Today I read an article in the newspaper that stated that doctors are diagnosing more and more cases of orthorexia every day. What is Orthorexia?

Wikipedia describes it as a term coined by Dr. Steven Bratman, a Colorado MD, to denote an eating disorder characterized by a fixation on eating what the sufferer considers to be healthful food, which can ultimately lead to early death.

Food obsession and too much health obsession can affect all of us. I admit I have a couple of the signs of this disorder, I worry about what I eat and I feel very guilty when I indulge in things I know are not good for me. But at the end of the day I feel very good about myself and I know if I live a healthy life in moderation that is all that matters.

So if you find yourself obsessing about this post, relax and trust yourself, use your intuition and live life to the fullest without going overboard with the healthy stuff.
