Media and thin models impact society negatively, since psychologically the mind feels a need to be like the perfect body image advertised by the media and thin models. Negative body image affects humans both psychologically and physically. It affects them psychologically, in the way that the human mind feels a need have an image like what is advertised, sometimes being an image that may never be reached. The mind finds ways to have that image, which are solutions that affect the body physically. Physical impacts to the body are caused by improper dieting.  One of the common ways is skipping meals or vomiting what they ate to prevent gaining weight. The people with this disorder are either very thin or obese most of the time. These solutions that are used as quick, easy solutions lead to diseases and illnesses that can cause your body system more harm.  You could have prevented these health issues if you made better choices. Quick solutions have quick results, but many times harmful depending on the issue. For a better body image it is best to choose healthy solutions that bring health results, like:

• First of all, you need to learn to love and appreciate your body.
• This helps you gain self-esteem
• Even though your body might not be perfect there is something that makes it different and special.
• Seek a friend’s opinion or someone you feel comfortable speaking to, about things that can improve your body image.
• Get psychological help.
• This will help you clear your mind and gain self-esteem to grow and change your opinion about your body image.
• Find healthier ways to diet in order to get the image you desire like:
• Eating healthy fruits and vegetables for beauty, weight loss and health.
• Take a few minutes to exercise; try doing yoga or walking, since these two exercises reduce stress.
• Keep in mind that no matter what others tell you, you are unique.
• Try to change little things like the way you do your hair that bring out beauty.

Remember, you don’t lose anything by trying; you lose more if you decide to fail. So live healthy, because beauty is not everything. You don’t live many years because you’re beautiful, you live many years because you’re healthy. Beauty comes within the heart and not from being super thin like models or media say it is.
