A recent study shows that only about 2% of diet and nutrition trends on TikTok are actually accurate, which is a worrying statistic.
While social media is a fun way to explore new ideas, it can also spread misinformation that can be harmful to your health. The allure of quick fixes often distracts from the need for evidence-based, sustainable practices, and advice of a healthcare professional that understands your unique health needs.
Dr. Aarti Javeri-Mehta, an Internal Medicine Specialist and Board Certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician, shares with Raemona Magazine that living a healthy life doesn't have to be difficult, but it's rarely achieved through the quick fixes promoted on social media. “Managing your health is all about finding what works specifically for you. Everyone’s body and needs are different, so what works for one person might not work for another. When you come across quick fixes on social media, it’s easy to be tempted, especially if it promises to solve something you’ve struggled with for a while. But always consult your doctor before making any major changes. Finding a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be complicated, but it should be based on science and tailored to fit your unique needs.”
Here are three social media trends that Dr. Aarti Javeri-Mehta would love to set the record straight on:
Ricezempic to lose weight: People on TikTok are soaking rice in water with lemon juice and drinking the starchy liquid as a quick fix for weight loss. It’s being promoted as a DIY alternative to pricey medications. But here’s the truth: the minor weight loss some experience is likely just from cutting calories, not from anything special in the rice water. If you’re looking for real results, stick to a nutrition plan and exercise habits that can be consistent to your lifestyle, and seek advice from health professionals.
Dry scooping protein powder or pre-workout: This trend involves swallowing protein powder or pre-workout supplements straight from the scoop, without mixing them with water, to supposedly boost energy and performance. It might seem like a shortcut, but it’s actually dangerous. Dry scooping can lead to choking, accidental inhalation, and even heart problems due to the concentrated stimulants. It’s much safer—and just as effective—to mix these supplements with water as directed. Your health isn’t worth the risk!
Detox teas for a flat tummy: TikTok is full of videos promoting detox teas as miracle weight loss solutions. The idea is tempting—just drink tea and watch the pounds melt away. But these teas often contain strong laxatives or diuretics that can cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and other digestive issues. Plus, there’s no evidence they lead to lasting weight loss. Instead of risking your health on these fads, focus on proven methods like a tailored plan that complements your existing lifestyle.
Dr Aarti Javeri-Mehta advises on how to spot potentially inaccurate health trends, "When watching health trends on social media, always be cautious of anything that promises quick and dramatic results. Look for advice that are backed by credible sources, like peer-reviewed studies or recommendations from certified health professionals. If a trend seems too good to be true or lacks scientific evidence, it’s best to steer clear and consult with your doctor before trying anything new."
