Mania per il cibo salutare: ortoressia

I segnali d’allarme sono tanti: rifiutarsi di mangiare un’insalata con le foglie tagliate perché ha perso proprietà nutritive. Considerare il formaggio un cibo pericolosamente malsano. Sentirsi intossicati se si è ceduto di fronte a una barretta di cioccolato. A volte “mangiare sano” diventa una vera e propria ossessione. Peggio: uno scudo dietro cui si nasconde un disturbo alimentare subdolo: l’ortoressia.

Chi ne soffre si impone una dieta fatta di regole ferree: si comincia con una scelta maniacale dei cibi ritenuti “puri” per arrivare poi, gradualmente, a limitare anche quelli. Alla fine nel piatto resteranno pochissimi alimenti, tanto da causare conseguenze gravi per la sopravvivenza stessa, proprio come succede con l’anoressia e la bulimia. La scorsa estate, i dati di un’indagine sociologica hanno costretto il National Health Servite britannico a lanciare l’allarme, perché non si tratta più di qualche caso isolato.

 C’è chi arriva perfino a rifiutare frutta e verdura colti da più di 15 minuti. Per non parlare della carne, di solito tra i primi alimenti a finire nella lista dei sospettati. La cosa grave è che chi soffre di ortolessia si “mimetizza” facilmente. La scusa è quella di preoccuparsi della propria salute, scegliendo alimenti sani: obiettivo politicamente corretto e soprattutto socialmente accettato. Peccato che invece nasconda un comportamento ossessivo, una mania, un disturbo:

 “sono speciale perché so rinunciare a tutto ciò che può essere dannoso per l’organismo”

potrebbe pensare un’ortoressica (il disturbo è soprattutto femminile). Nulla di più attuale, in una società dove non siamo autorizzati a mostrare le nostre debolezze.

  7. Along with every little thing that appears to be building throughout this subject material, your points of view are generally fairly radical. Having said that, I am sorry, because I do not subscribe to your whole theory, all be it radical none the less. It appears to everybody that your comments are actually not entirely rationalized and in reality you are generally your self not really entirely convinced of the assertion. In any case I did appreciate reading it.

  11. Just about all of whatever you point out happens to be astonishingly legitimate and that makes me ponder why I had not looked at this in this light previously. Your article really did switch the light on for me as far as this particular topic goes. Nonetheless there is actually one particular factor I am not necessarily too comfortable with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the actual main idea of your point, let me see exactly what the rest of the readers have to say.Well done.
