\ud83c\udf0d There are approximately 350,000 chemicals used worldwide, many of which end up in our water supply.
\ud83d\udeb0 Toxins in our water can accelerate the aging process.
\u23f3 Exposure to toxins can lead to oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which contribute to aging.
\ud83d\udca7 Popular toxins found in water include heavy metals like lead and mercury, as well as pesticides and industrial chemicals.
\ud83c\udf3f Reducing exposure to toxins and ensuring clean water sources are important for maintaining youthful health.
