SnappySeashell+FollowIs Bottled Mineral Water Really Safe? What You Need to Know!Bottled mineral water seems like the healthier choice, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Some brands have been found to contain microplastics, which sneak in during the bottling process. Over time, these tiny particles can build up in the body, and the long-term effects are still being studied. Plus, certain minerals in high concentrations—like sodium or fluoride—aren’t always ideal for everyone, especially if you’re watching your intake for health reasons. Storage matters too: if bottles are left in hot cars or direct sunlight, chemicals from the plastic can leach into the water. It’s not about panic, but it’s worth checking labels and storing bottles properly. #FoodKnowledge #WaterSafety #HealthyLiving #KitchenFacts #Food00Share

Brandon Torres+FollowTeach your kids how to swimPlease, for the sake of everything you love — teach your kids how to swim. Please. I’m living proof of what happens when you don’t. I lost my beautiful, sweet daughter because I failed to prepare her. No one else is to blame. Not the water. Not fate. Me. And there’s no way to undo it. Keeping kids away from water isn’t enough. I learned that in the most devastating way imaginable. Now, I live every single day without her smile, her laugh, her hugs. Her birthday, the anniversary of her death... they come and go, and every time it feels like I can't breathe. A part of me is gone forever. Please — don’t wait. Don’t think it won’t happen to you. It can. It does. Teach them to swim. It could save their life. Have you been through something that changed how you parent forever? I’m here if you want to share. #WaterSafety #TeachThemToSwim #ParentingWithLove #LifeLessons #Parenting70Share
