consciously. we know that what we see on social media isn't a true reflection of reality. god images have a powerful psychological effect because they presented with instant information more so than text. you know, if you look, there's just seconds to process it. it doesn't help if you know that this vote has been used in it's not reality. alberto, as kept filled out as a specialist, visits against the onslaught of re touched images, changes the way we see our own bodies. social media is distorting our perception girls and women appear to be especially susceptible. it really affects me as literally for me, but i feel like i have what it is more here. and so basically like to see how people bodies are just like it is sometimes really down for me. i look at like the motivation for that they can walk. dylan affect me that deeply.

use. huffman hall school for boys tend to do more gaming. they lack playing computer games with their bodies. girls spend more time on social media and they're more vulnerable at the sadness that it's very important to them to say how many like say getting, are they viewed as pretty soon? are they successfully map he a group and so on, so by them in pursuit of those, all important likes they'll use filters and apps to optimize the way they look. the result is a level of perfection that's unattainable. in the real world. a u. s. survey showed that over 50 percent of uses use filters take her out like day to make a feel for cuz my mom, i just feel like give me that they don't use that. it was a lot. and when i was maybe wanting to know italy, we're going to spirit of i prefer to be really of course,

social media also allows us to find communities and chat with one another. how can we make sure we use it in a positive way? i think they should be certain times of day such as bedtime. when you avoid going down that rabbit ho done with it. i advised both adults and children to be selective about may contact you to think about why you follow someone and who you might need to meet and select often. oh, what i want to do to look after my mental health is i like to exercise not aggressive. i would see it for beginners that say to anyone on social media, forget about all of that. be true to yourself, to present to your trulia and people actually appreciate you so much more for that . that's what a lot of influences light, rainy fry and now trying to do get away from unattainable perfection and embrace

imperfection. how much time do you spend in front of a screen every day? the global average is nearly 7 hours. that's not so great for our posture. it also means we're moving less in the long run. it all takes a severe toe on the body and can cause a very modern condition known as the text neck. you may already know just how painful it can be. day in day out, lisa has to sit there in front of her computer screen. i was sick and i own room. it usually starts with a pain in the upper back. i notice it's a bit tight between my shoulder blades. and so if i don't listen to my body, just a small and movement sends pain shooting right up. so i can't even move my head any more. i can't look right all left on the nice home. one causes this pain that so

person these days, and help one day to run her own hotel. your heart starts racing, your blood starts to boil. you rather trim with a sense of panic, anger, and helplessness. your imagination goes into overdrive. that's how jealousy feels it can inflict even small children who think their siblings are getting more attention. in our adult lives, the green eyed monster most often rears its ugly head in our relationships. and in today's digital world, even our online activities can be the trigger. oh my, i'd never do that and don't want anyone looking at mine. and these are key until some time she tells me to pick it up because she can't touches than i look at it. i wouldn't otherwise knew it. just like sometimes i've noticed her whatsapp is open and i thought, oh, i wonder who she's chatting with him with the shame. smartphones have made flings

and flats easier than ever. the trouble is everything we do leaves a digital footprints. so what happens if we leave our phone lying around and our partner decides to take a sneaky peak and digital ha, i've has a digital jealousy as a new form of jealousy. in a way time it's digitals. have us moved. it's not something that existed 20 years ago and you will move miss raw, but the emotion in itself is nothing new as is, can enjoy life resort. it's the same phenomenon. it's all we're gonna midline fin a mean bush, i'm i so it's horrible to realize your girlfriend doesn't trust you and is looking through your phones hotel, landed in the past. we had no idea what our other hobbs got up. say when we went together. but now many of us are documenting our every move on social media where we are, who were wears, how we're feeling does include aboard,

that social media is fertile ground for jealousy. i know, especially because you feel it on the sly as it were by yourself. scrolling through your phone, you can start to feel like you don't trust your partner on that and you get jo, sun soaked in figures for thought. oh, not so long ago, people would go through their partners pockets when they suspected them of cheating . today when we went to check up on our partners, we just need to be at a screen at the bar is where i go. i desire monday, but i don't come one man came to see me because he'd read through his wife's whatsapp messages. in retrospect, he wished he hadn't lloyd while i get back touch your business don't for. he realized that the problem wasn't that his wife had broken his trust. like to timing him, spoke to matters. he kind of household control yet harbor he broken her trust by checking up on her and trying to control her when you are. if you feel online jealousy, he says, look into the reasons why and remember that flirting online and in the real world

on the same one as it hits him and seeing someone you really like out with someone else is a bit different than if they're just exchanging a few voice messages with someone who has language barnaby, nor social does it under. it's paradoxical that because on the one hand, you know, you should be spending more time with your partner, quality time pin, making them feel good about themselves on the said this and going to stacking and put on the other hand, i know it's hard work rather because you're worried, you're going to trigger them. i'm partner. ideally, we trust our partners and don't feel the need to check up on them. and my partner with some crime constantly looking to see what my partner's up to that i've it. and i'm much more likely to feel jealousy, cuz then if i keep myself, i'm busy and distracted. absolutely before. busy i feel there's nothing wrong with a bit of jealousy. well, if you talk about it, you can usually clear the air. well mm hm. so basically it's best to be completely open about our online lives. do you have a question about nutrition?
