Overview
This video explains how microplastics enter the brain and discusses methods for removing them from the body, particularly focusing on strategies to clear them from the brain and reduce exposure.
Key takeaways
Microplastics in the Brain: Recent findings indicate that human brains are composed of approximately 0.5% plastic by weight, a figure projected to increase, with nanoplastics being small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Removing Microplastics from Blood: Plasma donation, plasma exchange, Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBO), and Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) are discussed as potential methods to reduce microplastic levels in the bloodstream.
Sweating and Excretion: Sweating, through activities like sauna use, is suggested as a method to excrete toxins, heavy metals, and BPA, and potentially microplastics.
Glymphatic System and Sleep: The glymphatic system in the brain is crucial for clearing toxins and waste, and its efficiency is enhanced during deep sleep. Melatonin, a sleep hormone, may also aid in this process and has antioxidant properties.
Reducing Exposure: Simple lifestyle changes, such as switching from plastic to wood or glass food containers, utensils, and avoiding plastic-based personal care items and clothing, can significantly reduce microplastic intake.
