distorted views about what good health actually means. These people can wind up emaciated.

Warning signs of the eating disorder are worrying and stressing out about eating certain foods, eating the same foods prepared in the same way, spending increasing amounts of time reading food labels, and social isolation.
