This video discusses the presence of microplastics in human organs and explores detoxification pathways to eliminate them. The speaker emphasizes the importance of gut health, hydration, and lymphatic system function in this process. He also suggests specific dietary and supplemental strategies to support detoxification.
Microplastics accumulate in various organs: Studies show microplastics are found in human organs, including the heart, brain, lungs, and testes, with concerning links to cardiovascular disease. The smaller the particles, the easier they are absorbed.
Gut health is crucial: Maintaining gut barrier integrity is vital. Strategies include consuming collagen, bone broth, glutamine (in moderation), and zinc. Avoiding polyorbates (emulsifiers) and reducing stress are also recommended.
Soluble fiber plays a key role: Soluble fiber can bind to bile acids, trapping microplastics and facilitating their elimination through the stool. Examples include chia seeds, flax seeds, glucomannan, and shirataki noodles.
Hydration and lymphatic system support: Adequate hydration enhances kidney and lymphatic filtration, facilitating the removal of microplastics. Movement aids lymphatic drainage.
Glutathione support: While direct glutathione supplementation is debatable, consuming sulfur-rich foods (eggs, broccoli, garlic, onions) and taking precursors like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) may help reduce inflammation associated with microplastics. Avoiding alcohol and excess sugar is recommended to preserve glutathione levels.
