Enter.... Microplastics.
These tiny plastic particles are now found everywhere. They are in our water, beverages, food, food containers, air, and now they are inside our bodies. A recent study found microplastics in the bloodstream of 80% of participants. They’ve been detected in lungs, placentas, and even in the brains of mice. Unfortunately, they don’t just hang out quietly. They cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and can disrupt growth and hormone function. All of these directly affect athletic performance, health, immunity and longevity.
