Doctor warns against harmful gut health trend.
Dr. Karan Raj warns against the viral practice of making a saltwater flush, which involves adding a lot of salt to water and drinking it for its laxative effects. The rapid loss of sodium and fluid can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, disrupting the microbiome and causing fissures. Instead, he recommends eating enough fiber, staying hydrated, exercising, and reducing stress to stay regular.
