Health and Beauty: What is the ‘norm’?

Filed Under (Our Appearance, Television, health) by Admin on 09-06-2009

With the introduction of exercise videos, health channels, live plastic surgery and you are what you eat shows it has becoming increasingly alarming that our bodies are being scrutinized and moulded into what is seen as the ‘norm’. Who decides what the ‘norm’ is? Who decides what the perfect body is and how we should look? Television, celebrities and society are to blame. Young men and young women are at risk of being told how to look. Everybody is different and should not be compared to someone else. A healthy diet, regular exercise and multivitamins should be a way of keeping healthy and transforming your body, not plastic surgery or diet pills. Everywhere you look you are being criticised about how you look on billboards, magazines, TV, Radio, posters, the internet, magazines, supermarkets and gyms. We are put under a huge amount of pressure to conform to the way models look and to follow the ‘norm’, but why not stand out from the rest and be an individual by believing in your self and using natural and healthy means to improve your body.
