While developing and fostering a healthy body image does not guarantee good mental or physical health, it can offer a layer of protection against poor self-esteem, disordered eating patterns or yo-yo dieting, and, potentially, other mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and body dysmorphic disorder.
