Synthetic fabrics, such as the polyester commonly found in sportswear, may contain chemicals that affect the endocrine system – the group of hormones that control many body functions, including reproductive health, according to data from the National Institutes of Health in the US.
Chemicals used in the production of plastics and fabrics can be absorbed through the skin, especially when we sweat during physical activity, entering the bloodstream. They can interfere with the production and function of hormones, which is linked to a longer time to pregnancy and poor reproductive outcomes.
Polyester itself is not always the main "culprit", but the chemicals used to manufacture and treat it, especially in sportswear, can be a significant concern for the reproductive health of men and women.
In addition to its health effects, polyester also has an environmental impact. As a petroleum-based plastic, it often contains phthalates – chemicals linked to endocrine disruption. Every time polyester clothing is washed, it releases plastic microfibers that pollute water and potentially enter the food chain.
Early research suggests that polyester may also have effects through electrostatic and biological effects. Studies in animals, particularly dogs, have shown reduced fertility after prolonged contact with synthetic fabrics. The electrostatic fields these fabrics create may have biological effects, although this is still being studied.
As polyester continues to dominate the global wardrobe, experts raise a warning: more research is needed to understand its full impact on human health.
Shitblerja e mallit eshte nxitesi i prodhimit e biznesit. Kur del ne stacionet e trenave ne kryeqytet e Europes sidomos, ne zonat e pasura sheh njerez elegante slim e smart e ne zonat e varfera dalin e hyjne ne stacione njerez obese e te enjtur bullare. Pse!? Te pasurit vishen eushqehen smart e shtrenjte me ushqime proteinike e vitaminoze, ndersa te varferit ushqehen shume lire e poshtersisht, keshtu ndihet ndryshimi. Kush eshte ai ose ajo buudalla qe kashmiri, leshi merino, pambuku Egjyptit jane me te miret e me te kendshmit ne trup!? Kush nuk e di qe mishi kilja e mishit $100 eshte me i mire se $10 e pula $30 se pula $3. Si mund te ushqehet i varferi me fruta pylli, truffle, perime organike e jo plehra, etj., etj., E bukura (e bukula) te merr syte. Sportistet sterviten cdo dite me veshje plastike e luajne e garojne me to qe nga koka e deri te kembet. Pat ardhur nje president i landit te Bavarise ne Shqiperi, takoi kaqolin tone Alia e beri shume vizita ne Shqiperi. Ne Berat i shtruan nje dreke madheshtore Shqiptare, ku i vune perpara tepsi me nje qenjgj te pjekur me perime rrotull. Cjane keto u tha taneve? Perime, ua kethyen ata. Keto jane per qengjin e qengji eshte per mua, ua ketheu Gjermani. Hani lesh, pini lesh e vishni lesh (mish, qumesht, lesh} u tha Gjermani Shqiptareve. Kaq. Shtimi e levizja i popullatave morracake te xhunglave e ka zhvilluar shume biznesin e plastikes e te ngjyrave sepse eshte kultura e tyre qe duke u veshur e mbuluar me ngjyra te "praruara" te ndricohet surrati e trupi. Dhe me e "bukura" eshte se ne, ne, ne te BUKURIT jemi bere loder e tyre. Une ka kohe qe nuk shikoj me futboll e sporte te tjera se jane qelbur. Bye!
