Swimming in a Chlorinated Pool

Summer is well and truly upon us down-under and a time to laze by the backyard pool or swim in the local council pool.  Most backyard pools along with public swimming centers have clear waters to enjoy.  The waters in these pools are kept algae and bacteria free through the use of chlorine.  This is great but it also has a down side in that we are splashing around in diluted bleach.  Chlorine is not kind to the skin in fact it is an irritant causing dry flaky skin, rashes and in some cases a flare up of eczema.  It is important that after a swim in chlorinated water the skin is thoroughly washed, ideally with a mild goat’s milk soap and moisturized.

Summer is also a time to be vigilant in keeping our bodies hydrated.  Our bodies are composed of about 70% water it is therefore vital for good health that this balance is maintained.  If we do not drink enough water it disappears from our blood supply which leads to narrowing of vessels, high blood pressure, fatigue due to lack of oxygen and risk of strokes.  It also disappears from the intercellular space which leads to raised acidity levels, gout, kidney stones and lower immunity and finally it disappears from the cells themselves leading to higher cholesterol, reduced metabolism and accelerated aging.

We assume that we know when our body requires water, when we get thirsty, but it is not that simple. The older we get the less we feel thirsty, dehydration is a major problem in aging.  There are other signs that indicate we do not drink enough water.

• Dry mouth, sugary drinks and alcohol are not the solution
• Dry skin and premature aging
• Dry eyes
• Joint pains
• Decrease in muscle mass
• Fatigue due to lack of oxygen in the blood supply
• Hunger pains
• Digestive problems
• Stay sick longer, toxins are not flushed out of the body
• Dark urine

Maintaining the water balance in our bodies is vital for our health and wellbeing. Loss of water leads to a chain reaction of health issues and premature aging. If you have read this far it’s probably a good idea that you drink a glass of water. But first check the type of water you are drinking!

If you live in Australia, the water supply has both chlorine and fluoride added. Both of which are detrimental to health.  Chlorine has been associated with bowl cancer, not surprising as it is diluted bleach.  Fluoride on the other hand is a poison, a bi product of the aluminium smelting industry.  We are told it is good for our teeth but we can get the same benefit just from toothpaste.  Fluoride has been banned from most countries for good reason; only Australia, UK, USA and Israel persist in adding this poison to the water supply.  Do yourself and your family a favour and invest in a water filter that removes both these toxic substances.  The investment will pay off with good health.
