We all know that social media can be dangerous for your mental health, but now physical health is also something to worry about.

According to experts, apps like Instagram, where people love showing off food trends, may be confusing people in what they should and shouldn't be eating.

Nutritionist Dr. Emma Derbyshire says, "Avoidance of food groups is very trendy at the moment but if you follow these diets you need to work very hard to make sure you get the right nutrient."

Instagram is currently ranked the worst for your health, with issues also being self-consciousness, depression, low self-esteem, and sleep-deprivation.

Do you feel like Instagram is ruining your health? Could you live without it?
