If you come across any claim like: "... is the only food in the World that can cure ... disease?"
This is a sign of checking the literature immediately π
Because, this type of claims most probably lack scientific background π

A common misunderstanding about evolution is the idea that it always produces organisms that are smarter, stronger, faster, or even perfectly suited to their environment.
Evolution doesn't make things better. It's a process, not a decision!

Mitochondria are key to every molecular mechanism in the cells. Now it seems they can also move between cells! The discovery of "Why?" will give insight to many disorders.

It is also supporting our heart health, reducing muscle loss in cancer patients and the elderly, and accelerating recovery in athletes.
Thanks to its high bioavailability and amino acid content necessary for our body.
Is protein powder (whey protein) harmful? No. On the contrary, studies conducted so far show that whey protein is effective in increasing muscle protein synthesis and improving body composition.

Probiotics from fermented foods like yogurt can reduce the toxicity of plastic chemicals,
While fresh, nutritious, and minimally processed food lessen health risks.
6. Eat smaller fish β Fresh sardines, herring, oysters & clams consume less microplastics than larger predators.
7. Skip ultra-processed foods β Theyβre magnets for microplastics from machinery and packaging.
And the BEST thing you can do:
3. Drink purified water β High-quality filters trap microplastics from tap water.
4. No plastic in microwaves β Food can absorb tiny particles from heated plastic containers.
5. Get HEPA air purifiers β Captures small particles before you can inhale them.
If we canβt remove them, directly, how can we avoid microplastics?
1. Reduce plastic use β Avoid plastics in cosmetics, plastic cookware, bottles & single-use plastic.
2. Choose natural fibers β Cotton, linen, wool over synthetics like polyester.
PREVENTION is key. Hereβs moreπ
4. Gut: Increase of harmful bacteria & disrupting digestion.
5. Metabolic health: Interference with cellular metabolismβ linked to insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes.
And the scariest part?
We canβt just REMOVE microplastics once theyβre inside us.
1. Brain: Neuroinflammation and cognitive decline as they breach of blood-brain barrier.
2. Heart: up to 4.5X increased risk of heart attacks & stroke.
3. Lungs: Chronic inflammation, impaired lung function, scarring from synthetic fibers.
