We all know that we should drink water. If you ask most people why we should drink water, they will say because it's good for you. "Because it's good for you," isn't enough for me to drink 127oz a day of it. This subject inspired me to find out more about why water is good for you. According to the Mayo Clinic these are just a few reasons why water is important for your body. One of my favorite website is Bodybuilding.com, I believe the writers understand what they are talking about as you can see they practice what they preach.

I was introduced to this cause by a co-worker, I was blown away at this companies mission and I had to share it. Three Avocado's is a non-profit organization that sells coffee to help provide clean drinking water in Uganda. Founder Joe Koenig statement touch my heart. In January of 2010, I had the amazing opportunity to visit Uganda. It was a trip that forever changed my life. It opened my eyes to a world that I never knew existed. It opened my eyes to things that I thought only existed in a National Geographic special. A world where people actually live in mud huts. A world where children are literally starving. Where the nearest water source is a mile away. And you'll get sick if you drink it. A world where orphans are raised by the village. A world rampaged by AIDS, malaria, and thousands of other things I couldn't even imagine. If you want to help this great cause and get great coffee, I urge you to at least try it. I will be buying my first bag today.
Remember that we are very fortunate to have the opportunity to chose how we eat because of the plentiful choices we have in the United States. We chose to eat clean, others do not have that choice. Let's start by giving the choice of clean water! Cheers Jenniffer |
