Are You Obsessive For Healthy Foods?

Extreme obsession for healthy food for a long time can be an eating disorder known as orthorexia or orthorexia nervosa. It is growing like other eating disorders. It can cause severe malnourishment and confine a person to bed for a long time. Extremely health conscious people usually prefer to have organically grown foods, lots of vegetables and fruits, and avoid salt, sugar and fats, rice, breads etc.

It is good to have a healthy diet but the diet should be complete. Our body needs all nutrients for proper nourishment. Fruits and vegetables alone cannot fulfill all nutritional requirements of the body.
