The Top 10 Reasons Why Your Organic Yoga Pants Should Be Bamboo
Eco yoga clothing is made from so many different fabrics these days. We are lucky to have so many choices available to us. But which is the best? There are many advantages to yoga clothes made from bamboo. Let's take a look at some benefits that bamboo offers, both to the environment while it's growing and to you when you wear it.
1. Bamboo is grown in an entirely sustainable way. As it's actually a type of grass, the bamboo plants in a forest all share a large network of roots. When mature culms are cut down, new shoots quickly emerge to take their place. This allows a continuous collection of bamboo from the same forests year after year.
2. Bamboo is a perfect organic resource, which doesn't require any chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
3. Bamboo removes large amounts greenhouse gases from the air. If you tested equal areas of bamboo forest and hardwood forest, you'd find that the bamboo forest is able to produce 35% more oxygen.
4. Bamboo prevents erosion. When other textile crops are harvested, the land is stripped of nutrients and soil is lost to wind and water erosion. But a bamboo forest is all connected by one root system. This helps bind the soil in place while holding in moisture.
5. Bamboo doesn't need irrigation. Rain is all the water it needs. What about cotton? By comparison, even organic cotton puts a large strain on local water resources. Did you know that it takes over 2700 liters of water just to grow enough cotton to make one T-shirt?
6. Bamboo clothing is very soft and smooth. You can compare it to silk or cashmere. The fibers have a smooth texture which gives softness to the fabric. It is so soft that even people with sensitive skin can wear bamboo clothing.
7. Bamboo is moisture wicking and absorbent. As you sweat the fabric draws sweat away from the surface of your skin. This feature makes bamboo the ideal fabric for yoga clothing.
8. Bamboo is breathable and good for regulating temperature. When it's hot out, you will feel cooler. And when it's chilly, you can wear a layer of bamboo for insulation.
9. Bamboo clothing blocks up to 98% of UV rays. This lessens your odds of developing cancer.
10. Bamboo clothing is antibacterial due to a natural bio-agent in the bamboo fibers. This inhibits the growth of fungus and bacteria, making bamboo ideal for yoga clothing and other exercise wear.
These were just a few of many good reasons why bamboo is the best organic yoga clothing you can wear. As more yogis become aware of environmental issues, bamboo is sure to become an even more important source for eco-friendly yoga clothing.
