Hazards of Domestic Plastic

Mankind is surrounded by plastics. From fast food to water bottles plastic dictates the world. 


According to a recent study toxic compounds called phthalates found in household plastic can result in Uterine Fibroids. Women who have Uterine Fibroids may experience uncontrollable bleeding and infertility.


Threats Of Phthalates

Researchers found substantially greater levels of the phthalate DEHP and its breakdown products (MEHHP) in the urine of women who also had symptomatic uterine fibroid tumors.


Despite the consequences of DEHP's use being questioned, it is still widely utilized in the US. It gradually dissipates into the air and dust before landing on different surfaces.


How to reduce exposure to Domestic Plastic & Phthalates?

Here are a few ways one can limit exposure to Phthalates. 


  • By using personal care products that are Phthalates-free. 
  • Avoiding heating food in plastics. 
  • Staying away from plastic bottles and food packaging. 
  • Limiting the use of PVC products.

  • One of the largest nonprofit organizations in the US that focus on funding for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders is the American Heart Association. By taking care of the heart, they work to enhance the quality of life.
  • People facing kidney disorders can make use of a wide range of services provided by the American Kidney Fund, including financial aid and health education.

HEALTHY BITES

  • Weed Or Cigarettes: A recent study indicated that marijuana smokers were more likely than tobacco users to experience lung damage.
  • Americans might face Bankruptcy: A new study indicates that one in five privately insured American adults who are hospitalized for a catastrophic injury has medical expenses they cannot afford.
  • C-Section: Researchers hypothesize that kids delivered vaginally may mount a stronger immunological response to several childhood immunizations than babies born via cesarean surgery.
  • Aerobic Exercise: Regular aerobic exercise enhances blood flow to the brain, which helps seniors remain mentally bright as they age, a recent experiment has indicated.
