New Jersey, Your Sports Bra Could Be Making You Really Sick

We are all trying to be healthy and live our best lives right?  Well, I'm at least working out during the week so I can make eating my sport on the weekends.  Even so, we're putting in our best effort and then we get news like this.

Time to throw out all of our workout clothes, especially our sports bras.  You're probably thinking, "what?!?!"  True story.  Science says they're toxic!  A new study just revealed that high amounts of BPAs were found in almost all of the fabric most of our workout clothes are made out of.

What are BPAs?

They are really bad, let's start there.  BPAs are toxins that are linked to such problems as asthma, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.

Freaking great. Obesity?  Is this a joke?  I'm going to the gym to not be obese and now my sports bra is fighting the cause.  Sometimes you feel like you just can't win.  So what is the solution?  Organic clothing.  Yes, this is a real thing.

I never thought there was any real reason to use organic sheets or clothing but after this discovery now I see why.  When you are putting something against our largest organ (which is our skin by the way so get your mind out of the gutter), you are drinking in what it is made of.  Especially if you are sleeping or working out because you are warm and your pores relax, sweat, and absorb what's touching it.

Don't worry, there are lots of organic clothing options available and there are many websites that only sell safe workout clothing. At least this is an excuse to go shopping!

Lots of celebrities have gone organic with their clothing.  Of course, it is more expensive but Lord knows they can afford it.  Just check out these net worths!
