May 13^th is World Fair Trade Day. The purpose of this international celebration is to showcase the small-scale farmers and artisans at the heart of the fair trade movement and the contributions they make to healthy and sustainable communities around the world.

This year we’re highlighting small-scale farmers who bring together traditional farming methods with innovative organic practices, creating truly regenerative agriculture. Brands like Alaffia, Alter Eco, Dr. Bronner’s, Equal Exchange, Guayaki Yerba Mate, and Maggie’s Organics are building these supply chains that make a difference—and bringing you products that you can feel good about putting in your shopping cart.

Each brand’s products and its producers tell a different story: Alaffia’s deodorant helps support reforestation projects in rural Togo, increasing food security and helping to slow erosion. Alter Eco’s chocolate partners are reintroducing heirloom cacao varietals as part of an agroforestry project in Ecuador. In India, Dr. Bronner’s is partnering with a project that is revitalizing land into a rich, regenerative ecosystem to grow mint oil that puts the tingle in your soap—and a wealth of food and cash crops. Equal Exchange’s coffee helps power deep organic practices, and farmer-led workshops that pass the wisdom on to the next generation of Honduran farmers. And in Paraguay, Guayaki works with the indigenous Aché Guayaki who cultivate your yerba mate boost in the understory, earning a living in harmony with the rainforest instead of depleting it.

Small-scale producers are growing food and farming systems that give back to their communities and regenerate our planet. When you support the fair trade brands that support them, you’re helping grow that future too.

Look for special in-store deals throughout May, and let your purchases be Fair for Farmers every day!

1. Tummy troubles. Dilute a tablespoon of Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar with water or tea and drink it before a meal for optimal digestion.
2. Combat dandruff. Mix ¼ cup Bragg Vinegar with ¼ cup water in a spray bottle. Spray it onto your hair after you wash, let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse.
3. Teeth brightening. Rub apple cider vinegar directly on your teeth and then rinse with water. Careful not to do this too often, it can break down enamel just like any acid! For a less abrasive approach, mix one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with a cup of water, swish and spit.
4. Soothe a soar throat. Mix one teaspoon apple cider vinegar, one teaspoon cayenne pepper and three teaspoons of honey in a glass of warm water.
5. Foot odor! Pour one cup of apple cider vinegar over baby wipes, or thick paper towels. Store them in the fridge. Use as needed.
6. Use it topically on your skin (apply with a cider soaked washcloth) to make your skin feel softer, absorb excess oil and reduce fine lines by restoring optimal pH levels.
7. Scorched by the sun! Add a cup or two to the bath to help restore your skin’s pH.

Are Minerals Really Essential?

I have long thought that eating well (organic, whole, unprocessed foods) was all I needed to maintain optimal health. Recently, I started asking more questions of our vitamin and supplement team members and learned startling information about potential mineral deficiencies. Minerals are vital to cellular well-being. Some of the most common ones are chromium, magnesium, iron and zinc. Not only are these elements found in the universe, they are also found in our bodies. As with all living things, we expel and take in nutrients constantly, including minerals. But the question is this: are the foods we eat providing enough replenishment? Now that many of our soil systems are not as densely nutritious (a result of systematic chemical sprays with pesticides and herbicides), some say we need a little extra help getting those essential nutrients. Here is an interesting article showing a comparison between measured mineral levels in common vegetables from 1963 and 1999. With another 18 years of industrial farming, I venture to guess that the mineral depletion has increased based on the trajectories demonstrated in the article.

This insight inspired me to consider adding a trace mineral supplement (one that includes magnesium) to my daily routine. Time will tell me if the mineral boost helps me feel better over time.
