The Health Trends Experts Say You Should Avoid

A growing number of wellness trends promise rapid weight loss, detoxification, disease prevention, or “natural” cures. Health experts warn that many of these trends are unsupported by strong scientific evidence and may even cause harm.

Rather than following viral health advice, organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) recommend evidence-based nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and appropriate medical care.
