Are you still using plastic containers to heat food in the microwave? Maybe it's time to stop! Experts warn that this daily habit may be more harmful than you think, even affecting brain health.
Microwaving plastic containers releases microplastics and nanoplastics - tiny plastic particles that doctors say can accumulate in the body and cause serious harm. They have been found in higher concentrations in the brain, raising concerns about their link to nerve cell damage and an increased risk of neurological diseases.
But that's not the only problem. Microplastics have also been linked to digestive disorders, blood clots, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. That's why experts recommend avoiding plastic when heating food and using safer alternatives, such as glass or ceramic containers.
A small change in your kitchen routine can make a big difference to your health!
