Protecting your brain is never about one big thing. It's about many small things working together.
Curious about how microplastics could be affecting your brain health? Molly Watts takes us on a fascinating journey into environmental neuroscience in this Think Thursday episode. With microplastics found everywhere—from the oceans to the air we breathe—Molly discusses the latest research linking these tiny particles to potential changes in brain function and ageing. Highlighting a recent study, she explains how exposure to microplastics in genetically vulnerable mice led to Alzheimer’s-like changes.
But don't worry, Molly's here with practical advice on how you can minimise exposure and protect your brain. From swapping out single-use plastics to choosing natural fibres, she offers simple steps to make a difference. The episode is packed with insights that connect the dots between our environment and brain health, all while encouraging listeners to make mindful choices for a healthier future.
It's not just about the science; it's about taking small steps that can lead to big changes in your life. So, are you ready to rethink how you interact with plastics? Dive into this eye-opening discussion and discover how you can make a positive impact on your brain health and the environment.
