Many people are now adopting healthy lifestyles, for example by replacing white rice with brown, brown or black rice, then drinking infused water, or becoming a vegetarian.
But on the other hand, starting a healthy life turns out to still have a bad impact on health, especially the mind. This disorder is called orthorxia. Reporting Glitzmedia, orthorxia is a condition when a person performs fixation on the quality of food compared to the quantity of food. According to Dr. Yon Park, MD, someone with orthorxia has a lot of rules about food that are fairly excessive, such as weighing and measuring food portions, researching the number of calories, fiber, fat in the food, to plan the menu carefully.
However, according to psychologists, orthorxia has not been included in the list of eating disorders or mental illnesses. A psychologist named Kasey Goodpaster, PhD from the National Eating Disorders Association, said that he and his team continued to research and develop theories about this phenomenon year after year. "The obsession with clean food actually starts with a diet culture that is always pressing and wrapped in a desire to be healthier," he explained.
Actors will be dangerous for someone because their body can be malnourished to a mental disorder. "People with orthoraxia usually reduce a lot of the usual food into daily intake until they feel hungry. But when eating, he will feel anxious and sorry. "This phenomenon is also one of the triggers for the emergence of health problems such as anorexia," explained Goodpaster.
Basically, all food will have no problems if consumed, provided that it is not excessive. The fact that MSG can affect one's memory and mind power has not been proven correct. Sugar can cause a person to experience diabetes and being overweight is also not entirely true, as long as it is not consumed excessively.
So, balance the intake absorbed by the body with exercise that can burn leftovers, so it does not settle and accumulate into bad fat.
