In the video “Women’s Ideal Body Types Throughout History,” it shows the ideal body type of women throughout history. It shows that different countries valued different body types. For example, in ancient Italy the women had full heavier set bodies and light skin. While in China petite, tiny waist women were seen as beautiful.

Today, women are obsessed with trying to get the ideal body no matter what the risks are. I think women try their hardest to look like models and famous people. I personally think society harshly judges the way people physically look. Women try their hardest to achieve a goal that might not be good for their body type. I think women should be proud in their skin and not worry about what clothing size they are. As long as you are healthy and eat nutritious food you should not worry about how much you weigh compared to others.

Many women are concerned about the number on the scale rather than if they are at a healthy weight. I think people should worry about their health before the size of their clothing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have studied the connection of weight and life expectance. The studies have shown that there is no connection. In fact the research has shown that “over weight and mildly obese people live longer” (Rutter 2015). This shows that people shouldn’t look down upon people who are high in weight because even if someone looks thicker than the societal norm they might be perfectly healthy.Being skinny and over weight does not mean your healthy, but the food you intake and exercise you do defiantly helps . No matter if you are skinny or over weight , I think the most important thing is your health. This is why people should stop judging people for their physical appearance and start worrying about whats important, your health.
