Microplastics are tiny fragments of plastic—smaller than a grain of sand—that have made their way into our water, food, air, and even our bodies.
They’ve been found in snowfall in Antarctica, in newborns’ first bowel movements, and in nearly every organ humans have.
According to recent studies, the average adult may consume up to a credit card’s worth of microplastics every week. That’s roughly 5 grams of plastic—through food, water, and even the air we breathe.
These particles don’t just pass through us. They can penetrate cell membranes, disrupt hormones, and alter the gut microbiome. They carry heavy metals and “forever chemicals” into the bloodstream—and they don’t break down like natural materials.
But here’s the good news:
You can’t avoid microplastics entirely, but you can reduce your exposure—and support your body’s resilience.
One simple swap can make a big difference.
☕ Swapping your daily disposable cup for a ceramic mug could cut your microplastic intake by over 25,000 particles a week—just from chosing a different coffee mug.
That’s not a typo. Those plastic-lined paper cups shed thousands of particles into hot liquids, and most people never realize it.
Try this tomorrow:
Swap one plastic item for a safer alternative.
🛍️ Use glass or stainless steel containers instead of plastic wrap
🚰 Filter your tap water with a high-quality system
☕ Bring your own reusable cup to the office
Let your choices reflect your care—not convenience.
