Pros And Cons Of Orthorexia
Controversies, opposing views on topic
According to the research, people have many different opinions about orthorexia and not all professionals believe that orthorexia is a problem. Some sources show that orthorexia is not an eating disorder, or is not an official diagnosis because it is not described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Even though a lot of people are struggling with this disorder, it can be as serious as other eating disorders and does require appropriate consultation
Result of problem solving actions Surely, changing the way we eat, and focus on what food is right for us would help maintain a healthy life style. Being able to choose a wide variety of food intake helps our bodies get enough nutrition
and it helps reduce the risk of disease.
Recommendation for further work research on this topic What I learned from this research topic is that book sources about orthorexia is very minimum. I found out that online sources are more helpful and have more information to write about. UAA’s library website is good thing to start with, it leads me to many reliable websites. In our nutrition textbook too, at the back of each chapter has some good sources as well. Even though there aren’t much details to talk about orthorexia but this is a very interesting topic. Other areas that I suggest the future work on this topic is the controversy about orthorexia not being an eating disorder, or is not officially diagnosed. It would be interesting to find out more.
