| | September 17, 2024 |  | | | | | | | PRESENTED BY | |  | | | | | Good morning! September is Organic Month, and as someone who had a brief stint of organic farming in my 20s and a deep appreciation for dietary and planetary health, I'm on board with celebrating. If you've ever wondered how important organic products really are for our health, I've got some news for you. Read on for: - Why pesticides are the new cigarettes
- Little-known tips for eczema-prone skin
- Can't-miss ways to celebrate apple season
- What's lurking in your underwear
Speaking of apples, what's your favorite way to enjoy this seasonal fruit? Day-to-day, I love apples with almond butter for an easy yet satisfying snack; for special occasions, I'm all over a gooey apple crumble with vanilla ice cream. | | — Ailsa Cowell, M.S., health editor | | | | | Pesticides might be as dangerous as smoking | |  (Additional cancer cases per cancer type in a single year that can be attributed to differences in agricultural pesticide pattern use.)¹ | | We've all been there—you pick up a pint of organic berries at the market, then see that the non-organic ones are half the price. You wonder, does it really make a difference? Research has shown that yes, organic produce has some advantages, like higher levels of antioxidants.² It's also a safer bet thanks to what it doesn't have: A comprehensive assessment of pesticide use and cancer risk analyzed data from 3,000+ US counties, analyzing possible links between many different kinds of pesticides and cancers. It found:¹ - Pesticide use was associated with increased rates of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, and colon, bladder, pancreatic, and lung cancers.
- Pesticide use increased non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by a staggering 154% compared to smoking!
Eating organic food is a fundamental step towards reducing pesticide exposure, but that doesn't mean that every single thing we eat has to be organic. The Environmental Working Groups' Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists are convenient guides to navigating the safest types of produce to buy (more on that below). +Get your organic goods | | | | | | | PRESENTED BY | | | | How to build a better online presence | |  | | If you're a reader of the long game, we already know you're interested in leveling up your health.

Don't ignore unexplainable symptoms; see your doctor and ask for testing.
2 minutes The amount of time it takes standing in Power Pose (think Wonder Woman) to boost mood and confidence levels.³ BRB…
30% The amount of children with eczema who also have food allergies⁴ (read more about the gut-skin axis here). | | | | | | | |  Image by Mizina / iStock | | | | | | Your work will thrive | | | | | Your online presence is the foundation for a successful business, new project, or side hustle—effortlessly create a professional website with Squarespace. | | | | | | | | | Cleaner & Greener The problem: Your undies might be toxic. Conventionally grown cotton is the third largest user of pesticides in the US, with more than a third of those chemicals being glyphosate (an herbicide the WHO has labeled as a "probable carcinogen").⁵ Synthetic fabrics like polyester can contain BPA, and certain types of wicking fabrics may contain PFAS. All of these chemicals can make their way into your skin (and they're nestled up against our most vulnerable parts all day). The solution: Organic cotton undies from Pact. These super soft organic undies come in a variety of hues and patterns and promise zero inorganic pesticides and fertilizers as well as dramatically less water usage. That's it for the long game—thanks for playing. Have a great week ahead! | | | | | | Want more from mindbodygreen?
