2015,
It’s
probably the worst time for body images. The social network is full of
unrealistic standards of beauty. The thigh gap, the coin challenge, the
zero size fad… It’s all a very dark place to be in. To make things worse, there
is constant struggle to trend on the social media, gather maximum likes, this
dark place flues on comments and adoration by the virtual world. Sure everyone
likes to look good, but at what expense?
Back
in college as part of our sociology paper we were asked to put up a presentation
on any of the social issues. While my peers were busy working on the same old
child labor and dowry subjects, I started my research my Bulimia.
Wikipedia
explains bulimia as, also known as Bulimia
nervosa, is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by
purging. Binge eating refers to eating a large amount of food in a short amount
of time. Purging refers to attempts to rid oneself of the food consumed. This
may be done by vomiting or taking a laxative.
The nasty Crash Diet:
During
my research I came across an episode from Oprha. It’s probably the simplest
explanations as to why crash dieting is the worst thing you can do to yourself.
As put forward by Dr.Phill, every time you chose to cash diet and starve
yourself, the body goes in a panic mode. It gets signals that since there is no
food coming in, it gets a message that the body is shutting down. Since our
body is programmed to fight for its survival, the next meal you eat after a long gap of starvation,
gets converted into fat by the body, as its trying to survive. So no matter
what you eat your body will convert it into fat. Hence you don’t end up losing
any weight, even if you are practically famished. This in turn puts you into a
great psychological mess and you get sucked into this awful world of emptiness.
Prioritizing
so much more important. Rather than struggling to fit into a certain size of
dress how about we keep healthy goals such a being able to run a mile or swim
10 laps…
Do
the crime, do the time…
If
you enjoy to indulge in a little bit of gluttony, then make sure you work off
those extra calories. A little indulgence will do no harm as long as you follow
a healthy diet and an active lifestyle. Apart from the all the perks of felling
healthy and full of energy, you will end up looking like a million bucks. Your
hair will have an all new sheen and your skin will look like peaches. Trust me
I say this from experience. So if there is a sure shot healthy way to look
fabulous why resort to gagging on a tooth brush.
