Microplastics drove me to stop eating bagged popcorn, probably some other items I'm forgetting. Unsure if this will turn into the historical analyses done on items like coffee--one year it's good for you, the next it's going to kill you 🤷
A few years back I started seeing tons and tons of these “health influencers” get super into green juice and of course my (obviously incredibly logical) 17 year old brain absolutely HAD to check it out. Since I’ve owned 2 juicers, done 1 cleanse, and tried numerous recipes. Overall it’s not some “this is gonna change your life” thing, but it definitely helps. When I first started I was juicing a couple times a week in place of a meal and after a few months finally did a cleanse. After the couple months, and one (1.5 day) cleanse I had lost almost 40 pounds. Mind you, this was also 6 months of weight training 5x a week and cardio 4x a week. But it really did help. Since, I find myself reaching for juice when I’m breaking out, on my period, or just kinda tired. I definitely look and feel less bloated, I have more stable energy, and better gym recovery when I am consistently showing up for myself in this way and others.
If you're sick of the fake sugar (stevia, Splenda, etc) in your ninja creamis try this: -1 slate vanilla protein shake -1 tablespoon SF vanilla pudding mix -2-3 dates (blend these in on the first spin & you don't have to freeze them or anything)
Drop some good recipes please
I've read nylon and PET mesh "silk-style" bags release some tremendous amount of microplastics into hot water during steeping #notascientist, but how do I know what my bags are? Any known vendors that specify their bag material?
