This is the relationship that people have to their bodies, and how they integrate physical and emotional wellbeing. There is a strong relationship between poor body image, disordered eating and weight problems. Research shows that people with low levels of body satisfaction are more likely to gain weight over time (regardless of starting BMI); whereas those who have higher levels of body satisfaction are less likely to gain weight.<\/p> This is partly because people with low body image are less likely to be physically active and more likely to use unhealthy weight control behaviours. Poor body image is also linked with depression and low self-esteem. People who do not feel good about their bodies are less likely to look after them, so supporting people to value themselves and take care of their bodies is crucial in tackling obesity.<\/p> The Government is committed to tackling obesity and tackling the causes of poor body image. The Public Health England Change4Life campaign has been widely acclaimed for its positive approach and for not using \u201cfat shaming\u201d imagery. Instead, it focuses on motivating healthy behaviour change rather than achievement of a particular body type.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}

The earliest recorded wreck in this area dates from 1246.<\/p> <\/p> The remaining 251 records comprise wreck sites, including nine recorded hulk assemblages in riverbank or estuarine contexts (one or more vessels abandoned in an unseaworthy condition, sometimes for environmental purposes). Wreck sites may be positively identified, tentatively identified with a possible relation to a documented wreck event, or not identified at all.<\/p> <\/p> The majority of wreck sites will have been dispersed. The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board (MDHB) was active in the River Mersey and Liverpool Bay in the dispersal of wrecks from the mid-19th century onwards, typically flattening them level with the river- or seabed, and many more were dismantled in situ where they stranded. English Heritage wreck records do not contain the dispersal data for every vessel.<\/p> <\/p>
