Emad Al-Shammari-Arbil

The search for beauty and elegance remains a human instinct that attracts the attention of females in particular, an interest that may reach the limit of obsession with many women. Recently, in Iraq, there has been a noticeable trend in sports halls among women, especially in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

As for the causes of the spread of this phenomenon, I spoke to Al-Jazeera Net, which is concerned with physical fitness and the construction of trained bodies, Zina, pointing out that excessive obesity is a common factor among different women groups of the trends of these places, but there are other motives behind this turnout, female employees are keen to appear beautiful appearance to be acceptable when dealing With reviewers.

She added that female employees are more prone to obesity because of the nature of their work, which requires them to sit for long hours a day.

For housewives, Zeina says, they need to go to gyms because they often suffer from obesity because of the long time women spend in the kitchen and the long sleep.

She adds that diseases are also a catalyst for the entry of such halls, most women complain of joint pain and shortness of breath and poor fitness.

She continues to wonder about the influx of women into the gymnasium over the past decade. She is surprised to find that motivation is often to seek beauty rather than health. Body sculpting is the most important, and even competition among women is one of the issues. The innate characteristic of women.

The fitness expert, Helen Ahmed, did not go far enough to confirm the arrival of many girls in recent years in gymnasiums or, as is commonly known in English as "Jem", and even confirms that the vast majority of girls come for the purpose of beauty only.

Helen, however, did not object to this seemingly strange desire in many Eastern societies, where Iraq may be the first to accept the idea of ​​many of his family. Helen is ideal for the need for a fast-paced world of fashions and attention to the exterior.

For her part, considered psychologist and social researcher Dr. Mohammed Jabr that the comparison between the responsibility of women and men in society will lead to a significant difference generated by the pressures of pregnancy and childbirth and raising children in addition to its work career.

She added that sport is an important outlet to help women to improve mood and raise their energy and vitality, considering that the influx of women to gyms is a healthy and psychological awareness to build a balanced balance, a sign of the importance of sport in improving mood.

With a certificate from the cosmetic specialists, Al-Jazeera Net, director of Dagher Beauty Clinic, Dr. Dania Al-Sarraf, confirmed that sport is the top leader in body safety, not in terms of fitness and elimination of some diseases, even for beauty.

As part of the search for other reasons for the increasing influx of women to beauty centers, she explained that one of the most important reasons for the Iraqi society in most of its layers, where he wants to reach the quick results in most of his ambitions, adding that cosmetic surgery is a necessary complement to beauty, it is a way to remove many signs of aging Such as wrinkles, hair loss and some of the things that do not reach the sports benefit, such as rhinoplasty.

In order to reach the desired, women's opinions clash between specialists in the field of cosmetics, training and sports halls. Between the search for external beauty and combat the harsh psychological and health conditions, the final outcome is most likely to get the beauty of the external appearance and entertainment in a way that is not part of the routine of the house And work, amid the challenges of the customs of our Eastern societies.
