Health Fads.

There are many different health trends on the market. Some are legitimately fact based, others are myths and others are scams. It can be difficult to decipher the difference between what is genuine or fake. In this assessment i am going to outline accurate information based on thorough research.

In this task i will tell some trends and fads and some facts about them.

A fad is a product that has little, if any, utility but is characterised by a quick rise in sales and popularity followed by a quick decline in sales and popularity. This quick up and down in sales is because fad products usually do not satisfy a strong consumer need. Nevertheless, fads seldom completely die out, with some hardcore followers remaining loyal.

there are many types of fads such as diet, hula hoop, Rubiks cube etc...

Beyond the popular low and high taper fade haircuts, there are a number of different types of fads, such as the mid, temp, skin or bald fade. Similarly, you can combine the taper fade with a comb over, Mohawk, Afro, high top, or curly hair to create any classic or modern men's hairstyle.

in conclusion i think fads and trends are for people who want to get fit, smart or good at problem solving and they should be used for most people and people should start getting more fit and smart.

sun cooking which people can get sun burnt or even lose a nose, weight pills which can give you bubbly stomachs if you take them to long.

people who want to improve their skin and weight so they think that they're more hot and so they think other people think them better.

sun burnt or you cant move, you feel nausea and sweaty.

1. What also makes using tanning beds dangerous is the fact that the warning signs of overexposure, such as sunburn, appears later than it does outside, 

2. Sun cream is the best anti-wrinkle cream: 90% of all wrinkles are caused by the sun!

pocket motorcycles.

This is one trend that anybody who’s lived in a big city in the last decade already hates. Pocket motorcycles, small gas-powered minibikes capable of reaching speeds of 40 miles per hour, became a hot urban trend in the early 2000s. Because they didn’t require a driver’s license, idiots flocked to them, and even though many cities passed laws specifically prohibiting their use, it didn’t stop dozens of fatalities. Just in 2003, more than 2,000 people were injured riding the things, and in 2004.

a teenage boy was hit by a truck and killed while riding his pocket bike because he was too low to the ground for the truck driver to see.

in conclusion i think they shouldn't use these things at all.

dance marathons.

Fads aren’t a modern invention by any means — we can go back nearly a century to find a case of the madness of crowds claiming a life. Dance marathons were a popular diversion in the 1920s, as hordes of people gathered to tap their feet for as long as they possibly could. Like any endurance contest, it can push people too far, and the first person to kick off at a dance marathon was Homer.

Homer Morehouse, who went 87 hours on his feet before collapsing from exhaustion and dying on the dance floor.

in conclusion i think its okay since he was dancing with his wife but that was to long to dance.

sagging pants.

Fashion is kind of the ultimate fad, but usually your clothes won’t kill you. The sagging pants craze originated in urban communities in the early 2000s. It’s believed that it’s an adaptation of a look from prison, where you’re not allowed to have a belt, but it quickly evolved into a signifier of a certain kind of thug lifestyle. They might want to switch to skinny jeans.

as the tale of Hector Quinones illustrates. In 2009, New York native Hector murdered and robbed a family on the Upper West Side. While chasing down the one survivor, the villain tripped over his saggy pants and fell off a fire escape three stories to his death.

in conclusion i think tripped over on accident but it was his fault for having the saggy pants.

Gangnam style.

One of the most memorable fads of 2012 was “Gangnam Style,” an irresistible tune by South Korean rapper PSY that became a global viral hit, surpassing Justin Bieber to become the most-watched video on YouTube. The accompanying dance moves (a sort of horsey clop thing) were equally popular, with everybody from Britney Spears to NASA busting a move.

But for British man Eamonn Kilbride, it was the last dance he would ever do. At his company holiday party in 2012, the 46-year-old father of three busted out the dance and instantly collapsed from a fatal heart attack.

i think any body can do this if they want to but its their choice.

planking.

Despite our advanced level of civilization, we’re still herd animals at heart. How else can you explain the persistence of fads? “Everybody else was doing it” is a pretty lousy excuse, but it’s all we have. Sometimes, though, the desire to participate in a trend can have fatal results. In this feature, we’ll tell ten tales of people killed while foolishly participating in ridiculous fads.

One of the most inexplicable trends of the last few years was planking, where people … laid down. In public. So named because the position of the body resembles a wooden plank, it started in England and quickly spread via the Internet all over the world. In May of 2011, it claimed its first victim. An Australian bloke named Acton Beale was trying to plank on a balcony seven stories in the air when he lost

his balance and plummeted to his death. All over the world, people realized exactly how dumb planking was and mostly quit doing it.

in conclusion i think no one should do it.
