Tomorrow marks the world's most important beauty pageant, Miss World 2025, in which the current Miss World, Krystynà Pyszkôva, the Czech model and activist who won the title last year, will be crowned. However, despite what many may believe, the beauty of these women is not only based on the physical qualities and characteristics with which they were born. Other qualities such as presence, intelligence and friendliness are also valued. These women make a great physical effort to be in the best possible shape for the pageant, however, many voices are raising the alarm about the risks they run by following excessively restrictive or harsh diets and training plans.
A diet with many restrictions
Many of the Miss Universe contestants have been interviewed throughout the history of the pageant on this particular subject. What you see on stage are slim, sculpted bodies that are practically unattainable for most women. Obviously, there is a genetic factor that all these women have. Perfect height, magnificent hips and long legs are some of the exceptional qualities that many of them have
In general, they usually recommend a healthy diet and usually ensure that they base their diet on the energy and wellbeing they need during the competition. As many of them have commented, they prioritise natural and balanced foods and, although they have certain restrictions, many of them it that they avoid those that are unnecessary
However, many experts, nutritionists and trainers focus on the diets of these models. Some warn that many feel under high pressure to follow restrictive diets that can be unhealthy in order to achieve a specific physical appearance. These types of diets can increase the risk of eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia.
Special attention to mental health
In addition to the issue of diet, it is also important to note that attention to supplementation, training and lifestyle care of these models is especially strict.
This lifestyle should be carried out alongside professional advice to avoid physical and mental health problems. It is crucial that contestants take care of their minds, as the pressure to achieve these beauty standards can generate anxiety and stress, which in turn could lead to more serious disorders.
