One Green Day

Any TV viewer has seen advertisements for some sort of transdermal patch. Normally that patch contains a medication. The person who wears that patch receives a slow and steady administration of that medication. Yet the TV viewers who are familiar with such ads seldom think to ask this question: “Is tap water safe for bathing and showering?”

Few people ask that question, although few people pass-up the chance to enjoy a hot shower. During a hot shower, the pores in the skin allow into the body any chemicals that might hit the skin. If the water from the tap contains any harmful chemicals, then those chemicals can enter the body while some human takes a hot shower.

Is tap water safe for bathing and showering? Now, that is a question you really need to think about. Sure, a lot of people think about their tap water and whether it is safe to drink, but could your daily shower really be dangerous?

No doubt you love your hot shower, but maybe you have started thinking about what all is in your water. That hot shower feels wonderful, but is tap water safe for bathing and showering when there are so many chemicals and other contaminants in water?

Well, let us take a look. First of all, you need to think about the makeup of the skin. Your skin has many pores. The pores of the skin allow your skin to breathe. The thing is, not only can the body release things through the pores, but things can be introduced to the body through those pores as well.

If you have a small bathroom, then you may like to consider a Bath and Shower Tub. This is simply a bath tub with a shower above it. The idea is that you stand up in the bath whilst you shower. Splashing is often protected by a glass screen or plastic curtain.

Another plus to the Bath and Shower combo is that you then have the option of saving space in your bathroom, making room for another cupboard or more storage space. Or you may like to use the extra space to invest in a larger bath tub and really spoil yourself!
