Microplastics are POISONING us—slowly, silently, and PERMANENTLY.
There are TRILLIONS of microplastics everywhere and they’re
the highest they’ve ever been in our bodies—brain, liver, lungs, everywhere.
But don't panic—there are solutions: 🧵
Experts have studied microplastics since the 1960s.
But just in the last 5 years, they’ve been found in the blood, brain, semen & placenta.
They’re in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the clothes we wear.
Just how small are these invaders?
Microplastics range in size from microscope nanoparticles to a few millmeters.
There are 2 types:
Primary: Manufactured particles used in cosmetics, clothing, etc.
Secondary: Particles broken down from larger plastics.
They penetrate us through food, air, water.
How do microplastics invade us?
• Ingestion: Up to 5g of plastic WEEKLY from food and water (exact amount still being studied).
• Inhalation: we breathe up to 22 million particles/year.
• Skin contact: Direct contact with microplastics leads to exposure.
And the bad news?
Also, microplastics can lead to huge health risks.
Studies show dementia patients have higher microplastics in their brains.
Microplastics can wreak havoc on our gut & metabolic health.
They disrupt the function of vital organs and hormones.
These are the damage they cause:
1. Brain: Neuroinflammation and cognitive decline as they breach of blood-brain barrier.
2. Heart: up to 4.5X increased risk of heart attacks & stroke.
“The truth is that you really need a full spectrum of Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)… and I’m telling you that’s a game changer for your workout, brother”
EAAs may be the secret reason why others are outperforming you.
Here are the reasons why: 🧵
Your body doesn’t actually use protein. It uses the building blocks of protein—amino acids.
Your body combines amino acids to form bone, muscles, hormones & neurotransmitters.
Your body can produce most of the amino acids it needs.
But there’s a twist…
There are 9 amino acids your body CANNOT produce.
You need to consume these 9 in order to function.
That's why they're called "Essential Amino Acids" or EAAs.
