When something is trying to be proven to true because an authority figure or expert said it was true without any other evidence

Connection
Many celebrities do advertisements for commercials that they may know nothing about but are paid to say things to the audience. This is very common and this is just one example of this red flag. The things said by the celebrity is usually not proven to be true by any other fact other than they said it was true.

Connection
This red flag is very common in mainstream media and politics to divert the audience into thinking about something else when a threat is present or the topic does not want to be talked about. In this video there is a clear example of how the red herring fallacy is used to help Obama to divert the attention to facts that will help him

This red flag is when someone tries to persuade you that a certain explanation,treatment or model must be correct because it's been around for a long time

Connection
This article is from a healthy eating website that displays that people use techniques based solely on "ancient wisdom". This is one of many different articles on the website that are not proven by science or diet specialists. It is just information that is proven because people have been doing it for years.

According the Ayurveda, the tridoshas - vata, pitta and kapha - are the fundamental basis of understanding the human body. The balance of the doshas is affected by seasonal changes, lifestyle choices and diet.

Not only is eating for your dosha a great way to keep your body in shape, but an important part of ensuring your Ayurvedic treatments and lifestyles are having the optimal impact.

Before we get into the guidelines of eating for your dosha, here are a few things to keep in mind about healthy eating habits:

Ayurveda strongly recommends you eat only when - and always when - your body feels hungry. Don't pay attention to the clock or fitting a certain number of meals into your day. Listening to your body's needs is an important part of the Ayurvedic diet. The same goes for thirst: drink water when you're thirsty, not just because you feel you need to meet a quota.

That said, do sip water (preferably warm, not iced) during meals. "Sip" is the operative word here as the ideal state of your stomach post-consumption of a meal should be a third each of water, air and food. A general guideline for quantity of food to be consumed at each meal is what would fit comfortably in two cupped hands, and no more.

Remain seated while eating and avoid television or reading during mealtime. Fresh fruits and vegetables are highly preferred, as is seasonal produce. Ayurveda also recommends each morsel of food be chewed at least thirty times before swallowing.

With that in mind, and as temperatures cool and the body undergoes its seasonal changes, stay in fighting shape with this Ayurvedic diet tailored to your dosha.

(Not sure how to determine your dosha? This is a good place to start.)
If you're Vata:
Cool, dry, rough and light are the properties of vata. Eating food that's warm, moist, oily, smooth and nourishing neutralizes excess dryness, thus balancing excess vata. The vata is calmed by lubricating and nourishing the tissues, while supporting digestion and the natural elimination of waste.

Anything cold or frozen (including chilled beverages), large quantities of raw produce, carbonated drinks.

Dry foods (popcorn, beans, crackers, etc.). They're examples of drying foods that may exacerbate excess vata.

Limit your intake of stimulants like caffeine and nicotine.

Avoid grains like barley, buckwheat, couscous and millet.

Fasting should also be if you have a predominant vata dosha.

If you're Pitta:
Hot, light, intense, penetrating, pungent, sharp and acidic are the properties of pitta, and an excess of pitta often manifests in the form of a fiery temperament and a hot body. To help both remain calm, cool and composed, include food that's cooling, stabilizing and sweet, and exclude food that's sour, salty and pungent.

Pungent or sour vegetables like tomatoes, hot peppers, carrots, beets, eggplant, onions, radishes and spinach, and fruits like grapefruits, apricots and berries.

"Warming" spices like ginger, cumin, black pepper, fenugreek and cloves should be used sparingly. Chili peppers and cayenne (they're intrinsically hot) should be avoided completely.

Beef, eggs and seafood aggravate pitta and are best avoided.

Buckwheat, corn, millet and brown rice, and the oils of corn, mustard and sesame aggravate pitta.

Bland vegetables like asparagus, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, pumpkins, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, okra, lettuce, green beans and zucchini should be on the menu, as should predominantly sweet fruits like grapes, melon, cherries, coconut, avocado, mango, pomegranate, pineapple, oranges and plums.

Use soothing spices like coriander, cardamom, saffron and fennel as often as you can, and the recommended choice of oils for cooking (and dressings) are virgin coconut oil, olive oil and sunflower oil, as well as ghee.

Grains like wheat, white rice, barley and oats help balance pitta.

Meats like turkey, chicken and pheasant can be also consumed in moderation.

