In the last few weeks, all of us have been bombarded with social media posts, ironically about

Tik-Tok, a social media platform by bite dance, possibly being shut down or being forced

to be sold as per the United States government.

And in that light before we say goodbye to this app that helps some of us get through the

pandemic by checking out cool little recipes and dance moves, I figure let's go ahead

in health care and talk about some of the health care trends that have flooded through Tik-Toc recently.

I've done this topic before where there have been some dangerous things.

This time we're going to be talking about some trends that are actually kind of positive and others that we want to be able to

warn our patients about. I'm Dr. Nakeetsl on Paul, your friendly-nibbered internist and gas

entrantroologist and join me while we review some of the positive and negative trends on Tik-Tok before it goes away forever. pretty much means we're going to be back to Facebook. Remember how we use the check into places?

Ooh, cringe.

Now, before we jump into any of these trends,

whether they're positive or outright negative,

remember, some of the ones that are actually good for you.

You want to still do your research and due diligence before you follow anything

you hear on social media. 95% of the time they're trying to sell you something and the rest of the

time it's just hocus pocus. And so if there is an exercise challenge or some form of health care

trend that is positive, you want to speak to your physician and make sure you've read through

everything before embarking on it. And that brings me to my first topic. The big actual trend on Tik-Tok these days are walking pads.

Now, I'm not saying to any of you to go out and buy a walking pad, but it's become kind of a viral sensation for people who work at home.

Since the pandemic, many people are staying home or working from home

and therefore getting physical fitness is difficult.
