Orthorexia

Eating healthy and nutritious food is a good habit to have and can improve physical and mental wellbeing. But for some, it is hard to achieve the right balance in their diet and can evolve into a form of perfectionism and orthorexia - an eating disorder which centres on an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating. Sufferers become fixated on what they eat and this can dominate their lives and affect wellbeing - of themselves and those around them. If you think you may be affected by orthorexia, please remember that expert care from professionals using evidence-backed techniques can help you address your problems with obsessive eating. Never forget that recovery is absolutely achievable.
