Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
1. Myth: How you look is more important than who you are.
Keep a realistic perspective and develop a strong sense of identity based on inner characteristics.
2. Myth: Anyone can be slender and attractive if they have willpower.
Remember that there are different body types based on genetic makeup. We are predisposed to have certain characteristics that make us unique. This includes body appearance. While it is a good idea to eat wisely and exercise to stay healthy, going to extremes for the sake of appearance is never a good idea.
3. Myth: Dieting is an effective weight-loss strategy.
Dieting alters metabolism and can actually slow metabolism, resulting in less-efficient burning of calories. The key to weight loss is a healthy diet and regular exercise to build lean body tissue, which has a higher metabolic rate than fat tissue.
4. Myth: Appearance is more important than health.
Embrace the diversity of body types and unique features and keep a realistic perspective on what attractiveness means. Value health and the whole person over appearance.
