I always repeat to my patients that \u003cstrong\u003ethe quality of the water is more important than what we eat,\u003c\/strong\u003e because we are 70% water. If the water you drink is not of quality, sooner or later your body will give you a warning. And if you drink quality water, I congratulate you. But you need to know that the water from your shower can be between 10 and 20 times more toxic than the water you drink, and it is important that you avoid this route of contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSome time ago I explained to you \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.remediosnaturales.es\/el-cloro-es-cancerigeno\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003ein this article\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e that taking a bath in chlorinated water is \u003cstrong\u003eworse\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ethan drinking it\u003c\/strong\u003e because you absorb the chlorine directly through your skin. If you didn't know, chlorine is carcinogenic and we must avoid it to avoid contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The vast majority of people are not aware that every time they shower \u003cstrong\u003ethey are absorbing chlorine through water and that can cause different problems\u003c\/strong\u003e in our body such as skin irritation, dermatitis, eczema, itchy eyes, hair loss, acidosis... among other things.. I would like to let you know the best solution that I know and that I myself use to avoid chlorine in your shower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe problem with chlorine is not just its smell or that it dries your hair or skin, but the effect it has on your water supply when it combines with organic matter. When chlorine comes into contact with this organic matter, what is known as disinfection byproducts (DBP) are formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e And these DBPs are much more toxic than chlorine itself. Furthermore, DBPs are responsible for the vast majority of the toxic effects of chlorinated water. \\n \\nAccording to some studies, the toxicity of DBPs is up to 1000 times the toxicity of the effects of chlorine alone. This is why it is good that you pay more attention to the SPDs that are in your water. \\n \\nWhy are SPDs so Dangerous?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e One of the most common disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed by a reaction between chlorine and organic matter is trihalomethanes (THMs). These THMs are classified as group B carcinogens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFor years, researchers have believed that the danger of disinfection byproducts (DBP) occurred only when chlorine was swallowed. But the most current studies show that drinking the water is not the only problem, and it is probably not the most serious either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Here is some information so that you understand the importance of taking into account the quality of the water in your shower:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e On average, you drink approximately 2 to 3 liters of water a day… but in about 5 minutes you are exposed to 95 liters of water when you shower.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e The steam that is inhaled during a shower contains up to 20 times the concentration of chlorine than tap water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e You can easily absorb as many toxins in a bath as you would by drinking tap water for an entire week.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e According to studies, after a 10-minute bath in chlorinated water, your blood levels of THMs (a common disinfection byproduct – SPD) can increase by a staggering 700%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn conclusion, \u003cstrong\u003echlorine and its byproducts are an invisible danger\u003c\/strong\u003e lurking in virtually every shower. And the risks to your health far exceed those of drinking tap water. Now you know why filtering your shower water is even more important than purifying just the water you drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e How Do Toxins Enter Your Body?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e You may have wondered how chlorinated water doesn't simply bounce off your body and go down the drain. The problem with a hot, steamy bath is this:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e It allows your pores to open, which leads to…\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Maximize the level of absorption of chlorine and other chemicals directly into your body and…\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e It helps create a “clear path” for outside chemicals to enter your body fluids and bloodstream – (unlike tap water, where the digestive process has a chance to filter out some of the harmful contaminants.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \u003cli\u003eAccording to studies, after a 10-minute bath in chlorinated water, your blood levels of THMs (a common disinfection byproduct – SPD) can increase by a staggering 700%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The other problem with a hot bath, which most people don't think about, is that with the steam comes… inhalation. Your Bathroom is a Hotbed of Dangerous Chemical Vapors:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e It forms very quickly in the environment with heat and steam. Between 70% and 90% of the chemicals in bath water evaporate before the water reaches the ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Your lungs inhale them in high concentrations and they are absorbed through the skin, which causes them to go directly to your bloodstream.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e They have a greater effect compared to drinking tap water, since there is nothing to filter them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This is the sad truth about how chlorine and other potentially harmful chemicals in your bath water can easily end up in your body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eBut…what are the possible consequences of inhaling and absorbing chlorine and other chemicals into your body?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Potential Health Risks of Unprotected Showering\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e The American Journal of Public Health – Links the absorption and inhalation of chlorine to increased risks of skin irritation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) — Chlorine, converted into vapor, becomes gaseous chloroform.

At that time, most people were satisfied with having water to drink that posed no risk of waterborne diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Obviously, things have evolved in this time, and today, we are allowed to have more information about the effects of chlorine, and the chemicals in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e So, the best option is to find ways to limit those toxic chemicals, DBPs and also volatile organic compounds (VOCs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The incredible thing is that technology has currently evolved enough to give you effective and practical solutions to filter toxins. \\n \\nThere are many options available on the market to filter water, but let's see which one is the best. Requirements for the Best Filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e These are some of the requirements that every shower filter must:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \u003cli\u003eFilter the greatest amount of chlorine – After all the information presented, this has to be essential. You need to remove at least 90% (or more) of the chlorine. This filter removes 99% of chlorine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Have several filtration phases. The Alkanatur shower filter with its triple filtration is the most complete I have found:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e cotton phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Active carbon fiber phase with a patented system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Phase with deoxidation particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Filter the vast majority of DBPs, particularly trihalomethanes (THMs) – As you well know, these byproducts can be more dangerous to your health than chlorine itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Reduce other VOCs (volatile organic compounds) – These are pollutants, (of which DBPs are a part).

Byproducts of paints, pharmaceutical drugs and petroleum fuels are just a few examples…\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Use a multi-stage filtration system – A single-stage system would not be sufficient. The best system is one with multiple filtering devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Use a filtration system – Provide a smooth flow of water – Your filtration system needs to be designed in such a way that it does not clog or affect the water pressure. Likewise, the shower head needs to have good pressure. Multi-stage filtering – A single-stage system would not be sufficient. The best system is one with multiple filtering devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \u003cli\u003eEasy installation- If you need more than 10 minutes to install it with special tools, then I wouldn't even consider it.
