May 6, women of all ages are invited to think collectively about the place which occupy the diets and the obsession of the thinness in our society.
Organizations around the world so want to help the women to say not in the " dictatorship of the scales " for the benefit of a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. " To eat healthily and with pleasure, to move as much as possible and to take time to live without caring too much about his/her silhouette, here is the winning way of life! ", underlines Fannie Dagenais, nutritionist.
Mothers and girls in the target
Retouched images showing young ladies of an extreme thinness which magazines associate with beauty... Miracle diets so ineffective as dangerous for the health... Distort faiths surrounding the loss of weight... The subjects of reflection will not be lacking on May 6th.
" This year, Balance chose to target the mothers and their daughters, because the excessive concern towards the weight can appear to a young age and it is important to prevent it.
Fifty percent of the teenagers skips meals with the aim of checking their weight. Others are going to begin again to smoke or still to train in a excessive way. Diets in the adolescence are associated with the anxiety, with the depression, with the weak respect and the depreciation of one. Furthermore, the risk of maintaining such a dissatisfaction in the adulthood is important.
The excessive preoccupation towards its weight is a problem so important as that of the obesity. It threatens the health and the well-being of the women and the girls, in the same way as the overweight.
