Abstract

Both purging disorder and orthorexia nervosa can be well-identified in our observations. This shows that also in the non-clinical environment, there is an institutionalization of eating habits that are dangerous to the health. This "detox" is not only physiologically harmful, but it is not proved to provide long-term help in mental health either. As a solution, we advocate developing an appropriate health communication plan for misconceptions about healthy lifestyle and eating, and also a promotion of psychotherapeutic opportunities.

Evolutionary aspects of a new eating disorder: Orthorexia nervosa in the 21st century

“…While reviewing the existing literature, the authors revealed selective eating and group cohesion as two possible adaptive behavioral mechanisms that may have allowed ON to become a widespread phenomenon (Musolino, Warin, Wade, & Gilchrist, 2015;Rangel, Dukeshire, & MacDonald, 2012;Turner & Lefevre, 2017). Followed by that, biomedical and psychological conditions were listed that contradicted its existence as an adaptive mechanism (Bóna, Forgács, & Túry, 2018;Moroze, Dunn, Holland, Yager, & Weintraub, 2015;Nauta, Toxopeus, & Eekhoff, 2016;Park et al, 2011).…”

“…As a result of severe malnutrition, refeeding syndrome may occur in restrictive eating disorders, as after drastic food withdrawal, poorly reintroduced meals could lead to fatal complications (Matthews, Capra, & Palmer, 2018). Due to such difficulties, two deaths have been reported by the organizers of two juice cleanse fasting retreats in Hungary (Bóna, Forgács, & Túry, 2018 ing food for a longer period is a regular ritual for the major religions (Lukács & Kézdy, 2008). More recently, fasting practices are introduced as a "detoxification" endeavor in Western culture, as an opportunity to stay away from work stress and family, while experiencing a real de-loading.…”

“…More recently, fasting practices are introduced as a "detoxification" endeavor in Western culture, as an opportunity to stay away from work stress and family, while experiencing a real de-loading. Despite their aim of staying healthy and "clean their bodies", the two mentioned participants were not following the strict suggestions of avoiding binge eating (Bóna et al, 2018(Bóna et al, , p. 1144. The rare deaths that may occur after these retreats are especially tragic as they have been attending to improve their health.…”

Unconventional compensation methods used by patients with bulimia nervosa

“…Diets characterized by a low energy value, commonly referred to as starvation diets in premise, contribute to preventing the development of excessive body weight [3] . Low-calorie diets with altered texture, called juice detox, are gaining popularity [7] . Juice detox involves "cleansing" the body with juices, either bought or self-made products.…”

Measuring Pathological and Nonpathological Orthorexic Behavior: Validation of the Teruel Orthorexia Scale (TOS) among Polish Adults

“…People with personality traits such as perfectionism, a high level of anxiety (tendency toward neophobia) and low self-esteem may have greater tendencies toward orthorexia [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Among the sociocultural factors, it is worth mentioning media promotion of a slim figure and the idea that being thin ensures happiness and success; the pursuit of certain professions (artists, athletes, medics and nutritionists); healthism; the perception of the slim body as a goal to achieve; the influence of social media and the Internet; the accessibility of organic food; social trends to eat healthy; dietary eating behaviors (vegetarianism and its variants); and religious or worldview practices [ 6 , 9 , 10 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Researchers do not agree on whether factors such as sex or self-esteem predispose individuals to the occurrence of orthorexia [ 15 , 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”
