Is TikTok “Indoor Shower” Really Good For You? An Expert Asked

If you’re using TikTok, you’ve probably seen people trying to get into the “inner shower,” it says users help with constipation.

Nobody likes backups, and any home remedy seems like a good option when you find yourself in such a situation.

The round is to mix 2 tablespoons of water with chia seeds and lemon juice (for flavors), leave for 5 minutes and then drink.

It is intended that you need a toilet that acts as an “internal shower” to clean yourself from the inside.

Many people, including nutritionists, have tried and recommended it.

Water rich in chia seeds and fiber favor greater defecation, but such an intensive consumption should be done with caution.

As a TikTok nurse warns, it’s easy to go over the recommended amount of fiber and cause more problems, like diarrhea and more constipation.

Lola Biggs, nutritionist at Together Health, said: That amount.

Chia is rich in fiber and is almost insoluble, so this cocktail of chia, water and lemon should be drunk.

However, it’s important to note that adding fiber to your diet too quickly can cause an upset stomach, so it’s a slow and steady approach.

“Expectations that are too high are also dangerous. Everyone’s gastrointestinal health is unique and there is no quick fix.

Lifesum nutritionist Signe Swanfeld said: “As shown in these videos, very high doses of fiber for those unfamiliar with it can have the opposite effect.”

“If you’ve been constipated for a long time, you may need to contact your health care professional for further help,” adds Signe.
