Five Reasons to Drink Organic Coffee

If personal habits are ever evaluated by the kinds of foods or drinks they consume, then the four hundred million cups of coffee consumed by Americans every day are proof that coffee is king.

Most people have their reasons for drinking coffee. Some do it for the energy boost it provides, how the caffeine boost helps them jump-start their morning, keep them focused in the afternoon, or concentrate during the evening workout.

However, you probably are not aware that having high levels of caffeine concentrations in your bloodstream has also been linked to stopping altogether, or delaying, the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

Organic Coffee

By drinking coffee, and especially organic coffee, not only are you keeping your brain cells alert, but also keeping healthy in the most vital areas of your body.

Coffee lifts your senses and helps you remain alert. You can make a cup in less than two minutes, and it eats a tiny portion of your kitchen budget. This is why instant coffee makers rarely go bankrupt.

Not only is coffee a popular beverage after water, but it is also the second top selling item in the world after crude oil. That is why you need to develop a taste for top rated organic coffee brands.

Organically grown coffee is rich in flavor and research has claimed that it has several benefits for your health, the farms where it's grown and to the environment.

Organic Foods

Americans are extremely skeptical when it comes to organic foods usually because cheaper food items are too tempting due to tight budgets and many times it's not always easy to tell the difference.

So here are the five reasons why you need to start drinking organic coffee:

1. It is pesticide free

Chances are your daily cup of non-organic coffee could be made from coffee beans that are laden with pesticides. You can say no to chemicals and opt for smarter coffee: organic coffee beans.

When coffee beans are sprayed with pesticides, the liquid chemicals seep through the soil and destroys water sources.

The highly-toxic chemicals often end up in the skins, lungs, and feet of the farmers and the pesticide-laced soil not only produces poor quality beans but also damages the soil.

2. Organic coffee is antioxidant-rich and a stress buster

Organic coffee is antioxidant-rich and a stress busterMuch like fruits and vegetables, organic coffee is full of beneficial antioxidants. And antioxidants are a big deal in the American diet. They promote overall health and also increase levels of happiness. It has been shown that organic coffee is good at keeping anxiety and stress at bay. Motorists who repeatedly hoor in snarl-ups have been known to calm down after taking organic coffee.

3. Preservation of Forests

To sustain demand for coffee, growers have turned conventional coffee plants into hybrids that require lots of sunshine. But the ideal habitat for coffee is the shade from dense forest cover.

This has led to the demolishing of the forest cover to create open spaces for conventional coffee trees to thrive, as organic coffee trees were planted in the forests.

The organic coffee trees ended up adding benefits to the ecosystem, which in turn provided a better habitat for small creatures like lizards and birds.

Other advantages include better protection of the trees from direct rainfall resulting in less soil erosion. Rapid soil erosion happens when conventional coffee trees are exposed to moisture and therefore loss of essential nutrients.

4. Organic coffee is tastier than traditional coffee

Delicious coffee beans come as a result of planting organic coffee trees in a soil which is rich in natural fertilizers. Chemical-free soils ensure you taste nothing but pure coffee.

Not only will the taste lift you, but also the aroma too will draw eager customers intent to get their caffeine boost.

Most Americans drink coffee because of the taste, the caffeine boost, and health benefits. Sadly, organic coffee may not pack as much caffeine as regular coffee.

But most consumers will notice a distinct quality difference in taste in organic coffee over regular coffee. This superior taste is good enough and compensates what it lacks in caffeine.

5. Economic Support to Developing Nations

Third world coffee farmers often toil under very tough circumstances to raise a single ton of coffee beans. And although many grow regular coffee, recent efforts to transom into organic coffee are bearing fruit.

And every time you buy trademarks with organic labels, you become part of a global movement devoted to raising their standards of living.

So, whether you love brewing pot of coffee in your home, or enjoying it with friends at your favorite joint, make sure to drink high-quality organic coffee and make sure to buy a brand bearing the label indicating a source from third world countries.
