4. What is body image?
Body image is made up of a person’s beliefs, thoughts, perceptions, feelings, and
actions about their body and appearance. Body image is important because the way
we see ourselves influences every aspect of our lives: our mental health, our
physical health, how we take care of ourselves, how we interact with and relate to
other people.
A positive or healthy body image is feeling happy and satisfied about our body, as
well as being comfortable with the way you look.
A negative or unhealthy body image is being unhappy with the way our look. It’s
often associated with wanting to change your body size or shape.
The four aspects of body image:
The way you see yourself (Perceptual)
The way you feel about the way you look (Affective)
The thoughts and beliefs you feel about your body (Cognitive)
The things you do in relation to the way you look (Behavioral)
5. Why is positive body image important?
Self esteem levels
Self-acceptance
Healthy outlook and behavior's
Causes of a negative body image
Maintaining a healthy body image during adolescence, a period of major
physical and emotional changes, can be difficult. Factors that might harm a
man body image include:
• Natural weight gain and other changes caused by puberty
• Media images that promote the ideal female body as thin
• Having a mother who's overly concerned about her own weight or her
daughter's weight or appearance
6. Effects of unhealthy body image
Low self-esteem and poor body image can be risk factors for the development of
unhealthy weight loss strategies, eating disorders and mental health disorders such
as depression.
Body dissatisfaction may also progress to a more serious mental health condition
like body dysmorphic disorder, in which a person becomes preoccupied with their
appearance and perceived deficits/flaws in their appearance that are not
observable by others.
Eating disorders like anorexia nervosity or bulimia may also develop in relation to
negative body image, and are partly characterized by a distorted view of one’s body
shape or weight and significant body dissatisfaction. However, it is important to
recognize biological and psychosocial causes that eating disorders are complex,
serious mental health illnesses with that are not solely caused by or maintained by
negative body image alone.
7. Being a positive body role model
• Making healthy eating and physical activity part of our everyday family
life, and avoiding fad diets – this will help your child find the right
balance
• Appreciating our own body for what it can do, not just how it looks
• Being proud of things that aren’t related to appearance, such as having
a sense of humor, trying hard, being caring or being helpful – we can
point out these qualities in yourself and your child
• Accepting and valuing people no matter how they look, and not
commenting on how people look.

To make it simple, remember these keys to an ideal body:
• Treat your body with respect.
• Give it enough rest.
• Fuel it with a variety of foods.
• Exercise moderately.
• Resist the pressure to judge yourself and others based on weight,
shape, or size.
• Respect people based on the qualities of their character and
accomplishments, rather than just because of their appearance.
Listen to our Body
• Choose a variety of foods that contribute to a healthy diet, and eat when
you are truly hungry. Stop when you’re full.
• Eat what appeals to you. Do this instead of any diet, and you’re likely to
maintain a healthy weight and avoid eating disorders.
9. Healthy diet
A healthy diet is one that helps maintain or improve general health. A
healthy diet provides the body with essential nutrition: essential fatty acids,
vitamins, minerals, and calories. Where lack of calories is not an issue, a
properly balanced diet (in addition to exercise) is also thought to be
important for lowering health risks, such as obesity, heart disease,
diabetes,hypertension and cancer.
10. Mindful Eating
Some of the benefits of mindful eating:
• Reduce stress.
• Increase enjoyment.
• Easier digestion.
• Reduce calories.
• Lose weight.
• Less binge eating.
• Control food instead of it controlling you.
• Enjoy the moment.
11. Why is a balanced diet important?
A balanced diet is one that provides the body with all the essential
nutrients, vitamins and minerals required to maintain cells, tissues and
organs as well as to function correctly. A diet that is lacking in nutrients
can lead to many different health problems ranging from tiredness and
lack of energy to serious problems with the function of vital organs and
lack of growth and development.
12. Vitamins
Vitamins are chemicals needed by the body to maintain good
health. Each vitamin does a different job in the body and so a lack
of any one vitamin can seriously affect our health. Vitamins are
required by the body only in tiny amounts.
What vitamins should I take on a diet?
The five best vitamins and minerals for maintaining and boosting
body functions, including metabolism, and supporting good weight
control, are as follows:
B vitamins. Share on Pinterest A variety of B vitamins are
important for metabolism
Vitamin D
Calcium
Iron
Magnesium.
13. Mineral salts
The body needs mineral salts only in tiny amounts. Different mineral salts are
needed for different purpose. Liver, kidney, red meats, egg yolk, and dark green
leafy vegetable contain a lot of iron is needed to make red blood cells carry
oxygen to all our cells.
Mineral salts are essential to the organism and make up around 4% of our
body mass. In combination with other nutrients, they ensure that the
organism functions properly by, for example, helping to strengthen certain
structures or bringing oxygen to the body's cells.
Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value, despite the fact
that sea salt is often promoted as being healthier. Sea salt and table salt
contain comparable amounts of sodium by weight.
New research finds substituting potassium and/or magnesium salts for
regular salt in people with high, normal or mildly elevated blood pressure
result in a significant reduction in their daily sodium intake as well as a
lowering of their blood pressure.
14. Proteins
Proteins supply the body with some energy. But the more important role of proteins is
to help our body grow. They are used to make new cells and to repair damaged
ones. What happens when we don't get enough proteins in our diet? We will not
grow properly and our muscles will become weak.
How Much Protein need for diet?
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of protein is 0.8g per kilogram of
body weight per day.
The recommended percentage of calories that should come from protein is
between 10 to 35%. One gram of protein has 4 calories.
So if an individual is consuming 2,000 calories daily, they should be consuming
between 50 to 175g of protein.
Very high protein diets are dangerous
Some fad diets promote very high protein intakes of between 200 and 400g per
day.
A very high-protein diet can strain the kidneys and liver.
It can also prompt excessive loss of the mineral calcium, which can increase your
risk of osteoporosis.
15. Water
Water makes up seventy percent of our body weight. Every time we
sweat, urinate or breathe, we lose a lot of water. We should drink
six to eight glasses of fluid each day to make sure we're getting
enough water for our body
Our whole body system depends on water to:
Hydrate the body.
Flush toxins.
Balance our system.
Carry nutrients into our cells.
Provide a moist environment in our tissues- muscles, throat,
eyes, ears, etc.
16. Basic Meal guidelines
A well–balanced diet means a diet in which all the nutrients our body needs
for proper functioning and energy are taken in. A well-balanced diet contains
a variety of foods from all the food groups, as well as all the necessary
vitamins and minerals we need. It also means taking in an adequate supply
of water for adequate health. A well-balanced diet can be planned by
selecting healthy foods from each of the food groups.
17. Principles of healthy diet
We should eat more food which is pre-processed just a bit.
Every day we should drink 2 liters of liquids, because water is
indispensable for digestion and metabolism. Regular drinking of
water can eliminate our hunger.
We should limit the amount of eating sweets, salts, and products
that are highly processed. We can’t forget about eating fruits and
vegetables. They are sources of many vitamins.
Meals should be eaten without a hurry, and often, too but they
should be rather small. In such way out body doesn’t store
calories.
18. We must remember about breakfast, because this is a
meal which gives us energy for whole day.
We should also use oil, colza oil, nuts, avocado, nuts,
olives and fishes. They provide our body with healthy fats
and vitamins.
Healthy diet helps us to keep fit and supplies the body
with the most important substances.
