100 years of sickness in the making
You wouldn’t knowingly bathe in toxins every morningor set out to ravage your lungs and sinuses, irritate your allergies, aggravate your skin, orperhaps most horrifying of all
Willingly increase your risk of cancer would you?
Of course not. But the fact is, the chlorine in your shower water is a powerful toxin – deadly to bacteria and fungi, and poison for your body.
Tests show that your body can absorb more chlorine as a result of a 10-minute shower than if you drank 8 glasses of the same water. How can that be?
A warm shower opens up your pores, causing your skin to act like a sponge.
As a result, you not only inhale the chlorine vapors, you also absorb them through your skin, directly into your bloodstream – at a rate that’s up to six times higher than drinking.
In terms of cumulative damage to your health, showering in chlorinated water could be one of the greatest risks you take every day. In the short term, chlorinated shower water irritates your eyes, your sinuses, your throat, your skin, and your lungs. Long-term risks include excessive free radical formation (which makes you age faster!), higher vulnerability to genetic mutation and cancer development, difficulty metabolizing cholesterol, and hardened arteries.
Showering in chlorine-treated water is a serious risk – but it’s also one of the very few risks you can erase, immediately. And it’s up to you to protect yourself.
