What Everybody Ought to Know About “Fashionable” Diseases
People from all over the world are alarmed by the great number of young girls that sooner or later find themselves the so called beauty victims. There is hardly any person who does not know the facts about girls - models who die right on the podium because of malnutrition that bears a “fashionable” title – anorexia.
In the reality it is a psychological disease that has its roots in the mere lack of self-confidence. According to the statistics carried out by the world famous company Dove, every fourth teenage girl is disappointed with her own appearance. She considers herself to be stout and unattractive if not ugly. And more often such girls are really slim and there is no need to lose weight. This is just a psychological disorder that is the result of the overpressure of imposed idols that we see each day on our screens in the movies; in the advertisements in the streets and public transport.
The famous magazines like Cosmopolitan and Elle are swarming with glamour faces and skinny bodies. But somebody still finds it attractive and beautiful and even an example to follow.
Of course when we grow older we begin to more or less understand what is good and what is bad for our body and organism as a whole. We are more inclined to pay attention to what we eat and try to follow all possible recommendations in order to keep fit and healthy. But those who are still in their teens are unlikely to realize the result of their crazy wish to get slimmer and slimmer.
They just start to starve. And this is probably the most appropriate word for this process as people who are too obsessed with the idea of becoming like that cover girl that seems to be happy with her way of life the essential part of which is starvation, lead this kind of existing.
Quite a lot has already been said in the media concerning those poor girls that have to get skinny just in order to become models. Still in the countries where the model business is highly developed they lose weight under the strict supervision of the dieticians, saying nothing of popular movie stars. They do physical exercises, swim, jog and etc. They do not just follow a diet but try to make a good shape with the help of sport and healthy food.
Few of the teenagers understand that starvation is really very harmful for their health, but their desire to be like somebody else overbalances. But this is not the game and you already see what it may lead too. That is why the authorities of many countries try to make some changes in this sphere. In such countries like Spain and Argentina, the mannequins in the shops are substituted for the ones that are closer to real people dimensions.
Still such problems like anorexia and bulimia remain a hot issue nowadays. Now the measures are taken and we hope they will manage to improve the situation.
