Did you know that one of the reasons we age is oxygen? No joke.
Billions of years ago back when we were still microbes, photosynthesizing plant-microbes were introduced, and their waste output was oxygen. Unfortunately, oxygen was actually toxic to most life back then due to itshabit of grabbing electrons from other atoms, but they quickly adjusted to become more immune, and even use it as a sort of "fuel"
Unfortunately, it is still mildly toxic to us today, which is why it causes us to age!