Whenever feasible, add a pinch of fennel or licorice to water, boil it and allow it to cool. This water pacifies the aggravated pitta and calms the body.

If you're Kapha:
Cold, heavy, oily and intense are properties that define kapha-dominant people. Cold and damp conditions aggravate kapha, while warmth helps balance. Foods that are warm, light and dry are best suited for kapha constitutions.

Consume food that's light, pungent, astringent and bitter. Apples, pears, pomegranates, cranberries and apricots are great for kapha constitutions.

Spices like ginger, pepper, cayenne and black mustard help in balancing kapha, as do foods such as chicken, turkey, seafood and eggs.

Favor buckwheat, rye, millet and corn.

If you're finding it difficult to eliminate dairy from your diet, low-fat yogurt and low-fat milk are preferred options.

If you miss cooking with oils - try using clarified butter (sparingly) instead.

Sunflower and pumpkin seeds are acceptable options for nuts.

Drinking a few cups of organic green, black or ginger tea every day is helpful in maintaining the ideal kapha balance.

Post #8 Reasons for Belief: Patternicity

# data[].attributes.body
Definition
Patternicity is the natural instinct for humans to see patterns in things even when they are non existent
Connection
Whether you are hearing patterns in sounds or within objects humans tend to find explanation for things through these. This can be a very common thing and also a very strange thing for many as you actually convince your own brain that there is something there but when you take a step back it is non-existent

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Humans have a tendency to see patterns everywhere. That's important when making decisions and judgments and acquiring knowledge; we tend to be uneasy with chaos and chance (Gilovich, 1991). Unfortunately, that same tendency to see patterns in everything can lead to seeing things that don't exist.

When something cannot be linked to an identified cause or explained by science
Connection
A good connection for the unexplained is a topic discussed in previous weeks called , The Hum. This unexplained sound heard by a low percentage of the population around the world has yet to be explained and is a global phenomenon to many. Science has yet to give a solid explanation and we are left with many theories.

Post #9 Reasons for Belief: Emotional Connection

# data[].attributes.body
Definition
This occurs when you are emotionally attached to what you want to believe in
Connection
A very common example of emotional connection making us believe things that we may normally would not is , mediums or psychics that will tell you something about loved ones futures or about the afterlife. This person may tell you about someone who has passed in your family that is trying to connect with you and will tell you what you want to hear so you have this emotional connection to want to believe them so that you can live through them

This red flag is when people remember things that confirm what they believe but seem to leave out the parts that do not help their case or contradict what they want to believe

Connection
This red flag is used by many people on even a regular basis. One good example that could go both ways is Religion. People who do believe in a God and pray everyday for good things to come and then eventually good things do come for them and they now believe that because they prayed and believed in God that this was their reward. Now on the other side of things people who don''t believe in a God can say that you do all this praying and then there is no results and something bad happens to that person they then confirm with themselves that praying does nothing.

Define Problem
The problem being chosen is from #2 and it is that many people will live their lives just based on ancient wisdom which can lead to unhealthy or unsafe lifestyles

Gather information
There are many websites and articles that have all these different techniques used by people for years that gets a lot of views and comments. People around the world use these tactics in everyday life. Some of which may not be healthy. Eating certain ways and following eating patterns just cause an article told you to can lead to vitamin deficiency

Evaluate Evidence
There is a lot of evidence that points towards people following many ancient wisdom websites but there is no evidence that suggests it is harmful or positive to peoples lives

Recognize assumptions, emotions, bias :
I recognize that it is hard to judge those who follow these techniques as i myself have no proof of them not working. I personally would not follow any diet websites that are not scientifically proven but people are open to try what they would like

Synthesize evidence, identify alternatives
It is important to look deep into the techniques used and how they can benefit people and why people choose to use methods that have been used for years . There are so many websites and hearsay that it is hard to gather all evidence of the methods and the results of them

Select best alternative
In conclusion i think people should definitely pay close attention to what methods they are using and keep close track of what they are doing in order to keep safe

The red flag Proof by Verbosity is when an argument or point is way too complicated and detailed for anyone to reasonably argue the main points
Connection
When it comes to the Proof by Verbosity red flag i believe that Donald Trump is a very good example of this. If you look at any speech or statement he gives out when talking about a subject he tries to make himself a lot smarter and use many details and hand gestures to try to prove a point. By the time the audience has a chance to look through the information it is either too late, they cant be bothered or they already believe him.
