Do you drink water from plastic bottles, heat up your lunch in containers and store food in film?
Then millions of microplastic particles have already accumulated in your body.
They enter the blood, settle in organs and cause inflammation, allergies and even cancer.
Children are particularly vulnerable: toys, bottles and pacifiers release toxins when heated or scratched.
But the most dangerous thing is water. Even filtered tap water contains microscopic plastic fibers that penetrate any barrier.
What to do? Switch to glassware, stop buying water in plastic and refuse disposable bags.
Yes, it's inconvenient, but when you know that a plastic particle can pass through the placenta and harm the unborn child, the choice becomes obvious.
Start small: get a reusable bottle and a canvas bag. The planet and your body will thank you.
But microplastics aren’t the only threat. Plastic containers release phthalates, which mimic estrogen. In men, this lowers testosterone levels and in women, it triggers early menopause.
And washing synthetic clothing (polyester, nylon) sends thousands of plastic fibers into your wastewater. They end up in the fish you eat, closing the loop.
How to protect your family? Choose wooden or bamboo cutting boards instead of plastic ones. Store bulk products in metal cans.
For a picnic, take reusable stainless steel dishes. And never wash plastic in the dishwasher - high temperatures accelerate decomposition.
If you buy water, look for glass bottles or install a reverse osmosis system. Yes, it is expensive, but the treatment for unknown diseases will cost more.
Every choice you make today is your grandchildren's health tomorrow. Don't let plastic steal your future.
