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 noticeable, 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.
Shower filters have risen sharply
in popularity in recent years and consumers are increasingly seeking
quality shower filtration products.
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 vaporize 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.
