A new study projected that women who have healthy body and have no eating disorders also found to be more concerned for their body shapes.

Researchers have conducted their study at Brigham Young University, found that when thin women were showed the pictures of fat ladies and were asked to imagine themselves as fat, they all show distress on brain during their psychological screening. Apart from this when men were placed in the similar situation they did not show any sign of stress.

Mark Allen, a BYU neuroscientist said that all the women chosen for the study have no eating disorders and also project a careless attitude towards their body shape. He believes that though these women show that they don't care for their body shapes but yet there is fretfulness among these women to become fat.

This study was printed in the May issue of the psychological journal Personality and Individual Differences.

Allen along with grad student Tyler Owens and BYU psychology professor Diane Spangler joins together on a long term project based on the relation between eating habits and brain. They like to improve treatment of eating disorders by following brain images.

They found that when anorexic and bulimic women come across a fat stranger, the brain's self-reflection center - known as the medial prefrontal cortex , shows sadness and sometimes brain perceived a personality that reflects some other's personality.

Allen found that the women who scored high points in eating healthy food also faces stress when talked about their body shapes, he call this issue as "sub-clinical" issue and this factor motivates him to pursue this study.

Further Allen and Owens decided to conduct the same experiment on men. They found that men do not respond in same manner as women did.

Spangler said that, women are more concerned regarding their physical appearance and thin body so their brain reflects in the same manner. He also said that it is adverse and fake idea to learn about oneself rather it will put one at a risk of eating and mood disorders.
