Orthorexia is an unhealthy obsession with eating foods that one considers healthy, often leading to restrictive eating patterns and an avoidance of foods deemed unhealthy. This condition emphasizes a fixation on food quality and purity, which can negatively impact physical and mental well-being. It represents a modern approach to eating behaviors, where the intention of being healthy can ironically lead to disordered eating habits and social isolation.
