conclusion:

In conclusion, I have learnt so many great things on dangerous health fads. Health fads may help some people but there do come down sides. Companies have persuaded so many people by putting celebrity’s faces on a product and then people automatically think well their doing it I can.

A good stratidedgy to keep healthy is to keep exercising and eating healthy long term, so there would be a day were you exercise and then another day where you eat really healthy but you aren’t cutting of all your sugar you can still have  sugar but as long as you have little portions.
