Why should we care about body image?
Why should we care about body image?
- We should care about body image because our body influences our mental health, our physical health, how we take care of ourselves, and how we relate to others. Those with a negative body image have a higher chance of developing an eating disorder and will often suffer from depression, low self-esteem, and obsessions with weight loss.
Why is body image a problem?
- Body image is a problem because in today's society people promote unrealistic body ideals, it is challenging to not get caught up in comparing yourself to these unrealistic standards. As a result, many individuals may experience depression, anxiety, and anger. In addition to affecting an individual’s view of their self, poor body image may also result in avoidance of social situations and may interfere with developing healthy social and romantic relationships.
