Top 5 nutrition influencers of 2023 on TikTok
1. Silhouette Challenge
This viral trend started off innocently enough with users participating in a fun challenge to show off their dance moves. However, things took a strange turn when some users began using red filters and wearing revealing clothing during the challenge. This led to some uncomfortable moments and even harassment of participants who did not wish to objectify themselves in such a way.
2. Rubbing Under Tongue
All you have to do is rub your tongue's underside after pressing the tongue's tip on the roof of your mouth (around the veins and slimy corridors). Some who tried it reported that it gave them the sensation of caressing a willy. Such an odd and stupid fad, but given that TikTok is involved, what do you expect?
3. Tooth filing Challenge
Have you heard of the tooth filing TikTok trend? It's a viral sensation where individuals file down their teeth using nail files to create a more uniform and symmetrical smile. While the trend has gained popularity on social media, it is important to note that dental professionals have voiced their concerns about potential damage to tooth enamel and sensitivity.
4. Rotoscope Filter
Rotoscoping (or "roto") is a term used in the animation business to describe the process of manually or digitally monitoring keyframes to mimic a subject's natural movement. The filter employs the same method to transform humans into vibrant silhouettes. It is meant to be entertaining and harmless—until someone uses it to subtly expose their genitalia.
5. Methylene Blue Trend
Methylene blue, which is thought to have anti-aging effects, is being promoted as a supplement by health experts in an effort to improve cognitive abilities, increase metabolism, and even treat Covid-19.Typically, this chemical is employed in science labs and as a cleaning for fish tanks. Of fact, there hasn't been a scientific study demonstrating its advantages for people.
