I like the way you think! I too believe my body has evolved a way to deal with plastic. My current theory is that is why it is so difficult to go poop, my liver is banishing all plastic to the sewer via my butthole. I trust my body and immune system explicitly, if i monitor my plastic exposure and visualize and truly believe my body can process it, i reckon my chances go up. My testosterone is actually at an almost normal level, and many other health markers are great, despite chain smoking black and milds and chugging monsters

Unfortunately, microplastics is only a part of environmental toxins. We are also exposed to PFAS, PFOS, glyphosate, dioxins, DDT and BFA just to name a few. The rise of chronic disease is most likely due to a cumulative effect of all of the environmental toxins rather than a singel substance. It is possible to reduce the exposure for all of these however, you need to know what the sources are. I haven't heard of a single Health Agency that speaks up on this issue and has tried to inform the population on avoiding environmental toxins. Good work on informing about how to reduce microplastic exposure.

Summary: microplastics are tiny plastic particles that are found everywhere in our environment, including our food, water, and the air we breathe. They can also be absorbed through the skin. Microplastics are accumulating in our bodies and may cause negative health effects in the long term. Sources of microplastics: synthetic textiles, car tires, dust, road markings, coatings on ships, personal care products How microplastics get into the body: inhalation and ingestion Potential health effects of microplastics: gut health problems, metabolic changes, brain degeneration, immune system problems, reproductive system problems How to minimize exposure to microplastics: reducing inhalation (wear a mask, breathe through your nose), reducing ingestion (avoid bottled water, eat less seafood), supporting your body’s detox systems (gut, respiratory system, skin, liver, lymphatic system, kidneys) How to mitigate the damage of microplastics: supporting the immune system (eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, reduce stress), reducing inflammation (eat antioxidant-rich foods, avoid smoking and alcohol), supporting gut health (eat probiotic foods, prebiotic foods, reduce stress), supporting reproductive health (eat healthy fats, avoid processed foods) There are some things you can do to help remove microplastics from your body, such as taking apple pectin, zeolite nanoclay composites, and activated charcoal. However, He also says that more research is needed in this area.

[@shrumdumbi8718]

I'm glad you're telling us how to minimize exposure without making us fearful and also saying we shouldn't make it our whole life trying to get rid of microplastics, because it is honestly very stressful to always worry about it.

Then they do stupid things like no plastic straws wrapped in paper, just paper straws wrapped in plastic. Hearing that my body is full of microplastics was enough for me to delete at least 90% of plastic from anything that goes in or on the body.

[@Max.Qc...999]

Well at least theres no testicules in my bottle of water...

[@braulio1204]

WTF is this why girls in my school keep saying "Mmm. Microplastics, yummy"

[@tw20239]

Idk but that's pretty funny lol 😭

[@2k7u]

This needs to be shown to everyone

[@GrayFox45]

Great video! I have an odd question. Has there been any research to see if microplastics are released from the testes during ejaculation?

[@bluyu]

The first priority, given that pollutants are everywhere, is to stay healthy and reduce stress. The body heals itself faster when it has the ingredients it needs. Sleep well, get clean air, eat healthy, and be active. A lot of us don't do these things enough, me included.

[@sargkookie3118]

I personally am in a situation where i have no choice but to drink from plastic. But appreciate the data

[@user-jh3cz7eo8l]

best video ive seen about this and ive been paranoid about it for a long time, it is important to not become obsessive over things like this

[@marvinlang3777]

appreciate the effort you put into this, thanks G

[@DiscoLizzard]

these are the notes that I took in case anyone wants them Inhalation: - frequently clean up dust (with wet cloths as to not stir it back into the air) - air purifiers - indoor plants that clean air - gently wash clothes/sheets at lower temperatures and spin speeds Ingestion: - avoid food that has touched plastic - don't use teflon or use metal utensils if you do - don't microwave food in plastic - don't drink from plastic bottles, particularly if they've been heated by the sun or otherwise - drink (remineralized) water from a reverse-osmosis filter - get meat, poultry, and fish particularly from high-quality sources - drink loose-leaf tea only - get milk that comes in glass bottles Contact: - avoid cosmetic/hygiene products that come in plastic - only wear clothes made with natural fabrics, particularly underwear - use bed sheets made with natural fabrics - avoid touching/using plastic things in general (cups, plates, utensils, mice, keyboards, etc.) Enhancing Detox: - eat fiber to promote regular pooping, minimizing plastic absorption via the gut - adopt practices that strengthen the gut barrier ∙ avoid alcohol, drink bone broth, get enough vitamin a & d, eat healthy, etc. - take probiotics/eat foods w/ probiotics - consume prebiotic foods - avoid antibiotics & junk food - eat apples or supplement apple pectin - zeolite nanocomposites - avoid breathing pollution - breath through your nose - sweating via sauna or exercise - stay hydrated - lymph node massages - donate plasma and/or blood Mitigating Damage: - support healthy immune system - grounding - eat antioxidants-rich foods - avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and breathing pollution - prioritize gut health - support reproductive health

Damn! This is some life saving info man!

