HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THE MODELLING INDUSTRY

The road to becoming a successful model is often rocky and bumpy. It may seem really cool walking the ramp, but dear friends, be cautious! Life of a model is not always a bed of roses, rather, there are thorns like stress, health concerns and changes in lifestyle that pose a serious threat on a model's physical and mental health.

Let's take a look at some of the issues associated with a model's health. I don't intend to scare modelling aspirations but all I really hope for is to pen down some of the risks that come with a modelling career. If a person stays focused about his/her health and keeps the lifestyle positive, a modelling career can earn him/her everything-wealth, name and fame with the health just being fine too. The following are few of the most serious health hazards that need to be taken care of and avoided in order to make a successful career as a model:
  • Substance Abuse- Modelling often brings with it, the risk of substance abuse. Stress is one of the key elements that often trigger the risk of substance abuse. So an aspiring model should always try for ways to keep stress at bay and stay away from substance abuse.
  • Anorexia- People in the modelling profession may often suffer from Anorexia, which leads to developing apprehension over getting obese and losing contracts. The key to keep anorexia at bay is to eat healthy diets and exercise along with techniques such as yoga or aerobics that help to keep mental and physical composure normal.
  • Irregular Work Schedules- Irregularity in work schedules is a part of modelling career. your sleeping timing and diet timing may often change, thus impacting your health. Appropriate diet and sleep should be preferred to socialising and parties.

If you are cautious and make positive changes in your lifestyle, the sky is the limit in a modelling career. So eat healthy, stay fit and I wish you good luck in your endeavour of becoming a model!

      Yes it is hard for models to be healthy but some models take it to the extreme to have a perfect body shape, whereas there are better ways like I have mentioned in my blog for models to stay healthy, substance abuse and starvation is not the way to go.
