A focus on nutrition is great — until it takes over a life. Experts explain what orthorexia is and why an obsession with healthy eating can be an eating disorder.
Jason Wood was sitting in a restaurant on vacation with his husband, angry and upset because he couldn’t swap pita for fresh vegetables in his hummus plate. The pain wasn’t overblown, Wood said. It was 20 years of an eating disorder and the anxiety and stress that comes with it culminating into one moment, he said.
What is healthy anyway? Another sign that the rules around eating are not just about health is the difficulty with defining what healthy even is. In the 1990s, healthy, clean eating would be low-fat diets, Gaudiani said. Now, people are more likely to consider high-protein, high-fat, low-carb and low-sugar foods as healthy, she added. Others would prioritize the food’s sourcing — such as whether it’s organic, non-genetically modified and local, Gaudiani said.
