Task
Health fad question
Waist trainers: they get famous people to market it and they post ads on Facebook and Instagram. I think it is successful because they get thin celebrates to advertise it and they use before and after photos that are sometimes not real. They might be unsuccessful if people try it and they don’t work. The negative side effects are skin irritation, acid reflux, breathing, bruising, and numbness.
Detox teas: they advertise it by getting fitness people to use it. I think it would be successful because they use different healthy stuff in it. It might be unsuccessful if you use it and don’t eat well or not do exercise. They bad side effects are abdominal pain and discomfort, cramps and gas.
Military diet: it is marketed on YouTube. I think it will work because you are eating little calories each day. It might not work because if you starve yourself it slows down your metabolism and your metabolism is what helps you burn calories. The negative effects of the military diet is not enough energy, starvation, headaches, tiredness and bloating.
I think out of all these I would by the detox tea.

Evaluation
Dr Phil report
The type of health fads on the show were tanning beds and diet pills. The type of people on the show were woman. The side effects for the tanning were skin damage and the side effects for the diet pills were being angry, passing out, and feeling sick. An interesting fact about tanning is radiation from just 10 indoor tanning sessions in two weeks can suppress a person’s cancer-fighting immune system. After six months, the body develops a tolerance to diet pills and weight loss stops.

I have learned about the different types of health fads and what ones are dangerous for you. Companies get people to try health fads by advertising it online and normal put people who have had good results that’s are sometimes not real and they get paid actors. Healthy eating, exercise, enough sleep, mediation.
