As we push forward into the future, more and more people are introducing diet trends that we do not necessarily need. You need to be careful about what trends you follow regarding food and diet. Social media introduced a new kind of capitalization wherein "influencers" get paid to promote all sorts of things, including diets to be "healthy." While some influencers promote products that help, others are just in for the money. You have to be cautious and aware of these things. You need to always do you research and not take things at face value. You need to find what works best for you and how you ca optimize your diet. Eating just meat and fruits alone ISN'T always the best option. It's all about getting a balanced nutrition set apart from trends and fads.
