For example, we can control our weight by taking balanced diets and doing physical exercises regularly (Nauert, par. 2). Women are the most affected by physical appearance issues, with most of them fighting hard to remain within the society’s held perceptions of beauty. This situation is made worse by the ever-changing fashion and beauty understanding all over the world. Women are always on the lookout to remain relevant to the current beauty tips.

Media plays a great role in defining beauty and setting the prevailing societal perceptions of beauty. In the modern world, the media has created a perception of a high correlation between beauty and being slim (Frette, par.4).
