In today’s modern world, we’re all doing our best to live cleaner, healthier lives—but there’s one sneaky toxin that even the most health-conscious among us can’t fully avoid: microplastics.

These tiny plastic particles are now everywhere—in our water, food, air, and even our bodies. They’ve been found in human blood, lungs, and, most alarmingly, our reproductive organs. At Salt & Sun Wellness, we're not here to scare you—we’re here to empower you. The truth is, we may not be able to avoid microplastics completely, but we can support our body’s natural ability to detox and defend against their harmful effects.

Let’s talk about how.

What Are Microplastics & Why Should We Care?

Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters. They come from food packaging, beauty products, clothing, and even kitchen utensils. They’re so pervasive that they’ve been found in everything from sea salt to bottled water.

Here’s why they matter:

They act as endocrine disruptors, mimicking or blocking hormones and contributing to issues like hormonal imbalances, infertility, PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, and premature aging.

They trigger inflammation and oxidative stress, which is linked to fatigue, gut issues, brain fog, and skin problems.

They accumulate in tissues, including the ovaries and testes, which is deeply concerning for fertility and long-term health.

Nature’s Defense: Daily Detox & Anthocyanins

So what can we do about it?

One of the most powerful tools we have is already on your plate—or should be: anthocyanin-rich fruits and vegetables.

New research highlights that anthocyanins—natural plant compounds found in dark red, purple, and blue foods—can help combat the cellular damage caused by microplastics. Specifically, one called Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) shows promise in protecting reproductive organs and regulating hormones.¹

Top Anthocyanin-Rich Foods to Add Daily:

Blueberries
Blackberries
Purple sweet potatoes
Red cabbage
Eggplant
Cherries
Acai

These antioxidant-rich foods support your liver (your main detox organ), reduce inflammation, and help neutralize oxidative stress. At Salt & Sun Wellness, we incorporate these detox heroes into all our programs—because daily detox isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.
