Kiss Me, I'm Organic

 Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve!

The luck of the Irish prompts this popular saying, "Kiss Me I'm Irish."  Well, Blarney, we think organic food is pretty darn lucky too and have 3 reasons why you should be kissing it this week.

Top 3 Reasons to Eat Organically

1.  Holy Shamrocks!  The three-leafed clover was traditionally known for its medical properties.  Likewise, organic foods are 25% more nutritious in terms of vitamins and minerals, have more antioxidants, and higher levels of essential minerals

2.  Lucky Charms.  Organic has shown to use about 30% less energy as well as being beneficial to the soil, water, and local habitat AND is safer for those leprechauns sliding down rainbows. 

3.  Pucker Up.  Science has proven that chlorophyll  - present in many vegetables, especially those green ones - arrests growth and development of unfriendly bacteria. It can help with body odors, including bad breath.  If you're not down with green, keep those lips sealed!

GMO Corn and Soy Products (a pain in the side, liver and kidneys...)

 

Recent studies show that the consumption of genetically modified (GM) corn or soybeans led to organ disruption, particularly liver and kidneys, in mice and rats.  Why is it always the lab animals, you ask?  Biotech companies do not conduct human studies.  Hmmm...These GMO's make up 83% of the commercialized ones that BILLIONS of people eat.  Yikes. And nearly 25% of the population suffers from some sort of stomach disorder, including abdominal pain and indigestion.  

Rest assured, at Conveniently Natural, you are getting at least 80% organic ingredients.  Corn and soy are always 100% organic, non-GMO.
