Impact of social media on mental health and water health
Social media poses risks to teenagers' mental health and spreads myths about water.
Recent reports highlight the extreme thinness promoted on social media, which can impact the mental health of adolescents. According to Infobae, this trend creates harmful standards, making it important to alert about its associated risks.
On the other hand, El Mundo addresses a new myth on social media suggesting that plain water, whether tap or bottled, does not meet the body's needs. This falsehood, linked to pseudoscience, is debunked by reviewing the composition of mineral-rich water.
Infobae also mentions how excessive screen and social media use can harm the well-being of both children and adults. Signs indicative of an unhealthy relationship with technology are listed, emphasizing the importance of measuring exposure time.
