At first, “clean eating” seems like a healthy goal – choosing fresh, natural foods and avoiding processed ones. But when the search for purity turns into obsession, it can lead to a serious condition called "orthorexia nervosa".
People with orthorexia are not focused on weight but on the quality of food. They spend hours checking ingredients, reading labels, and avoiding anything they see as “impure.” Over time, their food choices become so limited that they start to suffer from nutrient deficiencies, anxiety, and social isolation.
Experts warn that this lifestyle creates a false sense of control. They also highlight the importance of emotional support and understanding, as recovery becomes difficult when people feel isolated. Instead of improving health, it damages both the body and mind. True wellness, they say, comes from balance and flexibility, not perfection. As one dietitian explains, “Healthy eating should help you live better not make you afraid of food.”
