Environmental Toxins Speed Up Aging and Increase Disease Risk
01 Apr 2025
Story at-a-glance Toxins in the environment make people age faster than normal, increasing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cognitive decline, and metabolic disorders Research confirms that exposure to heavy metals, air pollution and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) speeds up biological aging by altering DNA and interfering with cellular repair mechanisms A major study found that environmental factors influence lifespan eight times more than genetics, proving that lifestyle choices and exposure levels shape long-term health outcomes Air pollution and industrial chemicals accelerate biological aging by disrupting mitochondrial function, increasing inflammation, and damaging DNA, leading to premature disease and early death Reducing toxin exposure through air and water filtration, avoiding processed foods, and eliminating plastic-based products will significantly slow biological aging and improve overall health
