Today, I learnt 3 persuasive appeals. They are Ethos, Pathos and Logos.
Ethos means an appeal to ethics, and it is a means of convincing someone of the character or credibility of the persuader. Pathos refers to an appeal to emotion and is a way of convincing an audience or a person of an argument by creating an emotional response.

I used these to present clearly with data, images and readings of their current health status and if nothing is done to reverse the condition, the possible consequences that they may face. I will also plan out a healthy dietary eating plan for them. With that, I will convince them that by strictly following through this healthy eating plan, they are on the road to enjoying their old age with no fears and concerns about their health.
All in all, with these 3 persuasion techniques, I will be able to win over certain negotiations and
