NC Health Center to Promote Healthy Self-Image with Love Your Body Class

Many media images promote body dissatisfaction -- and may encourage the onset of eating disorders -- among boys, girls, men, and women. In order to offset these unhealthy influences and promote more productive self-image, a North Carolina health center is hosting a "Love Your Body" workshop at the end of July.

The June 18 edition of theAsheville Citizen-Times provided the following information about the event:
Join Aubrey Ray at Haywood Regional Health & Fitness Center July 29 to learn how to improve your body image, self-esteem, and overall health and well being. Ray will present "Love Your Body!" during the monthly Diabetes Support Group and Education Series. ...

Many things contribute to how a woman feels about her body. Peer pressure, family history, education, stage of life, ethnic, culture, and social status all play important roles in how people feel about how they look.

Improper balance can lead to problems such as eating disorders, which in turn can lead to problems like diabetes. Ray will offer tips for treating your body well and appreciating all its abilities and finer points.
The class will be held July 29, 4 pm, and is free to the public. The Haywood Regional Health & Fitness Center is located in Ashville, North Carolina.
