What are unhealthy diets?

There is a great deal of controversy about what constitutesan unhealthy diet and how precisely to define ‘junk food’.

Another perspective on beauty

What one person considers to be beautiful may be vastlydifferent from what another person may see as beautiful. It all depends on howwe, as human beings, look at one another. If we look only with our eyes, beautyis much more elusive than if we can also examine it with our hearts and oursouls.

There was a time when the curves of a woman were highlysought after, the emphasis has shifted in modern times – people tried to break  beauty down into a combination of specificphysical attributes. These may include a symmetrical body, a good complexion,youthfulness, health, and vitality. Unfortunately, it has been proven thatphysical beauty does not ensure a beautiful spirit, and this lack canultimately spoil the overall package.

It is true; beauty should be looked at as a combination ofphysical attributes, inner spirit, personality, intelligence, and heart. Such adefinition would greatly expand how we view the concept of true beauty.

Unfortunately, men and women often tend to look at beautyfrom opposite points of view. While many might think that men would be far morecritical than their female counterparts, the opposite is actually true. Womenare much harsher critics when it comes to analysing their peers.

But, why is so much importance placed on physical beauty? Attractiveemployees often receive more promotions and raises than their less attractivecounterparts; good-looking students do better in school because they canmanipulate their lecturers; beautiful women entice men to do their bidding;good looking men inspire women to pick up the tab. Shameful as it may seem,physical beauty plays an important part in our everyday lives.

Beauty has become an obsession among those who do notbelieve that grace, charm, or personality is enough to get them the things theywant out of life. Many individuals who cannot achieve the perfect look resortto other factors to sway people in their favour; they use money, power, orsexuality as a secret weapon to garner whatever they want from others. Whatthey do not understand is that such actions actually detract from their overallphysical beauty.

Beauty lies in what we can learn from one another. In thatrespect, everyone is beautiful.
