May 14, 2010, Newsletter Issue #214: Common Asthma Triggers

Tip of the Week

Asthma triggers differ from person to person and even from attack to attack. Generally, anything that affects your airways can trigger an attack. Learn about common asthma triggers and asthma treatments.

1. Chlorine: Some studies show that chlorine dries out the lungs. Use a chlorine filter to eliminate chlorine from your drinking water.

2. Dehydration: Dry lungs lead to difficulty in breathing. Be sure to drink plenty of water.

3. Allergens: Anything that triggers other allergies (mold, pollen, dust, and some foods) can affect asthma.

4. Exercise: Continue to exercise, but be aware of changes in your body that might signal an oncoming asthma attack and slow down or get help.

5. Smoke: Avoid areas where people are smoking. If you must be near cigarettes, sit near an open window for fresh air.

6. Stress: Because stress weakens the immune system, asthma can be triggered by emotional duress. Practice meditation or your preferred relaxation technique.

Do You Need A Shower Filter?

While everyone might not "need" a shower filter, everyone can certainly benefit from using a quality shower water filtration system.

People with respiratory problems, skin disorders or people who live on water systems that use chlorinated surface water, and most do, certainly should use shower filters.

Asthma, bronchitus, eczema and many other common ailments are very negatively affected by inhalation and absorption of chlorine and other chemicals while showering. Breast, colon and bladder cancer have all been linked to exposure to chlorine from drinking and shower water.
"Cancer rates for people on chlorinated water systems is 93% higher than for those on non-chlorinated water systems..." U.S. Council On Environmental Quality

Shower filters also offer great cosmetic benefits. Chlorine robs the skin and hair of their natural protective oils and "friendly bacteria", causing dryness, premature aging and many other potential health and asthetic problems.

Shower filters are easy to install, easy to use... and can be a very healthful and enjoyable addition to our daily lives.
