Description
Fad diets are trendy, and come and go. They are a very profitable business to take part in. It is common for people to be against fad diets, yet so many people still try them. The people who try these diets are often vulnerable, trying to lose weight or to improve their health, and lack a foundation in nutrition knowledge. This makes them easy targets for the marketing of fad diets, which target people's fears and give them hope of improving their health. The people selling these diets misuse their credentials and data to provide their diets credibility that they are helpful and can do more than they do. People's cultures can also play into fad diets, especially with many cultures having a pressure to be thin.

Description
This collection of bilingual health resources addresses the critical health disparities faced by the Navajo (Diné) community, focusing on hypertension and diabetes—two conditions with disproportionately high prevalence rates among Navajo adults. The materials are designed to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps by providing accessible, culturally relevant information in both English and Diné Bizaad (Navajo language).
The hypertension resources explain the causes, symptoms, and prevention strategies, emphasizing dietary choices (e.g., reducing salt intake, consuming traditional foods like squash and sweet potatoes) and stress management techniques (e.g., weaving, deep breathing). Similarly, the diabetes materials include a risk assessment tool using a finger-counting method, descriptions of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and lifestyle recommendations such as avoiding sugary foods and engaging in physical activity. Both sets highlight traditional foods (e.g., blue corn mush, herbal teas) and list local healthcare facilities (e.g., Tuba City Regional Health Care, LeChee Health Facility) for further support.
By combining medical accuracy with cultural sensitivity, these resources aim to improve health literacy, encourage proactive disease management, and empower the Navajo community to preserve their language and traditions while addressing modern health challenges.
