Topics
Rhonda Patrick: 我最近的研究重点是微塑料及其相关化学物质对人体健康的影响。微塑料无处不在，通过食物、水和空气进入人体。微塑料的大小和肠道通透性会影响其吸收率。膳食纤维，特别是可发酵纤维，可以减少微塑料的吸收，促进其排出。研究表明，微塑料会在体内积累，尤其是在大脑中，这可能与阿尔茨海默病等神经退行性疾病有关。此外，塑料中常见的化学物质，如BPA、邻苯二甲酸酯和PFAS，是内分泌干扰物，会影响激素水平，并可能与认知能力下降、生殖健康问题等有关。为了减少微塑料的摄入，建议使用高质量的反渗透过滤器，避免用塑料容器加热食物和饮料，减少使用一次性塑料制品，并增加膳食纤维的摄入。 针对空气污染中的微塑料，建议使用高效空气过滤器，并考虑补充萝卜硫素来促进有害物质的排出。 对于已经摄入的微塑料，可以通过增加膳食纤维的摄入量，特别是可发酵纤维，来促进其排出。此外，补充β-葡聚糖，例如燕麦中的β-葡聚糖，可以促进PFAS等持久性有机污染物的排出。桑拿可以促进一些毒素的排出，但对微塑料的排出效果有限。 Chris Willx: 我对微塑料对人体健康的影响以及如何减少暴露感到担忧。我询问了微塑料的来源、摄入量、吸收率以及对人体不同器官的影响。我还询问了如何检测体内微塑料，以及如何通过改变生活方式来减少微塑料的摄入和促进其排出。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter explores the pervasive presence of microplastics in our environment and their potential impact on human health. It details various sources of microplastic exposure, absorption rates, and the role of dietary fiber in mitigating their effects.
  • Microplastics are ubiquitous in food, water, air, and soil.
  • We consume hundreds to thousands of microplastic particles daily; a fraction are absorbed.
  • Dietary fiber, especially fermentable fiber, can significantly reduce microplastic absorption.

Shownotes Transcript

Dr Rhonda Patrick is a biomedical scientist, researcher and a fitness podcaster.

Every day, your body fends off harmful pathogens with ease. But what happens when environmental toxins like microplastics start to build up? What are they, and how can you protect yourself from their effects?

Expect to learn why microplastics are so prevalent in our everyday lives, how to detoxify yourself from microplastics, which everyday items expose us most to microplastics, where microplastics are stored in your body, the impact on your health being bombarded by microplastics, why your clothes might be one of the biggest offenders of toxic plastic exposure, the best exercises and routines that help you remove microplastics from your system, how to offset your exposure to toxins in your food and environments, and much more…
