Doctors warn against excessive use of shapewear due to health risks

Doctors warn that wearing shapewear too often or too tightly can lead to health issues. While shapewear can enhance appearance, it may cause discomfort, breathing difficulties, digestive problems, and muscle weakness if used excessively. Experts suggest that shapewear should be worn occasionally and not for extended periods. They emphasize the importance of choosing the right size and avoiding tightness to prevent negative effects on the body. While shapewear can provide some support and improve posture, it is not a substitute for exercise. Experts agree that it should not be worn during workouts, as it restricts movement and breathing.
