today I'm going to talk about three
things that you should avoid in the
kitchen avoid eating if you actually
love your health the first one I'm going
to talk about is
microplastics now what are microplastics
these are the tiny little pieces of
plastic that get shed into our food and
into our water from containers that we
store our food in you know that that
container the plastic container you buy
uh that you can actually put leftovers
in you know the uh containers you get
for takeout you know that the plastic
cups that your drinks come in or the
plastic bottles that your beverages uh
come in or even the plastic jugs that uh
water gets delivered in right or bottled
water uh so turns out that microplastics
are shed into our food and our water and
when we actually drink them guess where
they go everywhere and our body doesn't
know how to get rid of it very
efficiently in fact it's been estimated
every single week uh the average
American ingests a credit card worth of
plastic that's a huge amount of plastic
it gets into our organs it's been
detected in our blood uh which is pretty
scary and more recently there's been a
study published uh in the New England
Journal of Medicine by a group of
researchers from Italy from Belgium and
from the United States and what they've
actually found is that people with
cardiovascular disease have plastic
embedded into the plaques that are
blocking their circulation they were
studying people that were getting
something called an aomy this is a
procedure that's often done in the neck
where there is a narrowing due to the
blockage and uh you go into the neck a
vascular surgeon and you just pop out
that uh the the plaque that's blocking
it what they actually found is that many
uh of the patients actually had
fragments of plastics microplastics and
nanoplastics even smaller studying these
plaques this is actually crazy to think
about but obviously the plastic has got
to go someplace that we eat uh This
research study found that those people
who actually had plastic embedded in
their plaque had a
4.53 increase in mortality chances of
dying from heart attack or
stroke that is actually kind of the nail
and the coffin uh and I would avoid
microplastics and nanoplastics and I
actually avoid all plastic containers in
the kitchen now Plastics are all around
us um and actually the researchers are
not even sure if all the Plastics they
found in these plaques in the body came
from uh the food although they they
suspect so Plastics can also come from
uh the air that we breathe there's
plastic floating in the air when we're
sleeping we're inhaling uh plastic into
our systems they've even found plastic
in the ocean obviously but they found it
at the bottom of the marana's trench
that's the deepest part of the ocean so
in the kitchen avoid Plastics and
microplastics whenever you can second
thing to avoid charred Foods you know
that uh barbecue grill uh where you
actually get these burnt ends or the
steak that you're actually on the
skillet and you wind up actually getting
this nice Char on it okay be really
really really careful that Char is a
carcinogen and it is composed of they we
even know what's actually in it that
makes it particularly dangerous there's
something called
P that's
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons p a
poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and
there's o something called heterocyclic
aromatic amines or HCA so p and HCA
these are
carcinogens really really nasty ones so
although those crispy burnt ends kind of
like remind us of the barbecue you know
the the the fun times I can tell you
that those are the most dangerous parts
of the meat to eat so you've heard
enough about like trying to cut down or
cut out um your red meat well here's if
you do eat red meat um by all from all
every angle what you want to do is avoid
the charred part because that is
carcinogen if you have meat just trim it
off that's what I would recommend that
you do right I mean think about it when
you're actually if you have a piece of
bread that's actually charred you're
going to cut that off or just toss it
out so don't eat those burnt ends third
food I want to tell you to avoid is
fried foods fried foods actually have a
carcinogen in it as well it's called
acry amide and acry is a kind of plastic
and I want to explain this to you
because we all love I think human nature
tells us we love crunchy crispy Foods
all right I I love it as well but I can
tell you what the science tells us is
that when you fry food whether it is
fish and chips whether it's french fries
I will tell you that the Browner it gets
the crunchier he gets all right the more
acrylamide naturally forms as part of a
chemical re action hey if you're
enjoying this content then I know that
you'll love this new resource I have on
foods that you should swap out and foods
that you should swap in to improve your
health and to prevent disease my
resource helps you identify the foods
that are probably sitting in your pantry
or fridge right now that I recommend
ditching and tells you what to replace
them with that's been shown in research
and human studies to strengthen your
body's Health defenses so it's time to
toss out the bad and bring in the good
you won't want to miss out on this
resource that I'm offering get it for
free right now in the caption below now
back to the video acry amide by the way
is H what we use for super glue all
right it's also what we use in plastic
uh models and other things that you
might actually see that is not something
that you want accumulating in your body
so if you're going to eat fried foods
which I don't recommend that you do uh
if you do it once in a while okay as a
special treat don't eat too much of it
cut it this is an example of something
to cut down or cut out but be very very
cautious be aware that the darker the
fried food the crispier it is the more
acrylamide it's going to be and it's
going to accumulate in your body all
right so let's recap here three foods to
avoid food stored in plastic or
beverages stored in plastic because of
the microplastic that can get all over
our body including in our blood vessel
and even in the plaques all right number
two charred food charred Meats
especially these are the poly cyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons or the
heterocyclic amines these are
carcinogens and fried foods uh the
darker the fry the crispier it gets the
more acrylamide there is a plastic that
accumulate in your body three things to
avoid I hope you found this useful
thanks for watching hi there if you
enjoyed watching this video I know you
love the next one stay here and check it
out and I'll see you there