[@alfonzie7377]

I’ll be buying cotton underwear and t-shirts, especially to the gym, from now on. Great advice bro 💪🏼🔥

[@MrCalektra]

It's great that you are evoking awareness. I really appreciate it ! Stay the course

[@MrPiinQu]

Great video with clearly a lot of work put it

[@BenWinney]

Thank you bro

[@hpcmagik]

Fantastic fantastic breakdown and super helpful video. Subscribed, liked, and saved!

Buys air purifier to remove plastic from air, checks inside, made of plastic.

[@sean_mccormack]

I wouldn’t wear bamboo clothes cos of the process it goes through to be turned into a textile

[@FlamingAirplane]

Please elaborate

[@Anthonybrother]

@@FlamingAirplane research stuff.

[@adils786]

​@@Anthonybrother no

[@FlamingAirplane]

@@Anthonybrother I did and couldn’t find anything conclusive, therefore I asked the person who made the claim in the first place

[@firstname-qq3xp]

This is like saying natural is better so i'm gonna swallow lava cus it's natural. SURE, the process takes many chemicals, but whose to say they stay. For example, sodium chloride becomes salt after a half hour. Need specifics.

[@matthewlandry251]

We need a stainless steel water bottle , coffee cup exchange program. We've learned this way through cheapness and profitablity. Change the paradigm.

[@Baptized_in_Fire.]

Joe Muggs had ceramic coffee cups you could buy, and they gave a discount on coffee to anyone using one of their mugs. You paid for the cup, but could use it forever.

[@HockeyJock]

22:50 Bone broth is almost a perfect food… but it concentrates heavy metals that settle in bovine bones. Lead for one. So it’s important to always take cilantro with bone broth ingestion.

[@RiceaxeGaming]

Clorella algae bind plastics to get them out of the body. Mostly the gut and intestines though.

[@epants8507]

I’m stuck living in the city 😔but I’m very appreciative of the information you’ve presented. Thank you

[@Sheikah_Architect]

Damn this sounds like something that used to be a conspiracy theory

[@GnasherGear]

Ironic most conspiracy theorists are getting proved right i still can’t get over the fact Alex jones was right about the gay frogs

[@SootyPhoenix]

Polyester clothing and plastic beverage bottles should be banned. Other problematic products such as car tires at least have a practical use other than maximizing the profit of greedy megacorporations.

[@Ricky-_-H]

Oh man I’m glad I don’t drink water bottles. Anyone working in trade field get a steel metal have gallon or gallon water bottles because it doesn’t absorb plastic in your bottles and wash it once a week because the plastic lenses can create mold you can remove them just be careful having water leaks

[@shad0w7x56]

Just by watching this video I can say that if this stuff is a problem in the future, I’ve definitely preordered the expansion pass for it💀.

[@mikethespike056]

This has been an amazing video! (i know that sounds AI generated but i promise it's not) I've been researching microplastics for several months now (by reading papers. im not a scientist) and the realization of how deep in the shit we are was genuinely frightening. I try to tell people of the new discoveries when a paper comes out by almost nobody seems concerned and they quickly change the topic. Obviously I'm not trying to spread panic, just awareness. Thanks for making this video. It's very well made and your focus on various studies is an excellent approach when discussing an emergent topic like this. It's a shame you published it before the brain paper that dropped like a week ago :/ I can't even imagine what kind of damage they're causing in there. Well, probably causing dementia, like the study suggests.

[@Fugitive685]

I am not paying thirty dollars for that guide. I’ll just research

[@chrisspedling75]

Ya ur a real one for this video. I can tell ur a smart person (very rare)

[@BeforetheStorm.]

Great video for limiting microplastics in the body

[@GavenJr]

The micro plastics have already breached our defenses... You've seen what it's done to our colleagues!
