Why a Chlorine Water Filter is Necessary For Good Health
Though it was 13 years ago, Nadine Bradshaw still remembers how alone she felt caring for her husband. He had small-cell lung cancer. “I felt the same things all caregivers feel: loneliness, frustration, emptiness, anger, and heartache,” she says, “always wondering if I was doing it right.” Fortunately, in Bexar County, no caregiver need feel alone any

Why You Need A Chlorine Water Filter
If you are like most people and are concerned about your health, you are becoming more alert to the need to protect your body from known carcinogens. People are using sunscreens, some have stopped eating hot dogs because of the nitrates and nitrates in most brands, and are giving up the eating of red meat. Many people are even becoming vegetarians, and they are taking antioxidants and all other types of supplements-all good measures to help prevent cancer.
Higher Risk
The next step is to protect your body from chlorine. Though it is a cheap and effective disinfectant for water, it is also a cancer-causing agent. Thus, a chlorine water filter is necessary to guard against this cancer-inducing chemical. Consider that chlorine was used in World War I as a deadly weapon. It burns the lungs and other tissues of the body, when the victim inhales it. Whether a gas or a liquid it is bad for your health to ingest it. It causes bladder and rectal cancer, and breast cancer. People who drink chlorinated water have 93% higher risk of developing cancer, as opposed to those who don’t drink chlorinated water.
Cancer Protection
People can help protect their bodies from these cancers by using a chlorine water filter. Once the local municipal water system has purified the water as much as chlorine can its good function is over. That’s when the individual can take action and remove the chlorine from the home water supply. An activated carbon filter removes free chlorine from the water that passes through it. The rate is 880,000 ppm per cubic foot. The designation ppm means parts per million or per million parts of water. This simple step can help protect you and your family from cancer.
Cheap Insurance
A chlorine water filter could be considered cheap insurance against cancer. You can check out the best filters by looking at a copy of Consumers Digest. They rate the best home water filters every year. If you want the best price on a filter look to buy one direct from the manufacturer by doing a search on the Internet.
