Episode 391: Microplastics

Author: Ali Miller RD April 15, 2024 Duration: 1:06:11

What are microplastics and where are they found? How dangerous are they to human health? How can we reduce exposure and impact? Tune in to hear us discuss how we eat, drink and breathe microplastics, how they can affect human health, and what we can do to offset the effects! 

 

Microplastics are literally everywhere and we are only seeing more being produced daily. Beyond avoiding exposure, a high phytocompound diet is the best way to protect the body from the impact on an immunological, endocrine, inflammatory, and oxidative stress response while protecting cells and even DNA. Learn about specific foods and supplements that can support detox of microplastics and ways to reduce your exposure in your own household.
