Introduction
This video explores the scientific research on microplastics in the human body. The speakers discuss where microplastics accumulate, how they're absorbed, and potential methods the body uses – and ways to support those methods – to eliminate them.
Key Takeaways
Microplastics accumulate in various organs: Studies show microplastics in arterial plaque, linked to cardiovascular issues, and in organs like the brain, lungs, and heart. Absorption occurs primarily through the gut.
Gut health is crucial: Maintaining a strong gut barrier is key to reducing microplastic absorption. This can be supported by collagen, bone broth, glutamine (in moderation), and zinc supplementation. Conversely, limiting polyorbates may be beneficial.
Soluble fiber plays a role: Soluble fiber can bind to bile acids, potentially trapping and eliminating microplastics through the stool. Examples include chia seeds, flax seeds, and glucomannan.
Hydration is essential: Adequate water intake improves kidney and liver filtration, supports lymphatic fluid circulation, and aids in the movement of bile acids. Avoiding plastic water bottles is also advised.
Glutathione support: While glutathione doesn't directly bind to microplastics, it helps manage inflammation, supporting the body's natural detoxification processes. This can be enhanced by consuming sulfur-rich foods and potentially supplementing with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), while avoiding alcohol and excess sugar.
