1. The EPA has stated that every household in the United States has elevated levels of chloroform in the air due to chlorine released from showering water.
2. Tap water often contains at least as much, if not more, chlorine than is recommended for use in swimming pools.
3. More chlorine enters the body through dermal absorption and inhalation while showering than through drinking tap water.
4. The chlorine in showering water has harsh, drying effects on skin and hair.
5. Skin pores widen while showering, making dermal absorption of chlorine and other chemicals possible.
6. The chlorine in showering water can cause rashes and other skin irritations when absorbed by the skin.
7. Chemicals in showering water vaporize at a much faster rate than the actual water. Thus, the steam in a shower contains a much higher concentration of chemicals than the water itself.
8. Inhaled chemicals make their way into the bloodstream much more quickly than ingested chemicals, without the added filtration benefits of digestion.
9. More water contaminants are released into the air of a home from the shower than from any other source.

Water is a major component of the tissues and cells of the body. Without water the human body will survive only a few days. No other nutrient deficiency has such profound effects.

A prolonged absence of water:

• lowers blood pressure
• weakens the heart and
• shuts down the kidneys

Water is the major component of blood and urine and is also found in gastrointestinal juices, perspiration, and even the joints of the body.

The body can store water, but only on a very limited basis. For the body to function optimally, water losses from urine, stool, perspiration, and respiration need to be replenished daily.

Alkaline Water is upto 6 times more hydrating the normal bottled, distilled or tap water. Because of this, nutrient absorption by the cells takes place quickly. Keep yourself hydrated with alkaline ionized water.

Be water smart. Drink plenty of fluids each and everyday!
