Health Fads to Enjoy and Avoid

Everyone knows that fads happen. Most of the time we look back on them and go "What were we thinking?" You know what I'm talking about; things like the 1970s, Beanie Babies, and the lemonade diet. But some fads are great and change us forever. I've got a list of current health fads that I think are amazing and a list of health fads that have got to go. Let me know what fads you enjoy and think should stay so I can check them out! 

Fads to Enjoy 
1. Yoga. It is amazing! It relaxes, stretches your muscles and releases tension, tones your body and even helps with weight loss. Try it out! 

2. Vegan/Vegetarian Recipes. They take veggies to a whole new level. Check out vegan/vegetarian cookbooks and blogs to get ideas on how to put a healthy twist on all your favorite foods. 

3. Fasting. I'm not saying to go extreme, but fasting 1-3 times a month may have benefits and I think its worth giving it a try. 

4. New foods. Quinoa, celeriac, acai, kale...the list goes on. All these foods add great variety and excitement to a healthy diet. Its aways good to find new healthy foods so try new foods out! 

5. Homemade cleaners. Skip out on the harsh chemicals found in commercial cleaners and make you own using baking soda, vinegar, and dish soap. 

Fads to Avoid 
1. Raw vegan. Its just not healthy, plain and simple. Classic example of too much of a good thing (ie fruits and vegetables) becoming a bad thing. 

2. Detox diets. Your body really doesn't need help to detox. It has a liver and 2 kidneys to take care of that. If your body isn't detoxing you'll know it and probably end up on dialysis or getting a liver transplant. 

3. Gluten free. If you don't have celiac disease or a diagnosed gluten intolerance stop with the gluten free! Gluten free doesn't mean heathy. 

4. Organic/natural. You aren't getting what you pay for.  Doesn't necessarily mean its more healthy and it almost always means twice the cost.

5. Strange supplements. They aren't regulated so you don't know what you're really taking and what you're hoping to accomplish with a supplement probably could be accomplished with a balanced diet.
