    In our research, we concluded that most of the people who did our survey think slim does not equal to beauty. They think the 'real' beauty comes from the inner heart. If one is happy, helpful and pleasant, one is beautiful. Also, they think one who exercises regularly, follows the healthy food pyramid and has a good health, one is beautiful too.

    People should not use inappropriate ways in order to be slim. For example, vomit all the food you have eaten on purpose, or refuse to eat anything. They also should not take slimming products, as slimming products are mostly useless, harmful and bring side effects to our own bodies. In order to get slim, people should first have a clear view of why they want to be slim. People can try to ask questions themselves:'Do you want to be slim because you want to be beautiful?' or 'Do you think beauty totally equals to slim?' (Please view Research and Findings and Discussion if you want to know information about slim and beauty)
 


    If you really want to be slim, we would advise you to exercise regularly and have a balanced diet. You can always work out in your daily life. For instance, if you live on the 20th floor, you should get off the lift on the 10th floor and walk up the stairs to the 20th floor or, you can walk the stairs instead of taking the lift in your daily life. Being slim can also be controlled through your daily meals. For example, the proportion of meat in your meal should be one-third of vegetables. You can also try not to eat desserts, or have midnight feast.


    Our research and findings are really important as nowadays, many people misunderstood the true meaning of the word 'beauty'. People just think beauty means slim and tall and have perfect body lines, as they are always misled by advertisements on televisions and newspapers.  People nowadays think slimming products are good because they can make one slim. But people who wish to be slim are usually unable to recognize the actual harm of slimming products, as they want to be slim in a really fast way and think that slimming products could really help them. They don't know some slimming products could bring side effects to the body. Therefore, we would like to share our knowledge about the harm of slimming products and the true meaning of the word 'health' to people who are now still misled by advertisements and those who misunderstood the meaning of 'beauty' and 'slim'.
