Conclusion
Credits
I have learnt from the previous tasks I have done that fads are diets, exercises etc that claim to do something that was previously impossible or that hasn't even really been tested and can damage the body
I have also learnt that companies try to attract people to try and/ or buy things by bright colour and happy people or using dark tone to look depressing or bad so they will want to turn to wards the happy options
A good strategy for a long time healthy life is just to eat in moderation and exercise for 2-3 hours a day.
