James O’Loan, Pharmacist and CEO at Chemist4U comments:
“The world of social media has and is continuing to play a big role in our everyday lives and when it comes to decision making around our health and wellbeing, it’s no different. Hearing other people’s experiences with diets can have a big influence on whether or not we too try that diet but it’s important to also think about taking these sentiments with a pinch of salt.
Speaking to an expert nutritionist or dietitian is vitally important in attaining guidance and advice should you want to make a lifestyle change.”
