* Shower filters can offer surprising health and cosmetic
benefits by filtering out chlorine and other chemicals from shower water.*
IT has been shown that we take in 7-10
times more chlorine & other chemicals from showering
than from drinking water. A recent study published in the American Journal Of
Public Health documented the link between chlorine and breast, colon and
bladder cancer and stated that "2/3s of
the harmful exposure is from showering...". The
U.S. EPA states that "Due to chlorine and showering, there is an elevated
level of chloroform gas in virtually every home in America...". When chlorine
vaporizes it combines with other airborne particles and forms chloroform gas,
a known cause and contributor to asthma and other respiratory problems.
Even more noticable, and probably more popular, are the
surprising cosmetic benefits of shower filters. By removing chlorine and other
chemicals from shower water, you notice softer skin and hair almost
immediately. Anyone who has ever swam in a chlorinated pool can relate to the
harsh effects that chlorine has on skin and hair. Showering in filtered water
allows skin and hair to better retain moisture for a younger, healthier look
and feel.
Recently described by Cosmetology Today Magazine as One
of the most beneficial health and beauty products ever developed...",
shower filters greatly reduce exposure to harmful chemicals in tap water, some
even balance the water's PH for even greater cosmetic benefits. In
a warm shower the pores of the skin open allowing rapid absorption of chlorine
and other chemicals. Also, due to the fact that chlorine
and other chemicals vaporise at a lower temperature and at a faster rate than
water, the steam we inhale while showering has highly concentrated levels of
chlorine vapors.
A quality shower filter will prove to be a great health
and beauty accessory that can be effortlessly enjoyed every day. It's
like showering in natural spring water!
