The first thing we changed involved our water usage all over the house. We bought simple filters to put on each shower head that would remove most of the chlorine in our water. Remember our Microbiome? Our skin is our largest organ and has a huge ecosystem of various microbes that actually help us stay healthy. Chlorine, which is meant to kill bacteria, does not discriminate which ones it kills. So every time we shower with that tap water, which has chlorine, what do you think we are doing to our Microbiome?
Next we bought that reverse osmosis water filter for our drinking and cooking water that I have already mentioned (link below)…but as we converted to this system, do you know what else I discovered is found in our tap water? Pharmaceuticals! Yes, medications like ones for blood pressure, for seizures, for lowering cholesterol, for anxiety…you name it. Listen I am a pharmacist by trade and I usually don’t recommend using medications unless you are in crisis, so can you imagine how I felt when I found out traces of all these are in our tap water?!
My Friends, there are so many different filter systems available. Do some research and buy whatever your budget will allow. You don’t have to buy a unit like we did, I know not everyone can afford it, but please use some kind of filter at least for bathing, drinking and cooking. Think of this as an investment. Your family’s health is well worth it!
