They are very important! Because During a 10-minute shower, your body
will absorb 10
to 50 times the level of waterborne chemicals that it would from
drinking a glass of the
same water. During a warm shower, the pores of our skin
open up and absorb chlorine
and other chemicals at an accelerated rate. Even
worse, the steam you inhale is far more
contaminated than the water itself, due
to the fact that synthetic chemicals, including
chlorine, vaporize much more
rapidly than water. While over 98% of the water that comes out of
your
showerhead goes down the drain, almost all of the chemicals vaporize into the
air you
breathe before the water hits the ground, making the steam more
concentrated with chemicals.
Also, inhaled chemicals go directly from the lungs
into the blood stream and have magnified
adverse effects. But, if the only
benefits related to shower filters were cosmetic, we also
recommend them as vital products.
Showering in purified water offers amazing benefits for skin
and hair. Anyone
who has ever gone swimming in a chlorinated pool knows how chlorine dries
out the skin and hair. The thing most people do not realize is that we typically
have more
chlorine in tap water than in our swimming pool. It is one of those
products that, once you use it,
you will never do without it. And, you will
likely feel compelled to tell others. It’s like seeing a
great movie for the
first time!
