Medical Professionals, Tell Us The Health "Trends" People Should Stop Doing
The internet is like a goldmine of information, and there's plenty of tips about everything — including personal health. But sometimes, misinformation goes viral and becomes a wellness trend that's not-so-good for you.
So, medical professionals, we want you to set the record straight: What are some wellness trends that you think should go away in 2025?
Maybe you've seen a lot of hype around making DIY sunscreen — and you think it's super harmful because homemade sunscreen doesn't give people adequate sun protection, which can lead to adverse effects like skin cancer.
Perhaps you've seen far too many "detox" diets and regimens, and you think most of them are unnecessary and can be unsafe.
Or maybe you're a dentist concerned about oral hygiene trends like oil pulling because not many people know its potential risks, like weakened tooth enamel.
We want to hear it all. Medical professionals, in the comments below, tell us the big wellness trends that need to go away ASAP — and be sure to explain why.
