Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look well and feel about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don’t just happed. 4. A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to I Hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.

Respect your body. Practicing good habits-regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on—can help you build a positive body image.

5. Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.

A. Be yourself.

B. Just explore talents that you feel good about.

C. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.

D. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?

G Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
