Adolescent Eating Disorders
Our Hollywood friends work hard to look and feel their very best in order to entertain us . Their motivation is driven by the box office and their careers. The image that is sent to our children is unrealistic and unattainable in most cases. This is no fault of the entertainment world it is merely the subliminal message that is sent to our children.
The majority of the entertainment world has personal trainers, gyms in their homes, and nutritionists. Our young adults are oblivious to this and, in most cases, perceive them to be setting the standards of how we should look.
If we could only get this message across to our children and educate them on the dangers of poor eating habits. They need to know of the importance of cellular nutrition for our bodies growth . Statistically most children who have experienced an eating disorder developed it in their pre-teen years and 8 out of 10 girls have reported being on a diet by the age of 16. Our children are reaching puberty at an earlier age lately. They are less equipped at understanding their changing bodies and the need for proper nutrition.
Our children’s inability to look like their Hollywood hero causes them to feel inadequate and adds stress to their already stressful lives. They start feeling unhappy as they fail to reach the unattainable appearance which plays a toll on their self esteem. So they turn to dieting and in some cases ultimately an eating disorder.
I like going to the theater and watching the new blockbuster hit just as much as the other guy. We can’t blame Hollywood for childhood eating disorders. They are just doing their job. Its the perception that the big screen sets the standard of appearance for our children that needs to change.
