Avoiding Microplastics
- Do not use plastic bottles or metal cans (includes food and drink). Favour glass, ceramic, steel.
- Use reverse-osmosis to remove 99.9% of microplastics from water. Also removes: heavy metals, bacteria, chemicals like BPA/PFAS. You must add minerals back into the water such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc (long list) (use remineralization filters, mineral drops, or suppliments)
- Avoid packaged foods as much as possible.
- Microwave safe does not mean the chemicals will not leech into foods, it just means it wont melt. Do not heat foods in plastic.
- Avoid non-stick pans.
- BPA-free is not necessarily safe. (they replace with other harmful substances: BPS, pthalates)
- Avoid take-away paper cups (coffee) (they’re lined with plastic).
- Rock salt (like pink Himalayan) has the least plastic contamination. Avoid sea salt.
- Sweating removes BPAs
- Fibre removes microplastics from the gut: Fiber-fruits, Vegetables, Oats.
- Eat sulforaphane-containing vegetables: raw/lightly-cooked brocolli, cauliflower, brocolli sprouts; to detox the liver.
- Donating blood reduces PFAS and heavy metals.
