Regardless of the weather, nothing is more relaxing than sitting in your hot tub at night looking at the stars and moon. But how healthy is it to sit in a hot tub?

Hot tubs have tap water, chlorine, fluoride is in the water already, and then either chlorine or bromine as the most popular cleaners and then additional chemicals and fragrances.

Chlorine is not the healthiest thing to be sitting in. Chlorine is commonly found in nature but almost always in combination with other natural building block elements. Every time you drink a glass of tap water, read a newspaper, put on a vinyl raincoat, brush your teeth, drink a diet cola with Splenda®, or drive your car, you are using chlorine in some form.

Chlorine vapors can irritate your lungs and pose a serious risk to people who suffer from lung problems. This is especially true for people suffering from heart conditions or chronic respiratory problems such as asthma or emphysema. Chlorine is also a highly corrosive substance capable of damaging the skin, eyes, and other delicate membranes. Remember how your eyes burn after swimming in a highly chlorinated pool of water?

In their first trimester, pregnant women who drink five or more glasses of chlorinated tap water a day may be at a much higher risk…
