The Importance Of Choosing Organic Coffee
Crazy for coffee?
Here’s what you need to know about choosing organic for you and the planet.
Coffee crops are worth over 100 BILLION dollars worldwide and the market for those beans we all love is constantly booming.
Unfortunately, only around 6.6% of these numbers account for organic coffee!
So, why is it important we choose organic over conventional coffee?
Drinking conventional (non-organic) coffee can have many harmful effects on the body, planet & farmers..
☕️ NON-organic coffee promotes deforestation which impacts on our environment negatively and the loss of habitat for millions of animal and plant species.
☕️ Certified ORGANIC farmers are apart of a fair trade agreement where they are subject to higher wage vs conventional farmers and do not have to be exposed to toxic chemicals in the growing process (which is incredibly harmful to their overall health and lungs, even more-so in pregnant women).
☕️ ORGANIC coffee is significantly higher in antioxidants and other important nutrients that can help:
✔️fuel the brain
✔️protect damaged cells
✔️boost immunity
WHY? Because the soil it grows in is REAL organic matter, which is full of nutrients and minerals, unlike the soil that is manufactured for conventional growing, which consists of synthesized nutrients and gmos (yuck)!
Organic farmers also don’t use toxic chemicals like pesticides and herbicides during the process. These chemicals enter our bodies and get deposited in to our fat stores which are difficult to rid the body of
These are just a few reasons why you should try and make the switch to organic! It’s a great way to start carving the right path towards a healthier, holistic lifestyle. You will be exposing your body to less chemicals and more nutrients DAILY while still get that buzz you need, just a lot cleaner — not to mention drinking organic tastes way better! The two most impactful ways to increase the demand and knowledge around organic coffee is awareness and your purchasing power as a consumer, so educate your family and friends!
