A new study has found that consuming beverages from plastic or glass bottles could raise the risk of developing high blood pressure due to the presence of microplastics.
These tiny plastic particles, less than 5 millimeters in size, can enter the bloodstream from containers and potentially cause inflammation, tissue damage, and other health issues. Microplastics are found in water, food, and even air, posing significant risks to human health and the environment.
Researchers in the study, published in the journal Microplastics, observed a decrease in diastolic blood pressure after participants switched to drinking tap water for two weeks, avoiding drinks from plastic or glass bottles. They hypothesize that the reduced exposure to plastic particles in the bloodstream might lower cardiovascular risk.
Microplastics, formed from the breakdown of plastics due to UV radiation or physical damage, have been found in various body tissues, including the heart, liver, kidneys, and placenta. These particles are also commonly detected in bottled water.
Experts advise reducing the use of single-use plastic products, such as bottles and straws, and using water filters to reduce microplastic exposure in drinking water. By limiting plastic consumption, individuals may lower their risk of high blood pressure and other health problems associated with microplastic exposure.
