Microplastics Are In Your Body… Should You Panic?

We eat up to 50,000 microplastic particles every year, but what is that actually doing to our bodies? In this week's check-in, Cherry Healey and Dr Amir Khan break down everything you need to know about microplastics - what they are, how they get into our bodies, and what the latest science really says. They also cover the practical stuff, such as why you should never microwave food in plastic, what synthetic gym wear might be doing to your skin, whether filtering your water actually helps, and simple swaps that can reduce your exposure, without losing your mind over it!
