Microplastics: Part 1 of 3

9d (edited) • Education

Did you know the average person eats, drinks, and even breathes in tiny pieces of plastic every single day? These are called microplastics (smaller than 5 mm) and nanoplastics (so tiny they can cross into our bloodstream).

💡 Scientists have found them in:

Human blood 🩸
Placenta and breast milk 🤰
Lungs, liver, and even the heart 💔

The problem? These plastics don’t just sit quietly — they can:

Disrupt hormones (leading to fatigue, weight gain, and fertility struggles)
Cause inflammation in the gut and other organs
Carry toxic chemicals and heavy metals into your body

👉 Imagine your body working hard every day to process food, detox waste, and balance hormones — and then constantly being bombarded with plastic particles.

⚡ Did you already know we’re walking around with plastic inside us? What’s the craziest place you’ve heard microplastics have been found?

I will post part 2 next Friday!
