Summary

  • Sleep is an incredibly important contributor to maintaining physical and psychological health; positive body image may be difficult to achieve if you are sleep-deprived.

  • Substance use – from drinking alcohol to vaping – may seem fairly common, but can be incredibly detrimental to your health. Being body positive includes treating your body well and not using substances.

  • Our bodies change with age; this is completely normal even if it is sometimes very uncomfortable.

  • Many of us will experience health concerns and even chronic health conditions as we age. This makes it extra important to take good care of our bodies and approach them with acceptance.
