Energy Management (Part 3): Three essential schools of thought on body fitness and health

  Happy Wednesday World! I'm all about that bass! I have always been all about that bass, even before Meghan Trainor's tune hit our ear canals, but for the wrong reasons. Wave your hand up in the air if you associate body fitness with low body fat percentage a.k.a. having a tone/ripped physical appearance! I bet 99.99999..9 % of y'all had your hand up and thought to yourself "Bh! Yeah!". And there is nothing inaccurate about your reaction, because that's how physical fitness is perceived these days, and most times, people who have aesthetically impressive bodies can literally pick you with one arm and spin you around like pizza dough. BUT... Our ways of perceiving our own bodies are sometimes poisonous and can lead to various forms of mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, BDD, which is short for body dysmorphic disorder, where individuals are excessively preoccupied with their self-image which disrupts their ability to function.
