Dr David Okorie<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In this digital perception-driven world we live in, there is a giant wall dividing people into two opposing camps. The \u201cFit-Fam\u201d vs the \u201cI cannot coman kee myself\u201d crew, the \u2018Six-pack\u2019 vs the \u201cAmusement\/One pack\u201d gang, The \u201cslim and curvy\u201d vs \u201cThe big, bold and beautiful (BBB)\u201d clique, with both parties existing with an array of verbal weapons freely used in thier latent social conflict, including but not limited to words like \u201cBody Positivity\u201d, \u201cCarb cycling\u201d, \u201cSlim teas\u201d, \u201cKeto dieting\u201d, \u201cFat burning pills\u2019 e.t.c<\/p>\n

However, let us for a moment take into account the three body types : Ectomorphs <\/strong>: Lean and long, with difficulty building muscle;\u00a0Endomorphs<\/strong>: Big, often\u00a0pear-shaped, with a high tendency to store body\u00a0fat and the\u00a0Mesomorphs<\/strong>: Muscular and well-built, with a high metabolism and responsive muscle cells. Amazing how much a paradox it is, Ectomorphs wishing they were endomorphs, Endomorphs wishing they were Mesomorphs (for males) and for females, anatomically favoured Ectomorphs (i.e. Slim and tall, with fat in the right places, above and below). The quest of this pot of gold, has surely exposed many people to dangers from unnecessary or improperly executed interventions. And worse, the quality of their health sacrificed.<\/p>\n

This begs the question, what really is acceptable? Does it lie in the photoshopped pictures that grace the covers of fashion magazines or is it determined by personal comfort in one\u2019s own reflection? History fondly speaks of a certain Princess Qajar of Persia who once had thirteen men kill themselves, primary because she rejected their proposal for her hand in marriage. At that time, she was seen as the epitome of beauty, even though she had a glaring mustache and was an exuberant endomorph; certainly not picturesque, going by today\u2019s standards.<\/p>\n

These days, with the constant pressure from social media, many often forget that, regardless of one\u2019s body type, what truly matters is \u201cQuality Health and Fitness\u201d, as there are many aesthetically appealing men who can\u2019t even pull their weight in work and endurance, in comparison to their plus-sized counterparts.<\/p>\n

Does this give an excuse for one to wittingly give in to his\/her culinary urges,\u00a0 No!!, However if one is of the Endomorph gang where on the mere thought of pizza or simple admiration of a bucket of ice-cream, he\/she had already packed a few pounds (sadly, which doesn\u2019t reflect as a bank alert), it is necessary to be cautious with diet and attention paid to quality exercise, endeavoring to stay within the acceptable BMI (Body Mass Index) range.<\/p>\n

So, speaking from the \u201cI cannot coman kee myself\u201d side of the fence, Life is to be lived and Life is to be Loved and for one to truly live, one has to be at peace with self.<\/p>\n

In concluthe sion, pursuit for fitness should be paramount but only when there are no shapes or sizes, but rather, strength, stamina and emotional health are the standards through which we abide and are summarily judged.<\/p>\n
