In the morning, I went to buy multigrain pancakes and soy milk, and the merchants used plastic products. Takeout was ordered at noon, and the takeaway was packed in a disposable plastic box. The snacks eaten are also packed in plastic bags. Plastic products are present in every aspect of life, and we have long been surrounded by plastics.
Microplastics will enter the human body through disposable cups of drinking soy milk, take-out lunch boxes, etc., and then gradually enter people's nerves, liver, etc., accumulating over time, reaching a certain amount, it will make waves.
In order to reduce the harm of plastic products, 10 things to do well in life.
1.Use as little plastic as possible.
Use as little plastic and plastic products as possible, especially disposable plastics, use glasses for drinking water, do not use disposable plastic cups, disposable plastic cups are not made of paper, and there is a layer of plastic inside. Avoid single-use boxes. Use less disposable things and more glass or stainless steel products instead of plastic products.
2.Do not use plastic bags for cooked food.
Don't use plastic bags to pack cooked food, it's best to bring your own glass tableware to buy buns, see someone pour the hot beef soup directly into the plastic bag, buy hot porridge is also packed in plastic bags, this meal will eat how many digits of it. In particular, do not use colored plastic bags to contain cooked food, it belongs to recycled plastic bags, the higher the temperature of the food, the greater the oil content of the food, the more harmful substances in the plastic bag are dissolved, and long-term eating of such food may cause cancer.
3.Avoid putting plastic bags inside the bowl to hold hot food.
Some merchants try to save trouble, often put a plastic bag on the bowl, claiming that their plastic bag is a food-grade plastic bag, and customers do not raise objections, merchants use plastic bags to pack hot porridge and other food, sometimes have to put two bags, otherwise the hot porridge will immediately burn the bag. The harmful substances in plastic bags are easy to precipitate when exposed to high temperature and high oil food, which is harmful to health.
4.Do not heat food in plastic containers.
If the food is to be heated in the microwave, it must be placed in a glass bowl or porcelain plate and then put in the microwave oven to heat, never put the plastic container directly into the microwave oven to heat, hot milk should be poured into the bowl, and then put in the microwave to heat.
5.Use straws sparingly.
Drinking milk, the drink is best without a straw, it is best to pour it into a bowl, heat it and then drink, especially if you can't drink hot milk drinks with a straw, it is strictly forbidden to put the milk bag or yogurt directly into the microwave oven to heat.
6.No plastic bottles of oil.
The oil in supermarkets is basically packed in plastic drums. Try not to hoard edible oil in our home, try to buy small packages, buy less large barrels of oil, and use glass products for oil control pots, not plastics. When buying fresh-keeping bags, you should buy food-grade fresh-keeping bags from big brands.
7.No plastic bags.
When you go shopping, always have a cloth bag in your bag. Try to use less plastic bags from descendants, especially some small traders and vendors, in order to reduce costs, use red or blue recycled plastic bags, these plastic bags contain more harmful substances.
8.No disposable toiletries.
Bring your own toiletries for travel, and don't bring disposable toiletries from the hotel when you travel.
9.Choose clothes made of natural materials.
Choosing clothes made of natural materials such as cotton, linen, and wool can reduce the shedding of indoor microplastics.
10.Eliminate plastic household items.
Do not use plastic washing baskets for washing vegetables at home, and do not use plastic washing basins. Brush tooth cups with glass, not plastic.
