Answer:

Reduced pressure to undereat or exercise at levels that are unsafe

Step-by-step explanation:

Healthy bodies come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Increased use of body types will increase pressure to undereat.

Physicians use body fat percentage to evaluate the status of a patient's body composition.

Advertisements are filled with images of extremely fit and sometimes even underweight people which helps to find ways to increase physical activity to burn calories and increase heart rate.

If regulations were put in place requiring advertisers to use a variety of healthy realistic body types, it will reduce pressure to undereat or exercise at levels that are unsafe.
