Nils Binnberg suffered for years from what is known as #orthorexia. This is an #eating disorder in which you compulsively eat healthily. In total, he tried around 20 different diets and trends until he ended up only eating 5 foods. Can nutritional trends make us ill? #diet #lowcarb #cleaneating - Hardly anyone just eats what they feel like at the time. The pressure to pay attention not only to our figure, but also to the nutritional value of our food is too great. Messages from advertising, social media and politics signal every day: Eat healthily! But what is healthy? The information we receive here does not seem to be particularly reliable. The most common nutritional wisdom contradicts one another. As do experiences from friends. To counteract the uncertainty, many people stick to nutritional trends such as paleo, low-carb or intermittent fasting. What does research say about this? Metabolic medicine specialist Dr. Stefan Kabisch from the Charité Berlin has found that the majority of nutrition guides make recommendations that do not correspond with medical guidelines. Jasmina Neudecker and sociologist Dr. Daniel Kofahl want to conduct an experiment to find out how consciously or unconsciously we decide for or against certain foods. How do #nutrition and nutritional trends affect our psyche - and not least our bodies? ******* CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:00 Nils Binnberg: Healthy eating as a compulsion 00:03:11 Orthorexia - a new eating disorder 00:03:40 The dangers of malnutrition 00:07:22 Jasmina meets sociologist Dr. Daniel Kofahl 00:09:46 Experiment: Who eats what and why? 00:14:23 How do we get information about food? 00:19:09 How reliable are nutrition studies? 00:20:10 Jasmina meets nutrition researcher Dr. Stefan Kabisch 00:24:04 Nils' road to recovery 00:26:09 Jasmina's conclusion ******* You can also find more videos from the Terra X cosmos in the media library: https://xplore.zdf.de/ Terra X on Facebook: / zdfterrax Terra X on Instagram: / terrax ******* OUR SOURCES ????
