How to avoid an eating disorder

With the change from the concept of beauty, from voluptuous to thin bodies, most teenagers are being pressured to also be thin.

This, coupled with seeing Hollywood stars with their thin bodies and model on the red carpet, reinforces more the idea that being thin is synonymous with success. Therefore, it is not difficult to associate thinness with beauty and money.

However, not all people, even those who are young, succumb to this alarming trend. Some are safe with their bodies and are not influenced by external factors.

For this reason here we present some of the ways in which the development of an eating disorder can be avoided.

Remember that the most important thing is to go with a psychologist and nutritionist to overcome any disorder in the diet.

Love and accept your body

There is nothing wrong with the body you have. You need to accept yourself and do not compare yourself with other people. If you take a healthy diet and exercise regularly, it will be very beneficial for your body.

You can reduce calories and fats, with the choice of healthier products, such as those that are rich in vitamins and minerals. Avoid carbonated drinks and juices, as they contain a lot of sugar.

 

Choose the best profile

Most adolescents who succumb to an eating disorder are because they do not know themselves.

One of the reasons why teenagers are so influential today is the fact that most admire their favorite stars.

Therefore, they imitate how they dress, what they do and even their appearance. What you should do is choose the correct "models".

That is, do not admire them only for their appearance, but also for what they do and how they act. It is also good to have several role models who can be admired for their individual talents.
