Microplastics: The Invisible Health Risk in Your Daily Life

By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara

You can see smoke in the air, dust on your table, and oil floating on water.
 But what about something you can’t see — yet it’s everywhere?

That’s the reality of microplastics — tiny fragments of plastic less than 5 millimeters wide. They come from bottles, packaging, clothes, cosmetics, even the air we breathe.

Where Do Microplastics Hide?

  • Food & Water: Bottled water, seafood, table salt, even fruits and vegetables absorb them.
  • Air: Synthetic fabrics release plastic fibers we unknowingly inhale.
  • Daily Use Products: Toothpaste, scrubs, cosmetics, and plastic containers all contribute.

You may not notice them, but your body definitely does.

How Microplastics Affect Your Health

Microplastics don’t just “pass through.” Research shows they may:

  • Carry toxic chemicals into your bloodstream.
  • Trigger inflammation in tissues.
  • Interfere with hormones → worsening thyroid, PCOS, and fertility issues.
  • Affect gut microbiota → leading to digestive and metabolic problems.
  • Increase risk of cancers and heart disease over time.

It’s a slow, silent damage — much like smoking or pollution.

Can We Reduce Microplastic Exposure?

We can’t avoid them completely, but we can cut down:

  • Prefer steel, glass, or ceramic containers over plastic.
  • Filter your drinking water.
  • Wash fruits & vegetables thoroughly.
  • Avoid microwaving food in plastic.
  • Choose natural fabrics (cotton, linen) instead of synthetics.

Microplastics are the hidden pollutant of our generation. They may be tiny, but their long-term health impact is huge. By making smarter choices, you can reduce your exposure and protect your metabolic, hormonal, and overall health.
