Question

How can a person maintain a healthy body image? What forces work to make people feel bad about their body images

Answer 1

Answer:

People can maintain a healthy body image through good nutrition, regular exercise, emotional control and good mental health. Low self-esteem, physical inactivity, poor diet and psychological problems are the forces that work to make people feel bad about their body images.

Explanation:

Body image is a multidimensional construct that involves thoughts, attitudes and perceptions about physical appearance. A positive body image (or body satisfaction) implies feeling and confident in your body, recognizing that physical appearance is a part (and not the whole) of what your value as a person is.

Most important for maintaining a healthy body image is maintaining good self-esteem and stabilized physical health, so that one can have emotional control and understand that their physical appearance does not necessarily determine their happiness. In addition, practices such as healthy eating and physical activity are very effective in maintaining a healthy body image in the mind of the individual.

On the other hand, poor mental health, low self-esteem, physical inactivity, and inappropriate diet can make an individual feel uncomfortable and sad about their body image.
