Organicfoods are gradually altering our traditional unhealthy foods with healthy and
natural foods. Organic food is the same food you eat every day, but is grown by
keeping some standards in mind. These standards were made to protect the
environment from the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers. Some of these
standards include:
1. Not using any artificial fertilizer
2. No use of insecticides or any form of pesticides
3. Use of natural fecal matter for
nutrients
4. Cycling of fields (Not growing the same
plant on the same soil
again
and again).
5. Not using any sort of genetically modified plants
Farmers
grow foodies as well as tea and coffee seeds to make organic beverages that are
much healthier than ordinary beverages. In this article, we will discuss the
benefits of using organic coffee beans.
Whether you
are a coffee lover or a typical coffee consumer, this article is going to help
pretty much everyone. Coffee has a 20 Billion dollars international market. It
is the second biggest commodity after crude oil. Yes, you heard it right;
coffee has more demand in the world than gold.
Benefits of Coffee
The main purpose of drinking coffee is
to increase the caffeine activity in your body thus increasing your working
speeds. Coffee helps you lose weight by burning the fats in your body.
Coffee also makes you physically active by increasing or rushing adrenaline
into your body. Studies have shown that you can boost our speed up to about 11%
by drinking coffee only. Regular doses of coffee also help you maintain your
focus on your daily routine jobs. Coffee has also shown to reduce death risk.
The antioxidants that your body needs can be fulfilled with coffee. Regular use
of coffee also helps your brain and makes it faster than before.
Benefits of Organic Coffee
Organic coffee is the type of coffee,
grown according to the international organic farming standards, whose main
purpose is to protect the environment from the use of dangerous as well as
harmful pesticides and fertilizers. Organic foods and beverages are
comparatively healthier than these daily life products. This is because they
are grown without any fertilizers and pesticides. The benefits of organic
coffee apart from a regular coffee are the following:
1. People who
drink organic coffee seem to have less chances of
getting type-II diabetes
2.
Lesser stroke risks
3.
Strengthening of the body’s immune system due to the presence
of much more antioxidants
4.
Better for liver-related diseases
5.
Decreased rate of cardio-vascular diseases and heart failure
Besides
benefits, we should also look for what major changes that happen in the coffee
bean when it is grown organically. An organic coffee bean has the following
changes as compared to a normal coffee bean:
1. Moderate or a
little better caffeine amount boosts the immune
System.
2. High amount of
antioxidants, minerals and vitamins that boost
the
immunity to help your body fight against diseases.
3. No pesticides or artificial fertilizers.
Environmental effect of organic coffee farming:
Our environment is the most important
thing that we need to conserve in order for our coming generations to survive
on this planet. We already have enough issues to resolve to conserve our mother
nature. However, we try our best to minimize the causes of pollution to this
environment. To do so in the area of farming, we have developed the concept of
organic farming. In this process, scientists have researched and developed
methods to decrease the pollution as much as they can. This includes the use of
land properly for farming. Studies show that organic farming uses 25% more farming
area than usual crops. However, it creates more opportunities for the plant to
get easier and much more nutrients.
The crops
need to be cycled in the same area. Means that growing the same kind of crops
causes a certain type of minerals to be extracted from the soil making it a
certain element-deficient soil. This also causes water erosion in the saplings.
Organic
farming also protects the soil from erosion and water-related crises.
Last but
not the least, Organic fruits have been found to have used the soil in better
ways than any usual crop. This also adds to the benefits of organic coffee.
The
prevention of pesticides and other harmful sprays also helps in the development
of a better air for the plants as well as human beings.
Overall,
organic coffee crops are helpful for you as well as the environment.
How many cups of
coffee are good for you?
The main content we may be talking
about in coffee is caffeine. Due to the large composition of coffee as
caffeine, studies have set a limit for use of little or excess amounts of
caffeine in your daily routine. Different cups of coffee may contain different
proportions of caffeine. Scientists recommend not using more than 500 mg of
caffeine on daily basis. For an estimate, an ordinary 300 ml cup of coffee will
contain about 100 mg of caffeine. Keep in mind that we are talking about the
coffee made from water not the one prepared with milk. Therefore, you should
not consume more than 4 cups of coffee in a day because there are many other
sources that you are getting your caffeine from too. Counting the only caffeine
from your coffee cup might not be enough. Research has also shown that taking
more dosage of coffee does not affect your body much but acquiring very high
doses will lead to dormancy and losing control. So mark the number, four for
your coffee cups.
How does normal and
organic coffee differ from each other?
According to a research, coffee beans
grown by conventional methods can contain up to 1000 chemicals in a single cup
of coffee. This is done by farmers by using some artificial Methods to increase
the yield of their crop, and use pesticides and herbicides chemicals. And it’s not good for the health of the person
who drink this coffee. We admit that decaf machines can process hazardous
chemicals out of the coffee beans but it increases the chances of mishaps in
the process. When given a chance to choose organic or non-organic coffee, I
suggest you always choose organic. This will be your decision of health over
disease.
How do I know that
the coffee is organic or non-organic while buying?
It’s so simple, while you buying Organic
coffee in a market or online shop, just checked the organic label on the
product. If the product is organic you will find the “ORGANIC” label on the
products. This organic certified label is issuing by the USDA in America and by
the “Organic Certification bodies” in United Kingdom. Before issuing this
certificate! They test the product in a lab.
