Orthorexia nervosa: Healthy habit or pathology? Experiences and expansion of the consciousness of the correct diet by Ginés Mateo-Martínez, Antonio Vázquez-Sellán, María Luisa Díaz-Martínez, María Carmen Sellán-Soto

“…Method: Based on the epistemological paradigm of phenomenology, the theoretical perspective of symbolic interactionism, and the methodological perspective of phenomenological reduction, a qualitative discourse analysis was performed through different strategies (thematic content analysis and interpretive phenomenological analysis, applying ad hoc techniques). Findings: The phenomenological field of healthy eating intermittently unfolds in both experience and discourse, akin to a process of expansion and contraction, in the narrative “Expanding the Consciousness of Healthy Eating”. …”
