Microplastics come in two types: • Primary → Shed from polyester, nylon, and synthetic fabrics. • Secondary → Broken down from larger plastic fibers. They are as small as 1/1000th the width of a human hair. You breathe them in. You absorb them. You can’t escape them.

You’re being poisoned. Nike, Adidas & Gymshark are filling you with microplastics, and you don’t even notice. The results? Fertility issues, cancer risk, and organ damage. Here’s how they’re poisoning you (& how to protect yourself): 🧵

Scientists have warned about microplastics since the 1960s. But in the last five years, they’ve been found in blood, brains, semen, and even placentas...all traced back to synthetic fabrics. Every wash, every wear, you’re breathing them in. Now let’s find out how small those hidden threats are:

Now lets see what they can actually cause to your body... • Brain damage → Found in 80% of dementia patients, causes inflammation. • Gut issues →  Disrupts digestion, feeds bad bacteria. • Hormone imbalance →  Linked to obesity & diabetes. • Organ damage → Plastic builds up over time. • Heart → Raises heart attack & stroke risk by 4.5X. And yes, it can get worse...

You can’t remove microplastics once they’re in your body… But here’s what you can do now to protect yourself & your family:

1. Pay attention on what you wear Up to 35% of microplastics in your body come from synthetic clothing like polyester and nylon. Each wash releases over 700,000 plastic fibers, which you then ingest and inhale:

All your favorite brands are loaded with microplastics. • Gymshark → 28% polyester. • Adidas → 96% polyester. • Nike → 38-43% polyester. Polyester = microplastics. No way around it...

This is why I threw away all my Nike shorts & stopped wearing plastic training gear. I switched to 100% organic cotton and merino wool with @RykerClothing. Lightweight, breathable, and toxin-free:

Now let’s look at a few more habits you need to change to stay healthy: 2. Avoid plastics in cosmetics → Plastic cookware → Bottles → Single-use plastics Here’s what you should use instead:

3. Stop drinking tap water → Can contain 100,000+ microplastic particles per year → 55% higher risk of hormone disruption → 40% increased gut issues Do this instead (Scientific advice):

4. Cut out processed foods → 60% of the average diet is ultra-processed junk → Linked to a 32% higher risk of early death → Increases inflammation, obesity, and metabolic disease And completely switch to this diet (for the best results):

5. Stop using nonstick frying pans → Teflon pans release 9,100+ plastic particles per meal → Linked to cancer, liver damage, and hormone disruption → Toxins stay in your body for years Here is what you should use in order to be 100% safe:

6. Choose Smaller Fish → Sardines, herring, oysters & clams have 75% fewer microplastics than larger fish → Predatory fish like tuna and swordfish accumulate 10x more plastic → Smaller fish are safer, more nutritious, and lower in toxins
