Quang Minh (theo Healthline) |

ballistics can enter the body through many paths, including food and drinking water, causing potential damage.

While no fruit can completely remove microplastics from the body, some fruits are rich in antioxidants and fiber, which can help minimize their harm.

Here are 5 types of fruit recommended by health and scientific research organizations:

Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Berries are rich in antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals caused by microplastics.

Anthocyanins can fight oxidative stress caused by microplastics.

Berries are rich in fiber, which helps strengthen the digestive system and eliminate toxins from the body.

Apple

Apples contain a lot of pectin-soluble fiber, which helps attach to the harmful substances in the intestines and remove them.

Studies have also shown that pectin can help reduce cholesterol and improve liver function, an important organ in the detoxification process.

However, it should be noted that apples are also a fruit that is at risk of containing a lot of microplastics, so you need to wash and peel them before eating.

Le

Similar to apples, pears also contain a lot of pectin and fiber, which help enhance digestive function and eliminate toxins.

Pears are also rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.

Orange, tangerine, grapefruit

Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help boost the immune system and protect the body from the harmful effects of microplasts.

The fiber in oranges, tangerines, and grapefruits also helps improve digestive function and eliminate toxins.

Avocado

Avocado contains a lot of fiber and monounsaturated fat, which helps improve liver function and enhances the body's ability to eliminate toxins.

Avocado is also rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.

Note, to minimize the risk of exposure to microplastics, you should choose fresh, organic fruits and wash them thoroughly before eating.

Combine eating fruit with a balanced diet rich in fiber and antioxidants, along with a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise.

Consult your doctor or nutritionist for specific advice on the right diet.
