You
wouldn't knowingly bathe in toxins every morning...or set out to ravage
your lungs and sinuses, irritate your allergies, aggravate your skin,
or...perhaps most Willingly increase your risk of cancer... would you? Of course not. But the fact is, chlorine and its by-products in your shower water are powerful toxins-deadly to bacteria and fungi, and possibly poison for your body. You absorb 6 to 100 times more chlorine in a shower than you do by drinking the same water! Tests show that your body can absorb more chlorine as a result of a 10-minute shower than if you drank eight 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 mutations, 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. 100 years of sickness in the making For almost 100 years, chlorine has been added to disinfect our municipal water There's also evidence indicating that chlorine damages protein in your body. As I'm sure you're already aware, this disinfectant/bleach dries your skin, causes damaged and brittle hair, and burns your eyes. But what you may not know is that if you suffer from any of the following, chlorinated water can make your condition worse:
But that's just for starters. More hazards of chlorinated water When
chlorine reacts with the organic matter already present in water
(humus, the organic material formed from plant decay), toxic
by-products can form. Chloroform, for example, causes cells to mutate
and cholesterol to oxidize. Once used as an anesthetic, chloroform was
banned by the FDA in 1976 when it was discovered to cause cancer. The evidence is clear. The advice is simple: Stop chlorinating your body!
