Many people know that the month of February is a time to celebrate National Heart Month, but it is also the month for Body Awareness Month. I don't think it's a coincidence that the two occur at the same time. Though body awareness could mean many things, putting a focus on anorexia and the what it does to the heart could make a difference in the life of someone suffering. Besides changing society's perceptions of thinness, recognizing the symptoms and getting early treatment is the next best thing to prevention.
Those who are at risk include: emotionally insecure, high performance athletes, models/dancers, and a family history. This month, take the time to promote positive self-images and be aware that your body is your temple.
