Love your body

What part of your body do you love? Maybe when you scrunch up your nose, that birthmark on your back or your bouncy hair? We are all weird and wonderful creature, with totally unique forms.

Here at 87% we’ve been chatting to all sorts of people about what in particular they like, or indeed love about their body. Self-esteem, particularly among the younger generation is at a low. As an example, In 2017, it was reported that 61% of 10-17 year old girls in the UK had low self-esteem… this is shocking!

When you hear the phrase ‘body image’ what is your natural reaction? Is it positive, negative or somewhere in between? A recent study we did sadly recorded that 50% of those who responded said they felt negative about the term ‘body image’. How as a society can we change this?

Take a look at a video we created about body positivity, it’ll make you smile and might get you thinking about your favourite body part, what will you shout proudly about today?
