Orthorexia is an obsessive form of attention that feeds in the choice of food, which must be absolutely healthy, unpolluted and which must meet very specific requirements.
The symptoms that characterize orthorexia are: an obsessive attention to the quality of food, which must have certain characteristics, the use of time and energy to planning of meals and their preparation, a form of hypochondria linked to ingestion of contaminated food, and finally a form of insulation in the habit of eating.
