You can hardly avoid it completely, but you can do something about it. In addition to reducing plastic in your everyday life, a simple change in diet could help keep microplastics out of your body: more fiber! ### How fiber slows down microplastics Scientists have found that a high-fiber diet can reduce the absorption of microplastics in the body. In a recent study, people with different levels of fibre consumption were examined while the concentration of microplastics in their digestive system was analyzed at the same time. The result: participants who consumed at least 30 grams of fiber per day had significantly less microplastics in their blood and tissues than people with a low-fiber diet. The explanation lies in the protective function of dietary fiber. They act like a natural barrier in the digestive tract and can prevent microplastics from passing through the intestinal wall and entering the bloodstream. As a result, most of the plastic is excreted again before it can cause any damage. ### More than just a protective shield In addition to the potential protection against microplastics, dietary fibres offer numerous health benefits: they support healthy digestion, can lower cholesterol levels and help to stabilize blood sugar. Natural sources of fiber include: - Oatmeal - Chia seeds and linseed - Lentils, beans and chickpeas - berries - avocados - Leafy vegetables and cabbage - Wholemeal products ### How to reduce microplastics In addition to a high-fibre diet, there are other measures you can take to minimize your exposure to microplastics: - Avoid plastic packaging, especially for food. - Don't heat food in plastic containers - use glass or ceramic instead. - Drink from reusable stainless steel or glass bottles. - Look out for microplastic-free cosmetic products. ### Conclusion: small changes with a big impact Avoiding microplastics is difficult in our modern world. But a conscious diet with enough fiber could be a simple and natural way to protect your body from harmful particles - while supporting your digestion and overall well-being.
