New Discovery: This food can help to remove microplastics from the body

A New Study Published in the Scientific Journal Biosource Technology has shown that kimchi, a traditional Korean food prepared by fermented vegetables (most often cabbage), has the potential to help eliminate tiny plastic particles known as nanoplastics.

Kimchi is a fermented food rich in useful intestines, usually prepared by various cabbages, raisins, and spices. He is known for his benefits of training and strengthening the immune system, thanks to the high content of probiotics.

Nanoplastic is a form of microplastics produced by the decay of consumer products. These particles are so small that they can penetrate cells, tissues, and even the barrier of brain blood. According to the American Food and Barna Agency (FDA), they enter the food mainly because of environmental pollution where food is produced and grown, it transmits Telegrafi.

How does kimchi help?

The study has shown that lactic acid bacteria found in the kimchi are related to nanoplastic particles inside the intestines. This allows these harmful particles to accumulate and leave the body through the digestive system.

The tests on rats have confirmed this effect. In rats of both genders, given the type of bacteria Leuconostoc moderoidsInsulated by kimchi, more than doubling the amount of nanoplastics in the trunk has been observed, indicating a more efficient elimination of them through the digestive leaf.

However, researchers point out that these results have been obtained in laboratory conditions and additional studies are needed to confirm whether the same effect occurs in humans.

Alternative in Other Plants

Kimchi is not the only food with this potential. The magazine Food & Wine, referring to researchers from Tarleton State University, has reported that the bamma and the phenugrek can have similar effects.

The scientific team has discovered that when the bam and phenugrek are added to contaminated water, they create a substance that connects microplastic particles into clusters. These piles are then separated from the fluid and eventually fall off, helping to clear the water. /Periscope
