Around 70% of clothing worn today is made of plastic. This has countless other health problems for us. The issue of low sperm count barely scratches the surface.
Every time you wash synthetic materials, tiny bits of micro-plastics are released into the water system, which flow to the oceans, are eaten by fish, which are then eaten by us.
Avoid polyester, nylon, acrylic and polyamide. Instead, wear cotton, silk, wool, etc.
It’s more expensive, but is infinitely better for you.
For most people it’s not possible to just replace most of your clothes at once. It costs a lot of money. For the last year I’ve been doing the following:
• Get rid of all synthetic underwear.
• Do not buy any more plastic clothes.
• When buying new clothes, ensure they’re 100% natural materials.
• Slowly phase out and replace plastic clothes.
