Chlorine is an inorganic substance that chemically bonds to the protein in our hair and skin, destroying its natural ecological balance. It's great for removing stains in your laundry, however, chlorine can leave your hair dry and brittle and make your skin flaky and itchy. It can also trigger negative reactions in children, the elderly, and people with chlorine sensitivity.
FREE CHLORINE IS HIGHLY OXIDIZED
"Taking
long hot showers is a health risk, according to research presented last week
in Anaheim California, at a meeting of the American Chemical Society--and to a
lesser extent baths--lead to a greater exposure to toxic chemicals contained
in water supplies than does drinking the water. The chemicals evaporate out of
the water and are inhaled. They can also spread through the house and be
inhaled by others. House holders can receive 6 to 100 times more of the
chemical by breathing the air around showers and bath than they would by
drinking the water"
Studies show
that for better health, chlorine should be removed from our drinking water.
Chlorine in your shower water is not only absorbed by your skin, but inhaled
from the steam and spray.
Most
people are surprised to
learn that one can absorb up to 600% more contaminants in your body in a
ten-minute shower than in all the water consumed in a day.
