Health vs Appearance
Hey, Guy's and welcome to another edition of Caribbean Fit! Hope all is well with everyone. I've been really thinking for a while of how much people are obsessed with weight loss and size and not actually focussing on health. It is for this reason I want to discuss physical appearance vs health. All across the world there has been and continues to be an obsession with weight loss and physical appearance and the Carribean is definitely not exempt from this obsession. In the Caribbean, it is customary to be greeted with a comment about your weight as opposed to a "hi how are you". What you get instead is a, "hey did you lose/gain weight?" (of course in our Caribbean dialect). This is very annoying to most people and can also have adverse effects on an individual's self-perception. However, what we should all think about is that everyone will never be the same shape or size and the emphasis should be shifted on overall health. Image courtesy Google W...
