How Does Your Culture Affect Your Weight?

Each culture has its symbols, norms, values, rituals, and codes regarding well-being physically and mentally. The standards of the society in which we live can influence how we perceive ourselves.

Our perception of ourselves and how we look is influenced by cultural standards and the society we live in.

In some countries, having a certain curvy body is a criterion of fitting or not into what society deems a beautiful woman. For example in some African countries, girls eat more to have a certain weight to get married.

In The United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe for example, women are seeking a slim body shape.

In Latin America, being skinny can be a problem for women.

You see, culture can affect how we think about our bodies and influence our attitudes and behaviors.

We start to criticize ourselves and our bodies. We find something or a part of our body that doesn’t look like how we want to be or how the other women look like. This mindset can create misery, suffering, and low self-esteem.

But what if we cherish ourselves as we are and find our well-being in what makes us feel good without comparison or self-destruction?

I have the pleasure to announce that my guest for the next episode is originally from Latin America and she will share her story.
