High Levels Of Toxic Chemical Found In Sport Bras
I do not about you, but if I am working out at a gym or at home, or if I am going out for a run, I always put on a sports bra to accompany my outfit. I know almost all my friends and family members wear sports bras under regular clothes too because they are more comfortable than a regular bra. Working out for most woman without a bra would be very uncomfortable to say the least. Now we find wearing a sports bra can be even worse than not wearing a bra at all.
This research find made me a little nervous when I read it since I have been working out regularly since high school. Researchers have found high levels of a toxic chemical in no less than eight brands of sport bras, according to the Center for Environmental Health. Just one bra can expose its wearer to 22 times the safe limit of BPA which is known to cause such adverse health conditions as asthma, heart disease, and obesity according to researchers.
The companies that were found to include the toxic chemical in their sports bras include Athleta, PINK, Asics, The North Face, Brooks, All in Motion, Nike, and FILA. According to the Center for Environmental Health, “We recommend limiting the time you spend in your activewear by changing after your workout,” the CEH says. -Maryann Morgan
