Belly Button Challenge

The viral sensation consists of reaching behind your back to touch your belly button to see whether or not you’re in shape. Doctors have expressed concern over the activity as it may cause many participants to grow insecure of their bodies.

Medical experts believe that people battling with eating disorders or their body image could react negatively to the belly button challenge. Being in shape is determined by many factors more than just weight, they add.

The belly button challenge is the latest viral challenge since the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge, which also caused plenty of health hazards.
