Go organic and help the environment

Deciding to eat organic food can do wonders for your health, but did you know that organic farming is better for the environment too?
Modern farming uses a plethora of pesticides and chemical fertilizers to increase their harvest size and to improve the aesthetics and shelf-life of their produce. All these chemicals can have a detrimental impact on our environment so opting for organic produce is the best way to protect it.
We look at some of the reasons why organic is best for our environment:
Protect against pesticides
Although you would think that pesticides would help protect crops, overuse of them could build up disease resistance in plants, weeds and plant-eating insects making the problem even worse in years to come. Once pesticides are sprayed on crops, they affect not only the plant itself but the soil, water sources and air around it, and traces of these chemicals could be left in the environment for decades to come.
Protect against soil erosion
Soil is the most important factor when growing crops or having livestock feed off grass. It needs to be rich in nutrients and minerals to help aid the harvest process or feed a herd with lush grass. By sticking to organic farming methods, the pesticides and chemicals we spoke about will not be draining into the soil, so will help keep it naturally fertile for future crops.
Organic farming methods also promote the age-old techniques of covered farming and crop rotations, which gives the earth a chance to recover from the previous harvest. This helps prevent soil erosion, which is a major concern for farmers across the globe as their land becomes depleted of its fertile top soil and nutrient-rich base.
Protect against drought
Drought is not just an issue in the hottest countries of the world, even the dampest climates have seen bouts of drought brought on by poor soil condition. Non-organic farmers may experience bad drainage and dry soil as the abundance of chemicals takes it toll on soil quality leaving it barren and lacking in nutrients.
To add to this, organic farmers tend to use natural fertilizers, including mulch which conserve natural water supplies.
Protect animal welfare
When humans over-farm land and contaminate water supplies with chemical waste from pesticides and fertilizers hundreds of animals, birds and fish are affected in the process. As their natural habitats are being disrupted they are forced to migrate and their natural reproductive cycle is being affected. Organic farming not only helps to preserve natural wildlife habitat areas but ensures that the livestock they are raising are healthy and happy and will in turn, provide high quality produce.
Protects against algae blooms
Algal blooms are a common side effect of over-farming and constant use of petroleum-based chemicals on land. The green, scum like substance that grown on the surface of the water in lakes, streams and rivers is not only unsightly and affect possible tourism opportunities within an area, but also affects the animals and fish living off the water. Organic farming insures that all water sources are left as unpolluted as possible and protects the natural habit of the animals dependant on it.
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?
- Ashwagandha Dosage for AnxietyFeb 04, 2021I found a supplement that is 500 mg, 120 Count. Do you recommend taking 1 capsule daily? or 2 capsules? I also take thyroid medication and an SSRI among other things.
- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
