The Problem with Microplastics in the Brain
Microplastics accumulate significantly in the brain, posing serious health risks, as the brain can have seven grams of plastic compared to much lower levels in other organs like the liver and kidneys. Detoxifying the brain from these microplastics is crucial to prevent long-term health issues, especially as these substances can bind with blood proteins and bioaccumulate over time. One of the primary strategies to combat this build-up is ensuring high-quality deep sleep, which activates the brain's lymphatic system, effectively cleaning out harmful substances. Additionally, techniques such as fasting can induce autophagy, further assisting the body in eliminating these toxins.
