She said that women must learn to be happy with the way they look...

People who read Ukmedix News on a regular basis will know that one of our most favourite people is the actress Kate Winslet. What we like about her is that she has a healthy attitude to life and to her weight and that she does not starve herself unnecessarily in order to be thin. Kate Winslet has said that she is happy with her body shape and says that the most important thing is that you eat healthily as opposed fad dieting in order to be thin.

Kate Winslet was in the news a great deal recently as she sued a magazine called Grazia that made a claim that she visited a diet doctor to lose weight. Kate was very offended by this allegation as she said she was completely happy with the way she looked and she sued the magazine successfully in court. Following her legal battle and her successful settlement of the case she promised that she would give any money that she received to organizations that supported people who suffered from eating disorders.

She said that she wanted to highlight the problem that faces many actresses and models that starve themselves and do not eat healthily in order to stay extremely thin. She said that women must learn to be happy with the way they look and not to be led by ridiculous and unrealistic media images of how a woman should appear. Kate Winslet has donated some of her winnings to a charity called ‘beat’ that helps and advises people who have had eating problems such as anorexia or bulimia. She will also be giving money to two other charities that also help with eating disorders.

Her action in suing the magazine that defamed her and giving away the money has been extremely useful in highlighting the problems that young women face in the showbiz world and Ukmedix News joins many other health organizations in congratulating her for her courageous stand and her efforts to highlight the problems of eating disorders.
