Addicted to health or muscles?
Adonis complex. In person or by television, movies, series, etc, all at least once we have seen a gym inside, the people who go, the kind of people who normally did not take care of themselves or formed physically. Of course, there is never a lack of the second theme that has the following obsession with the muscular verse, which is constantly looking at the mirror, continuous visits to the scale, which is what you see a simple view, but to go deeper in these people we also note the almost complete abandonment to social activities, exclusive dedication to the gym and to rooting without a clear objective, protein-rich diets, too much interest in anabolics and also in doping products ... These people, although they did not seem ill and rather , it seems that there is no one healthier than them to suffer nothing more and nothing less than Vigorexia.
A disease not so rare. For most people this word "Vigorexia" has become very strange, little known or possibly never seen reality, more in this time now, this disease is very common. In this time "Fitness" everyone needs to be in "good shape", if you are not aware or are criticized by everyone for not being in an acceptable or beautiful physical form by society. Thanks to this society that constantly issues judgments with anyone who does not want what is nowadays done, in the physical environment, that has many people developed in Vigorexia.

The group led by psychiatrist Harrison G Pope of McLean Hospital (Belmont, USA) coined this term (still not recognized as a disease by the international medical community) after studying a significant sample of the nine million dollars that frequent the gyms. According to your data, around a money could be affected by an emotional disorder that prevents them from seeing themselves as they really are. For more training they do, or musculature that they always get seven weak, puny and devoid of any physical attraction.
It has been called male anorexia. Or the reverse anorexia. While neither of the two names is totally adequate. Dr. HG Pope himself, who described the disease for the first time in 1993, baptized it as reverse anorexia, but in the later works he preferred the term "Adonis Complex". Of course, although men are the most affected by vertigo, it is a disease that also affects women. On the other hand, although with certain elements with anorexia, bulimia, body dysmorphia, and other eating disorders, vertigo has some of its own characteristics.
Nothing is bad of a little. With all this does not mean to go to the gym, have a routine, and take care of the bad sea, but you have to want to know too much, you do not need, you know, you should not confuse the usual practice with the disease, not even a sport is considered a risk factor. To train normally and maintain a physical well enough, I will never be more time stopped, I will never like it but I will take the extreme of having to exercise every day, every day, fill with healthy drinks, you will stop eating as you normally will only "To eat healthy" Is it really worth it? It really can be considered simple idiom.
As much as you can see in the end you'll end up alone. The Vigorexia or Adonis Complex, in the end just to fall into the account that has a fashionable body or "Fitness" is not everything, muscles and body body are lost over time, it is good to want to have good shape , nobody says the opposite, but everything in excess is bad, and that is a law that nothing and no one can refute.
