Viral TikTok Promises Liver Cleanse; Experts Warn of Misinformation

Headline: Viral TikTok Liver Cleanse Exercises: Fact or Fiction? Grodno, Belarus – A recent TikTok video from the account "Заряд здоровья" ("Health Charge") has gone viral, promising improved liver function through two simple exercises. The video, uploaded on May 20th, 2025, has garnered over 130,000 views and thousands of likes. The author, identified as "health_charge", claims the exercises will detoxify and cleanse the liver, improving metabolism and reducing bloating. However, medical experts caution against such unsubstantiated claims. "There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that these exercises can cleanse the liver," says Dr. Anya Petrova, a hepatologist at Grodno Regional Hospital. "The liver is a complex organ, and its health requires a holistic approach, including a balanced diet and lifestyle choices." The video uses compelling visuals and promises quick results, which may attract viewers seeking easy solutions to health problems. However, the lack of scientific backing raises concerns about the potential for misleading health information. While the exercises themselves may be beneficial for general physical well-being, viewers should consult a healthcare professional before making any changes to their health routine. It is crucial to rely on credible sources of information when it comes to health and wellness, and to approach such claims with a critical eye. The popularity of the video highlights the need for increased media literacy and critical thinking regarding health information found online.
