Body Image Boost

If there’s a young woman in your life who has body image issues, tell her to stay off social media for a week. A one-week break from social media is enough to significantly improve the body image and self-esteem of young women, research finds. The study is among the first to look at the effect of a social media break on body image and

its benefits particularly for those who believe being thin is ideal.

The study simply had half of its participants avoid using TikTok, X,

Facebook and Instagram for one week, while the others continued as

normal. The results showed that young women who had abstained

experienced large boosts in their self-esteem and body image.
