With New Year resolutions in full swing and health tracking apps at our fingertips, new research reveals concerning links between health and fitness apps and disordered eating, body image concerns and excessive exercise.

2025-02-20 142 x 110 / 3208 Bytes

The article from MSN discusses a study that has uncovered concerning links between the use of fitness apps and the development of disordered eating behaviors. Researchers found that individuals who frequently use fitness tracking apps are more likely to engage in behaviors associated with eating disorders, such as excessive exercise, calorie counting, and an unhealthy obsession with body image. The study suggests that while these apps are designed to promote health and fitness, they might inadvertently encourage a hyper-focus on metrics like weight, calories, and exercise performance, which can lead to psychological distress and eating disorders. This is particularly noted among users who are already predisposed to body image issues or those who use the apps as a primary means of managing their diet and exercise. The findings call for a more cautious approach in how fitness apps are designed and marketed, emphasizing the need for features that promote holistic health rather than just physical metrics.
