Eating Disorders Prevention

Eating disorders prevention involves promoting healthy attitudes toward food, body image, and self-esteem, especially among vulnerable groups like teens. It includes education programs that challenge harmful societal ideals, encouraging positive self-perception, and teaching balanced eating habits. Schools, communities, and families can support prevention by fostering open communication, reducing media pressures, and providing resources for early intervention. The goal is to reduce risk factors and increase resilience, helping individuals develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies before issues escalate into serious disorders.
