Introduction

We live in a society where advertising, social networks, the media bombard us with messages that remind us how important it is to maintain a healthy life to achieve the perfect body. The growing concern for healthy lifestyles, social pressure to lose weight, the need to be accepted and the concern for a slim aesthetic ideal associated with social, family and professional success could be factors that explain this greater physiological vulnerability to present an ED. This type of disease has a multifactorial etiology, it is therefore important to focus on correcting these modifiable factors with preventive interventions, treating patterns of aesthetic and cultural ideals, self-esteem and self-concept, and healthy dietary practices.

Aim

The main objective of this work is to reduce the incidence of problems related to eating behavior in students of an educational center

Method

The design was a pilot design. First, the existing scientific evidence related to prevention studies was studied and the program was designed, which will be put into practice in a minority group. If the results obtained are satisfactory, the prevention program will be extrapolated to all sixth grade classes of the educational center.

Results

The results expose a different idea of a prevention program

Conclusions

Some of the topics covered in this program are common in all prevention programs, since it has been studied which are the characteristic risk factors of these diseases and therefore those that must be worked on more directly (such as self-esteem and self-concept, social skills, theoretical terms of diseases, healthy eating ...) but in this work proposal it is intended to update information, and in a different way.
