Can carrot juice kill you?
That's not quite what we meant when I said your healthy diet could be deadly (although, apparently that urban myth about tha man who died after eating too many carrots is actually true).
As far as i concern, carrot (RED/ORANGE) is good for health as it contains carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Plus it is an excellent source of vitamins B, C and calcium pectate, an extraordinary pectin fibre that has been found to have cholesterol-lowering properties, as well as consumption of carrots increases the level of key antioxidants in the bloodstream that will reduce the risk of cancer.
While there might not be the immediate threat of physical harm, if orthorexia goes too far it can- in very rare cases- kill u. So I'm not saying that a healthy diet is dangerous - it just has to be balanced, and u need to ensure u are getting all the vitamins and minerals ur body needs but not overdose.
***P.S. Orthorexia means having an obsession with "pure" or "righteous" eating - so-called healthy diet. But, this super- healthy diet could actually be doing more harm to ur body than good. While obviously it's great to eat well (duh!) and these foods are good for you, a truly "healthy" diet is a balanced one***
