A huge trend that i've been seeing on social media has been waist trainers. They are these magical things that go around your waste and without doing anything at all they will make you lose inches. Wrong. Not only are people scamming you to buy into these things but using waist trainers can actually be harmful to your body.
1) organ damage- wearing these waist trainers extremely tight for long periods of time can cause damage to your organs. placing them in the wrong area can cause permanent damage, and also if the trainer it tight enough you will be receiving less blood and oxygen to your vital organs which can cause symptoms such as dizziness and difficulty breathing.
2) acid reflux- wearing a waist trainer will cause pressure on your stomach there for leading you more likely to have problems such as heartburn and indigestion
3)skin irritation- having the waist trainer on for long periods of time can cause rashes and even bruising !
in the end there really is no reason to be wearing a waist trainer. if you want a smaller waist eat healthy and workout .
I think this is insane that people are being tricked into this false advertisement! I had always wondered if there was any backlash to these products and now I know. Organ damage especially is nothing to mess with as you stated it can change your life entirely if there is permanent damage.
