Many people don’t realize that our body can absorb the toxins from the chemicals and dyes from the fabrics we wear when we sweat — staying healthy isn’t just about what we put into our bodies, but what we put on it! Our bodies are temples and we should treat them as such. Luckily, with TMPL Sportswear, a made-in-Canada athletic line, it’s easy to do that! Not only is TMPL made with fabrics and dyes free of toxins, but it’s conscious — all of its products are made in Canada with fair living and health benefits — and it has all of the performance benefits you’d expect from a high-end athletic brand.
