You Can't See Microplastics But They Are All Over Your Home and Can Send You Into a Slow Death

We look at what they are, how to ditch them, and then how to detox from them…

5 Simple Ways To Ditch Microplastics At Home

Microplastic production and human exposure is increasing every year.

These tiny particles (less than 5 mm) and even smaller nanoplastics (1 nanometer to 1 micrometer, about the width of a human hair) are now found in our water, food, air, and household products.

Over time, these particles can accumulate in the body through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact, and have been detected in tissues including the brain, liver, and kidneys.

While research continues to evolve, reducing exposure where we can is a powerful step for long-term wellness.

In this video, we’re breaking down why microplastics matter and sharing 5 easy, practical swaps to help you reduce everyday exposure.

You’ll Learn:

  • What microplastics and nanoplastics are

  • Where exposure commonly comes from

  • Simple household swaps to cut down your intake

  • How to build a cleaner, lower-toxin environment for your family

These are meaningful steps toward a cleaner home and a healthier body.
