5 IDEAL REASONS TO GO TO A NATURAL POOL THIS SUMMER

There’s nothing better than a summertime swim to clear the mind and work the entire body. Now imagine that pleasure without the smelly skin and dry scalp of your usual post swim experience.  It’s possible if you swim in a natural pool, which use plants and sand filters to keep the water clean without chemicals.

Skin Deep

Hands up if you have experienced the damaging effect of chlorinated water in a swimming pool on their hair. However, it’s not only your hair you have to worry about! Chlorine contributes to all kinds of skin irritations from itchy dermis to conditions such as dermatitis and eczema. Plus, it’s thought to cause premature ageing of the skin.

Save the DNA!

Chlorine in water reacts with other human contributions (sweat and urine) to produce an array of hazardous chemical compounds. One such compound – trihalomethanes – may cause genetic mutations by altering DNA, suppressing immune function and interfering with the natural controls of cell growth.

Stay Cancer Free!

Several studies link chlorinated by-products to a greater incidence of bladder, breast and bowel cancers as well as malignant melanoma. So it seems sunbathing beside a beautiful natural pool – along with some quality sunscreen – is the best way to beat the heat.

Breathe Easy!

Again, that pesky compound trichloramine can trigger proteins that destroy the cellular barrier that protects the lungs, making individuals more prone to asthma.

Natural Birth!

Compounds in chlorine have been linked to abnormal and stillbirths so pregnant ladies, natural pools are the healthiest way to continue your antenatal swimming programme.
