Health At Every Size (HAES) is a movement that promotes the idea that people can pursue health and well-being regardless of their body size or weight. It emphasizes that health is influenced by various factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle, rather than solely focusing on weight loss.
The HAES approach encourages individuals to adopt healthy behaviors, such as balanced eating and physical activity, without the pressure of achieving a specific body size. It advocates for body acceptance and challenges societal norms that equate thinness with health, promoting a more inclusive understanding of well-being.
