W9 Wellness Center reveals that microplastics are a silent danger that remains and accumulates in the human body in the present era.University of New Mexico research finds microplastics in brains and accumulating in vital human organs
Microplastics, or plastics smaller than 5 millimeters, were found in brain samples from 2024 at an increase of approximately 50% compared to samples from 2016.
- From the current way of life that is difficult to avoid contamination from plastic chemicals
- Point out the problem that Toxins or contaminants remaining in the body can become serious health problems in the long term. For people in a fast-paced era
Recommend methods for checking and examining initial symptoms of the body. For those who may In the risk group have Too many toxins remain in the body Unknowingly from Daily lifestyle
Dr. Pichak Wongwisit The director of W9 Wellness Center said:
It can be said that people's current lifestyle cannot avoid receiving toxins and chemical residues that are around us from our daily consumption, especially plastic Which is The main causes of microplastic contamination From use Plastic and foam containers Mostly
Major contaminants Found in plastics include:
- Styrene Found in foam
- Dioxins Commonly found in recycled plastics
- Substance Bisphenol A (BPA) Found in plastic water bottles
These substances When exposed to extreme heat It may contaminate food.
Ingesting small amounts of contaminants may not immediately harm the body, but ifAccumulates in the body continuously May affect Long-term health
The trend of microplastic residues in the body is increasing. By research of University of New Mexico It is reported that
- Since 2021, microplastics have been found to be accumulating in vital human organs.
- Microplastics in the brain were found to be approximately 50% higher than in 2016 samples.
In line with the trend of Increasing plastic use
Report from World Wildlife Fund (World Wildlife Fund) Specify that
- People use about 5 grams of plastic per week.
- Other research indicates that the average person creates at least 50,000 pieces of microplastics per year.
- The amount of microplastics is expected to increase significantly for those who consume processed foods.
A study from Scripps Research Institute found that Microplastics can accumulate in the fatty deposits in human arteries. Which creates a risk of occurrence Heart attack, stroke Or The mortality rate is 4.5 times higher among those without microplastics.
In addition, a recent study in Germany found that microplastic particles can destabilize the lipid membranes that surround all cells, which could affect how cells function in the body.
Therefore, microplastics are a silent danger that we should be aware of and find ways to prevent by using single-use plastics, reducing the creation of plastic waste, and separating plastic waste for proper recycling.
In addition to microplastics, another toxic substance that remains in the body that we should be careful of is: Heavy metal Which is caused by Lifestyle Of people today, such as from Hair coloring, Manicure, Eat seafood, vegetable, Fruit contaminated with chemicals Regularly, the initial symptoms that indicate that there are too many heavy metal toxins accumulating in the body can be observed from the following symptoms:

Because at present, there may be limitations in life, including many people having other personal conditions such as old age, chronic diseases, etc., which make it impossible to take care of themselves to restore the body or eliminate toxins effectively. Body toxin testing at least once a year Therefore, it is an alternative for people who want to take care of their health in a preventive way and plan their own health care to the point. Dr. Phichak say

In a holistic medical examination andWellness health care Will focus on inspection for Analyze health problems Specifically for each individualPlan your health care Or change your behavior to be consistent with the analysis results to Sustainable health
