Fads are addictive trensd that come around and people follow. A lot of trends are health fads, diet fads, or just plain old addictions. Most fads are dangerous or not very healthy some include the Tapeworm diet where you eat tapeworms to detoxify your body, the bee venom anti aging diet or even the smoking diet. Most fads can cause death and serious illness. Dr. Phil talks about this on his show. The first one he talked about was the self proclaimed sun addicts.
Self Proclaimed sun addicts.
Dr. PHIL talked about sun addicts and being addicted to tanning and how bad it really is. Sun tanning addicts actually causes wrinkles, pre mature aging,skin cancers,and it also inhibits the immune system and can cause melanoma cancer. Plastic surgeons have to reconstruct over 500,000 faces each year from different case of sun cancer and the numbers are rising. The cases of people coming up with melanoma cancer is rising fast doctors recommend before you leave the house to have a spf 15+ these are good sunscreens to recommend. The fad has been around for many years but the popularity has picked up quickly as the years go by. The closer you are to the equator the more common sun and skin cancer is. if you have light hair and light eyes, or skin that is fair and freckles easily, many moles and moles of unusual shapes and sizes, work outdoors a lot or have a history of skin cancers in your family your probability of getting skin cancer is higher than others. The tanning risk is quite dangerous as people have tanned themselves to death. Therefore tanning fads are fatal and are very bad.

Conclusion

Worksheet 5.
I have learnt that health fads are bad and should not be followed. Health fads are a trendy diet or obsession that people follow. Most are food diets that help lose weight or make you skin clearer, but some of them are drugs,smoking,looks,surgery and even fitness fads. I learnt that most fads can cause liver, kidney,stomach,heart problems and sometimes death. I’ve learnt that before trying fads, trends,diest etc. i should research a little bit about it and check with a doctor before trying them.
Companies promote their diets, trends and fads by relying on the reviews of other people and they have Facebook and Instagram accounts and websites. Most reviews are very good but if they are bad it puts the company down and sometimes out of business.
My Fad.
My fad consists of eating 3 fruits a day and eating salads and healthy food for lunch and dinner. this is not a terrible fad because it doesn’t destroy anything in your body and it keeps you feeling replenished and feeling fresh and it makes you a much healthier person and you feel good about yourself and it actually helps you loose weight. It keeps you so healthy that most people end up living longer if they are healthy. My fad/Diet/Trend is good and i don’t know what could possible go wrong.
