When Healthy Eating Isn't A Good Thing
当吃得太健康变成一件坏事
吃得太健康也是种饮食失调症?
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.
大家都知道厌食症:一种饮食失调,病人努力维持低体重,非常害怕增加体重并且对体重有扭曲的观念。
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,另一种比较鲜为人知的饮食失调症叫做orthorexia nervosa(不知道中文),发生在过度健康的饮食。
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."
虽然这种饮食失调症还没有被正式认可,这个名称已经沿用了20年之久。
这个单字来自希腊文的“正确”,当人对健康饮食有过度的坚持。
刚开始医师只是用这个单字来取笑对于饮食过度限制的人,后来他发现这种过度限制会造成营养失调的风险。
“一开始我只是拿来取笑我的某些病人,后来我发现这是个真正的饮食失调症。”
对患者来说,吃得太健康变成一种极端跟坚持,以及心理限制,甚至会造成生理问题。
这些情况发生在对食物的担忧已经变成生活中心,而其他方面有负面影响。
