It’s no secret that social media can be bad for your mental health. Studies show heavy usage of apps can lead to increased risk of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and in extreme cases, self harm or suicidal thoughts.
And now charity bosses fear that certain popular food trends could be negatively influencing users’ eating habits. Martha Williams is a senior clinical advice coordinator with eating disorder charity Beat. She described the trend as “really dangerous”, and says that those sharing the videos may not realise how damaging they can be.
Another common trend known as ‘WaterTok’. The hashtag is used by people who make ‘recipes’ using water and flavoured ‘skinny’ syrups, with some creators influencing followers to drink these instead of eating meals. Martha is aiming to raise awareness of the potential dangers of these trends, and encourage users to consider the possible implications of what they are posting.
