"Scooping Challenge" is the latest TikTok viral challenge that makes various medical experts and other physical trainers concerned. First, some videos show an online influencer consumed raw pre-workout powder. Soon, many young users followed.
And now, another risky challenge is circulation in the popular social media platform. According to WRDW's latest report, the new Dry Scooping challenge is definitely not advised by various medical experts.
This danger behind this new trend was revealed after one of the popular TikTokers suffered a heart attack after partaking in the new viral challenge.
"I definitely wouldn't recommend taking anything dry or without any type of liquid fluid," said Tobe Taylor, a gym owner.
"You're getting this high dose of caffeine right away, rather than most people who maybe sip their drink prior to going into the gym," added Dr. Harish Manyam, the Chief of Cardiology at Erlanger Hospital.
Why Is It Dangerous?
The Independent UK reported that pre-workout powder contains performance-enhancing ingredients such as caffeine, amino acids, creatine, vitamin Bs, and beta-alanine.
If a person consumes too much of these ingredients, it can rapidly increase their heart rate that can lead to a serious heart attack. This is why various medical researchers and other fitness trainers high advise the public to dilute it in water first and read the right amount of scooping for each consumption.
Now, fitness trainers suggested that if you are going to intake one cup of this supplement, you need to dilute it in atleast 200ml of water.
This is just one of the reasons why you should be more careful when trying new viral TikTok challenges.
