A New Study Suggests Exercise Could Help Defend Against Plastics<\/h2>\n

June 3, 2026<\/p>\n

\n

At this point, microplastics and nanoplastics have become one of those health topics you almost try not to think about too hard. They\u2019re in bottled water, takeout containers, household dust, seafood, synthetic clothing, and increasingly, inside the human body itself. Researchers have now detected microscopic plastic particles in blood, lungs, placentas<\/a>, arteries<\/a>, and multiple organs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The uncomfortable part is that scientists are still figuring out what all of this actually means for long-term human health. But the list of concerns keeps growing, including inflammation, oxidative stress, hormone disruption, fertility changes, metabolic dysfunction, and even neurological effects<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But, at the same time, researchers are starting to look less at whether we can completely avoid modern environmental stressors and more at what helps the body tolerate them better.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where a new study<\/a> published in The FASEB Journal<\/em> gets interesting. Researchers found that moderate aerobic exercise appeared to blunt several harmful effects of nanoplastic exposure in zebrafish, including oxidative stress, hormone disruption, reproductive damage, and anxiety-like behavior.<\/span> https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/new-study-suggests-exercise-could-help-defend-against-microplastics<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let me add that I first learned about the particle exposure from automobile tires in 1991 when I interviewed the first director of the San Joaquin Unified Air Pollution Control District while I was working on my Ph.D. There are many ways that we are exposed to microplastics, but it is interesting that exercise appears to be one way to eliminate them. That actually brings to mind a 1970s telecast that I watched featuring the late Garner Ted Armstrong where he basically pointed out that exercise could eliminate many toxins.<\/p>\n

While it does not mention detoxifying from microplastics, the following video does explain that there are many health benefits from exercise:<\/p>\n

The Plain Truth About Exercise<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

A 2019 report shows that Americans are becoming sedentary. Since it is a physical thing, should Christians be concerned about exercise? Could not exercising possibly be a sin? What did the \u2018Plain Truth\u2019 magazine report about exercise? What is the US CDC reporting about exercise? Can exercise help prevent diabetes, heart disease, and obesity? Can exercise help sleep, endurance, and aging? Are there scriptures about exercise and health? What about laziness? What are some of the risks and benefits of exercise? Dr. Thiel addresses these subjects and more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Regarding other concerns about microplastics, Dr. Joseph Mercola posted the following:<\/p>\n
