A member asked:
I love swimming daily but skin n hair r getting damaged.internet talks about chances of getting cancer n thyroid bcoz of chlorinated water. solution?

Swimming in pools: Swimming in chlorinated pools is an excellent aerobic exercise. Chlorination is a safety measure to reduce infection, much more likely to help than to ever cause thyroid cancer. Don't drink the pool water unnecessarily.
