You probably go to supermarket and buy your household cleaning products without giving much thought to it, apart from maybe price or if you prefer lemon fresh to pine fresh!

However have you ever considered some of toxic and potentially carcinogenic chemicals that go into many of these products?

Many people could suffer ill health due to toxic chemicals present in many products used in home. These could range from cleaning products to toiletries.

Fewer than a quarter of 70,000 chemicals used in toiletries and cleaning products have been fully tested for safety, and some classed as hazardous waste are often found in baby lotions, eye drops and cleaning fluids. Many of these chemicals accumulate in human body causing cancer and other diseases.

While 8-12 glasses of water is great for average sedentary person, many of us are fitness conscious or on pursuit of some type of bodybuilding physique. With that in mind, I think new standard for us should be 1-2 gallons of water a day.

Usually it does this via water. So drinking plenty of water becomes a necessity. Increasing protein puts a strain on your body and drinking lots of water can keep things “moving.” Creatine monohydrate supplementation requires a lot of water. Creatine is all about cell volumization. Making sure your cells are completely hydrated helps with volumization process. NO2, a hemodilator, requires water. Many other supplements require water as a transport and a flushing method.
