This peculiar fad, which some claim showcases masculinity, involves passengers enduring long-haul flights without engaging with screens, or consuming food and drinks, all while remaining silent - a practice that has health experts worried. Toby King, a nutritionist, expressed his concerns to travel website Inspire Ambitions about the potential health risks associated with this trend.
He cautioned that "raw dogging" flights could result in serious health issues such as constipation, fatigue, and even blood clots, not to mention an increased vulnerability to germs. While it's generally advised to remain seated and buckled up during flights, this new trend pushes the boundaries of safety, according to professionals in the field. Toby explained: "The trend requires you to sit still for hours at a time and not take in any food or liquids.
This is a recipe for disaster, that could have terrifying consequences." He further highlighted the dangers of dehydration, especially in the already dry environment of airplane cabins. Toby warned: "Plane cabins have low humidity levels to start with and can cause you to become dehydrated throughout your journey.
If you aren't drinking any water when flying you are adding fuel to the fire." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
