Microplastics and Cardiovascular Health
Microplastics, non-metabolizable by the body, are found to accumulate in arteries, exacerbating plaque formation and cardiovascular risks. Recent studies highlight the significant impact of microplastics on cardiovascular events and deaths, sparking concerns among researchers. Lead expert Dr. Anthony emphasizes the need for awareness and research in combating the dangers posed by microplastics in cardiovascular health.
Autophagy and Microplastic Detoxification
Intermittent fasting, promoting autophagy, aids in clearing cellular trash, including microplastics. Unlike natural metabolic waste, microplastics resistant to metabolism accumulate in the body, challenging their removal and contributing to long-lasting plaque formation in arteries. Dr. Anthony highlights the importance of lifestyle practices like fasting, exercise, and sunlight exposure to aid microplastic detoxification and cardiovascular health.
Estrogenic Effects and Hormonal Disruption
Microplastics and chemicals like phthalates in plastics mimic estrogen, disrupting hormonal balance and lowering testosterone levels. These substances pose risks beyond microplastics, impacting hormone-related health issues and cardiovascular risks. Awareness of the pervasiveness of microplastics in daily items, from foods to clothing, underscores the need for minimizing exposure and supporting the body's natural detoxification processes.
Blood Donation and Chemical Excretion
Studies suggest that blood donation can aid in reducing levels of harmful chemicals like PFOA, supporting detoxification efforts. However, the presence of microplastics in donated blood raises concerns over potential contamination through transfusions. Strategies to enhance detoxification and minimize exposure to microplastics become crucial in promoting overall health and well-being in the face of pervasive environmental pollutants.
Detoxifying the Body Through Sweating and Sauna Use
Regular sweating, whether through sauna use or exercise, plays a significant role in expelling harmful compounds like estrogen mimicking chemicals from the body. Sweating aids in eliminating more estrogens than through urination. The sauna's heat accelerates molecular movement, facilitating the release of various toxic compounds. By actively engaging in activities that induce sweating, individuals can effectively help remove these harmful substances from their systems.
Measuring Estrogen-Mimicking Chemicals in the Body
Mosaic Diagnostics, formerly known as Great Plains Labs, is developing consumer blood tests to measure the presence of phthalates, BPA, oxybenzone, and other estrogenic chemicals in the body. These tests provide individuals with insights into their exposure levels to harmful substances. While consumer tests for these chemicals are not widely available, Mosaic Diagnostics aims to launch their tests soon. Monitoring these chemicals in the body serves as a crucial step towards understanding and managing one's toxic exposure levels.
