Buenos Aires, December 21 (NA) — During the broadcast of the program 'La noche de Mirtha,' actress Leticia Brédice gave a sincere testimony about body image disorders and health risks she faced to fit industry standards.
Brédice recounted that at the beginning of her career, she received direct messages about her weight, which triggered a period of deep insecurity. According to the Argentine News Agency, the actress even consumed amphetamines after consulting a medical cousin, seeking extreme thinness to be accepted in her profession.
The impact of the substances and her decision to quit Brédice detailed the effects these central nervous system stimulants had on her body and emotional well-being:
Systemic damage: She stated that the substances harmed her emotional health, her nervous system, and affected her ability to concentrate. Physical insecurities: She remembered that for years she tried to hide her body, even bathing with a t-shirt on or trying to disguise the growth of her chest. Ceasing consumption: She decided to quit amphetamines after realizing the risk to life following another woman's death and with the withdrawal of these substances from the legal market.
Finally, the actress reflected on the importance of mental peace over aesthetic requirements, understanding that the body is something 'transient and perishable.'
