When Healthy Eating Isn't A Good Thing
當吃得太健康變成一件壞事
吃得太健康也是種飲食失調症？
Many are aware of anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder characterized by maintaining a low body weight, along with "intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted perception of body weight," according to Mayo Clinic.
大家都知道厭食症：一種飲食失調，病人努力維持低體重，非常害怕增加體重並且對體重有扭曲的觀念。
However, there's a lesser-known eating disorder called orthorexia nervosa, which revolves around excessive healthy eating. (It has yet to be officially recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
)
然而，另一種比較鮮為人知的飲食失調症叫做orthorexia nervosa（不知道中文），發生在過度健康的飲食。
Though the disorder has not been officially recognized, the term has been around for nearly 20 years. Dr. Steven Bratman defined orthorexia as "an unhealthy obsession with eating healthy food," back in 1997. The word comes from the Greek “orthos,” which means “right” or “correct,” and parallels anorexia nervosa, according to Dr. Bratman, who first came up with the term to poke fun at some of his excessively healthy patients. It stopped being a laughing matter when he realized the severity of this
food-restrictive condition, which in certain cases can result in death due to malnutrition.
"I originally invented the word as a kind of 'tease therapy' for my overly diet-obsessed patients," he wrote on his website. "Over time, however, I came to understand that the term identifies a genuine eating disorder ... For people with orthorexia, eating healthily has become an extreme, obsessive, psychologically limiting, and sometimes physically dangerous disorder, related to but quite distinct from anorexia ... It is most often only a psychological problem in which food concerns become so dominant
that other dimensions of life suffer neglect."
雖然這種飲食失調症還沒有被正式認可，這個名稱已經沿用了20年之久。
這個單字來自希臘文的「正確」，當人對健康飲食有過度的堅持。
剛開始醫師只是用這個單字來取笑對於飲食過度限制的人，後來他發現這種過度限制會造成營養失調的風險。
「一開始我只是拿來取笑我的某些病人，後來我發現這是個真正的飲食失調症。」
對患者來說，吃得太健康變成一種極端跟堅持，以及心理限制，甚至會造成生理問題。
這些情況發生在對食物的擔憂已經變成生活中心，而其他方面有負面影響。
