Consciousness about what we eat has become more than a trend and fad, it’s now an increasing part of our eating culture. Driving has also become part of that concern to protect our environment through the invention of fuel-alternative vehicles and solar buildings.
However, when it comes to what we wear, less people are aware of the health consequences if the products were made from contaminated products and materials.
Most are unaware that benefits exist when we choose to purchase products with organic and sustainable material as products, according to an statement from The White Pebble, an online retail destination and community website dedicated to organic and sustainable products for the family.
The chemicals in cotton, for example, have an impact in our health. And these are some of the things to consider.
Cotton crops are typically rotated to maintain soil quality, and peanuts that are grown for people to eat are commonly grown in place of cotton for that purpose, explains the statement. Cotton seed is also used to produce food for livestock that are part of the food supply chain. So, many of our food and clothing products are inextricably linked.
The skin is the largest and most absorbent organ in a human body. Studies have shown that the pesticides and herbicides used to produce cotton, for example, contain carcinogens and allergy-causing agents.
An estimated 200,000 workers in California, alone, suffered from chronic diseases link to industrial chemical exposure in 2004, especially farm workers. So, be aware of what you wear, in addition to watching what you eat, Organic tends to be more expensive to buy, but if you can afford a few more dollars for better and less-contaminated food for your family, go for it. Start thinking organic, it could be the way that will help you be healthier than most of those who don’t care or don’t know about it.
