RE: Orthorexia Nervosa || When Healthy Eating Becomes an Eating Disorder

in StemSocial2 years ago

Health experts have a lousy track record. When I was a child the health experts said that grains should be the foundation of one's diet. Most of one's food intake should be carbs followed by veggies and then meat.

We were told to replace butter with margarine because margarine had healthy plant based oils. Later we were told not to eat eggs because they contain cholesterol.

I was told not to eat salt because salt caused high blood pressure. One day I collapsed from a salt deficiency.

Today's health experts reject a great deal of what yesterday's health experts claimed was the gods' truth. Anyway, here is a pizza. At least we all know that pizza is not really all that healthy.

You see, justifying food and health can be very tricky. The truth is, when it comes to quality and quantity of food, when you eat large quantity beyond what is required by the body, the rest is stored as excess. Drawing a line between healthy eating and food causing diseases is very difficult. The truth is, we just revolve around the same thing, today canceling yesterday's food believe, and tomorrow, coming back to what was considered bad 2 days ago.

Dieticians and health expert need to be able to explain food to us, and explain it well.

The health care sector, at least in the United States, has been trying to provide health as a commodity. The health care leaders want to issue blanket statements to control health so they will issue dictates like "eggs are bad" or "everyone must wear masks."

I believe that health is highly subjective and that we need a health industry that provides quality information so that each person can make their own decision.
