When "Healthy" Isn't
Briefly

The article discusses how modern wellness culture can mask eating disorders under the guise of healthy behaviors. While practices like clean eating and rigorous exercise are often celebrated, they can be rooted in fear and shame, leading to compulsive and disordered habits. These harmful behaviors are not always outwardly recognizable, affecting individuals of all body sizes and backgrounds. True health, the article argues, should embody flexibility and freedom, rather than rigid control and discipline, highlighting the need for greater awareness and understanding in health discussions.

In the modern health movement, practices rooted in fear are often celebrated, highlighting the need to recognize when wellness routines harm rather than help.
