When it comes to improving your health, many people focus on diet, exercise, and mental wellbeing. But there’s an often-overlooked factor that could be affecting your health every single day — the quality of the water you use, especially in the shower. Did you know that the water running over your body during your shower could be exposing you to harmful contaminants, including mold spores, chlorine, heavy metals, and other toxins? While these might seem like minor issues, over time, they can have a significant impact on your overall health.

It’s time to make a swap and upgrade to a water filter that not only purifies the water but also protects your home from hidden dangers like mold. One simple change you can make is swapping out your regular shower head for the Jolie Shower Head, a high-quality filter that helps safeguard both your body and your home from the dangers of contaminated water.

Most people assume that the water coming from their taps is clean and safe to use. However, municipal water can contain a variety of harmful substances that can compromise your health.
These substances can include:

• Chlorine: Used to disinfect water, chlorine can irritate the skin, dry out your hair, and potentially cause respiratory issues. When you take a hot shower, chlorine is vaporized into the air, where you breathe it in. Prolonged exposure to chlorine can lead to dry, irritated skin and respiratory problems.
• Fluoride: Fluoride can lower tooth decay and it was perceived as beneficial to add to water…but that doesn’t justify the harm it causes overall in the body. Fluoride is a NEUROTOXIN! Studies have linked fluoride to lower IQ, depress cognitive development, thyroid problems, and ADHD.
• Mold Spores: Your water supply can unknowingly carry mold spores, especially if there’s any moisture buildup in your pipes or plumbing. Mold thrives in damp, warm environments, and the bathroom is a perfect place for it to grow. If mold spores are in your water, they can be released into the air during your shower, where they can be inhaled, affecting your respiratory system and triggering allergies or asthma.
• Heavy Metals: Tap water can also contain traces of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, or copper, which can have long-term detrimental effects on your health. Heavy metals are often absorbed through the skin during a shower and can accumulate in your body over time.
• Plastics: The toxic chemicals used to make plastics are known endocrine disruptors linked to breast cancer, testicular cancer, obesity, and other hormone concerns. The average person ingests 5 GRAMS OF PLASTIC A WEEK!
• Disinfectants & Pesticides: Bacteria and viruses are killed by adding chlorine or other disinfectants. Disinfectants and their byproducts have been connected to cancer, liver problems, and nervous system concerns. Pesticides get into our water through soil and water runoff. You could be eating organic and avoiding pesticides on your lawn, but still be exposed to these through your water!
• PFAS: 97% of Americans have PFAS in their blood. We don’t know the cumulative impacts of these chemicals that have been linked to obesity, developmental problems, cancer, infertility, immunity concerns, and endocrine disruption. PFAS are perfluoroalkay and polyfluoroalky substances that share the bond of fluorine and carbon – this bond is extremely hard to break down hence the name “Forever Chemicals”.
• Medications: Potentially birth control and other pharmaceuticals enter the water supply after being metabolized and broken down after being ingested and peed out. Pharmaceuticals also enter the water supply when people flush unused medication. Now it is going to be a very small amount that ends up in your water, but we don’t know the effects of being on a combination of small amounts of drugs!

Radioactive Materials: Uranium and radium are naturally occurring in the soil and we are exposed to them regularly. These materials can leach from the soil into water. These toxins have been linked to numerous toxic effects including kidney damage and cancer.

Even if you can’t see these contaminants, they can still be affecting your skin, hair, and overall well-being. This is where upgrading your shower head to a Jolie Shower Head filter can make a world of difference.

The Jolie Shower Head is designed to remove the harmful contaminants found in regular tap water. Here’s how it works and how it helps protect you from mold, toxins, and other waterborne pollutants:

• Removes Mold Spores and Bacteria: The Jolie Shower Head filter is equipped to remove harmful mold spores and bacteria that can be present in your water. Mold spores thrive in moist environments, like your bathroom, and the hot water from your shower can carry these spores into the air where they can affect your respiratory health. By filtering these spores out, the Jolie Shower Head keeps your air cleaner and safer to breathe.
• Eliminates Chlorine and Other Chemicals: The Jolie filter reduces chlorine and other harsh chemicals from your water supply, which can irritate your skin and hair. Chlorine can strip away your skin’s natural oils, leading to dryness, itchiness, and premature aging. By using a filtered shower head, your skin and hair can retain more moisture, leaving you feeling refreshed and healthier.
• Reduces Heavy Metals: The Jolie Shower Head also helps filter out heavy metals like lead, copper, and mercury that may be present in your tap water. These metals can be absorbed through your skin and hair during your shower, contributing to long-term health issues such as toxicity, hormone imbalances, and neurological damage. By filtering out these metals, the Jolie filter reduces the risks associated with exposure.
• Improves Indoor Air Quality: The steam from your shower can carry mold spores and other pollutants into the air, contributing to poor indoor air quality. By removing mold spores and bacteria from your water, the Jolie Shower Head also helps to improve the air you breathe in your home, reducing the chances of respiratory issues like asthma, bronchitis, and other chronic conditions.
• Softens Water for Healthier Skin and Hair: In addition to filtering out harmful chemicals, the Jolie Shower Head helps to soften your water. Hard water, which is full of minerals like calcium and magnesium, can make your skin dry and your hair brittle. Softened water helps keep your skin and hair nourished, hydrated, and less prone to irritation.

You might be thinking, “Do I really need to change my shower head? Is it that important?” The answer is simple: Yes, it’s incredibly important. The water you use every day in the shower directly affects your health, your skin, your hair, and even the air you breathe. Mold exposure, in particular, can be a silent but dangerous problem that you might not even be aware of. By swapping to a Jolie Shower Head, you are taking a simple but effective step toward protecting yourself from mold and other toxins.

In addition to improving your health, using a water filter in the shower can also help prevent mold from thriving in your home. Mold loves moisture, and the more moisture in your bathroom, the greater the chance that mold will grow. By ensuring that your water is clean and free of mold spores, you are actively creating an environment that’s less favorable for mold growth.

Making the switch to the Jolie Shower Head is an easy, affordable way to protect both your body and your home. It’s a simple change with powerful benefits, from reducing mold exposure to improving the health of your skin and hair. With its advanced filtration system, you can enjoy a cleaner, healthier shower experience every day.
