Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States are highlighting Eating Disorders Awareness in the month of February.
The statistics regarding the prevalence and fallout from these disorders are eye-opening. And as more societal pressure is placed on the ideal look, more unhealthy behaviors are emerging in females and males. And starting at even younger ages. Orthnorexia and Compulsive Exercising are two that come to my mind as I write this post.
Much goes into who we are - and genetics sets the stage for body size, bone structure and shape. Being healthy and fit is what it's all about.
If you or someone you love is struggling with an Eating Disorder, help is available.
Remember, vive la différence! How boring would the world be if we all looked alike.
