Mike reviews a study linking microplastics to higher cardiovascular disease risk, noting their presence in body tissues and impact on heart health. He advises reducing plastic exposure through diet and lifestyle changes, like avoiding plastic bottles and using saunas.
One of the most significant sources of microplastic exposure is from drinking out of plastic water bottles. Food packaging (including disposable coffee cups) is lined with polyethylene, which contributes to microplastic exposure.”
