Is Body Image the Root of All Evil?

While it may not be the root of all evil, it is certainly the root of the evils that cause eating disorders. The National Women's Health Information Center has a section on their web site that addresses the importance of a healthy body image.
"Developing and nurturing a positive body image and a healthy mental attitude is crucial to a woman's happiness and wellness!"
The web site offers suggestions for building a healthy body image. You can also download a BodyWise Handbook that has fact sheets for recognizing eating disorders and suggestions for treatment and for building a healthy body image.
