Love it or hate it, TikTok is here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, there are trends that circulate on TikTok and people quickly pick up on them. It\u2019s amazing that somebody who doesn\u2019t really know what they are talking about can act like an expert and before long, hundreds or perhaps even thousands of people are listening.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59744\" src=\"https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6a.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6a.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6a-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6a-1024x615.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6a-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6a-667x401.jpg 667w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6a-327x196.jpg 327w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6a-213x128.jpg 213w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"769\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p>TikTok is used for many purposes, but some people use it to get inspiration before going to the gym. They may even decide to follow one of the trends, and that is what we see in the trend of \u2018dry scooping.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>If you go to the gym regularly, you probably either take some protein powder ahead of time or you may know somebody who uses it. Those powders are supposed to be mixed with water or another liquid before they are consumed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59745\" src=\"https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6b.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6b.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6b-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6b-1024x615.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6b-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6b-667x401.jpg 667w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6b-327x196.jpg 327w, https:\/\/innerstrength.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/6b-213x128.jpg 213w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"769\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The dry scooping trend on TikTok, however, has people putting the powder into their mouths and swallowing it dry. This may seem like a timesaver, but it is actually a dangerous trend.<\/p>\n<p>How dangerous can it be? One young woman said that she had a heart attack after doing it. Others say they have difficulty breathing after having the dry powder enter their lungs.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Experts warn against 'dry scooping' TikTok challenge after woman hospitalized\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eYJ3nZNLxsI\" width=\"726\" height=\"423\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One of the potential problems of dry scooping is getting a blast of caffeine at one time. A young woman by the name of Briatney Portillo said that she had a heart attack after dry scooping and she was only 20 years old.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cAfter I took the pre-workout, I started to feel tingly and itchy all over my body, which wasn\u2019t a good feeling, but I googled it and it said that was a normal side effect. \u2026 So I began to do my workout. I started to feel a heavy feeling in my chest and slight pain, but it wasn\u2019t too bad. I thought it was maybe anxiety or a bad panic attack, so I decided to just ignore it and push through my workout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Things progressed from bad to worse after she got lightheaded and later started sweating through her clothes. Her chest pain came back more intensely with pain in her left arm. She knew it was a heart attack so she called 911.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest problems with using a pre-workout powder in this way is that you don\u2019t know exactly what you are taking. According to an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/news\/nation-world\/national\/article252123208.html\">Dr. Jason Nagata<\/a>, those powders are not regulated by the FDA.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor went on to say that those powders could be \u2018laced with banned substances like stimulants, steroids, and other toxic ingredients. Many of these substances can increase risk for heart attacks, liver disease, and other serious medical complications.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Portillo is now sounding the warning, saying: \u201cBeing 20, I would\u2019ve never assumed I\u2019d get a heart attack from pre-workout. I just want people to be careful with what they\u2019re consuming. Just because you see it online, even if it\u2019s \u2018fitness influencers\u2019 doing it, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s safe. Being young doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re invincible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People around the world visit TikTok on a regular basis to learn a new tip&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3047,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"views":54,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/used82.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
