Why teenagers should avoid risky diets, pills

With Grace Canada IT IS a fact that teenagers are particularly concerned about their appearance. They are therefore more likely to try out risky diets and pills to achieve what is portrayed as 'the ideal figure.' Ironically, a lot of weight reduction methods do not work and will not change your basic body type. To avoid unnecessary risks of malnutrition caused by pills and diets that do not work, you need to learn your body type. This will help you to make the best of what you have and actually achieve a better appearance. Let us focus on body type X: l Is your hip the same or no more than two inches larger than your bust? l Is your waist at least nine inches smaller than the smaller of these (bust and hip)? l Do your upper arms tend to be full in proportion to the rest of your body? l Does your waist definitely curve inward? l Does your torso have an hour-glass shape? l Are your legs slim or average and your thighs curvy or fleshy? If the answers are yes, you are body type X. Basically, the X shape is the best-proportioned of all body types. However, some of the X shaped people tends to develop chubbiness around the upper arms, thighs, neck and chin. Prescription dressing for X body type: l Avoid tight clinging tops. and avoid side or front slits and tight skirts. Perform regular exercises that involve arms, thighs and neck.
