How To Detox From Microplastics And Other Toxins In Our Bodies
How To Detox From Microplastics (And Other Toxins)
Microplastics have been found in human blood, lungs, breast milk, placentas, and even testicles. Here are some detox tips experts gave me:
The Basics
Luckily, our bodies can get rid of toxins, including microplastics, naturally, primarily through stool, urine, and sweat.
Here are some important foundations to keep the detox process running well:
-Healthy digestion and a healthy liver. Keep these in good shape by eating your fruits and veggies (organic is best).
-Drink enough water to keep up the natural process of flushing toxins out through your kidneys.
-Sweat toxins out through your skin naturally, like by exercising or using a sauna.
-Avoid excessive junk food and alcohol which can inhibit our natural detoxification process.
What Else Can Help?
Experts told me these are a few other things people can implement to help:
(*Always consult your physician before taking supplements or changing your diet)
-Astaxanthin, which is a powerful antioxidant. It's hard to get a lot through food, so taking a supplement is recommended. About 10-12mg a day. (This is one of my personal favorites)
-Watercress, a highly nutrient dense vegetable.
-Green tea
-Dandelion root
-Activated Charcoal (powerful, but make sure to read up on how to take this properly)
Limit Your Exposure To Plastic
It's tough to completely avoid using plastics. However, some key areas to focus on are water containers, food packaging and containers, skin care and make-up products, and clothing.
Overall, exposure to microplastics or any one toxin alone might not lead to health issues. But, it's usually exposure to multiple toxins in our environments over a period of time that could lead to problems if our natural detox systems aren't working well.
