What’s Organic food?
It means that the food is labeled organic. To get the certification, even if it varies from country to country, means the producer is following some specific guidelines e.g: all Organic food must be certified Organic and have a Non-Genetically Modified Ingredient food tag.
Here Are 10 Reasons Why You Should Eat Organic
- Babies and Children are more sensitive to chemical exposure.
- Organically grown foods have more nutrients than commercially grown foods because the soil is managed, and nourished with sustainable practices by responsible standards.
- Will help reduce your body’s total toxic levels: as you can get toxicity in your home, at work, outside…
- May reduce the disease risk because there are higher antioxidant levels in organic food. May reduce your cancer risk as lots of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides are carcinogenic.
- No genetically modified organisms. (GMOs)
- Helps become more earth supportive as the use of all those chemicals are damaging to the earth.
- Be locally supportive as vegetables and fruits are usually produced on smaller farms near where they are sold, this means they will be fresher.
- Organically raised animals are not given antibiotics or hormones.. They are given more space to move around and access to the outdoors which helps keep them healthy.
- No use of synthetic chemicals, irradiation, or sewage sludge.
Try to be careful with all the “natural” labels as it doesn’t mean that it’s healthy or organic. Look for the true “organic” label on packages and produce!
I would say the best thing to do is to find a local organic farmer, It will save you money to support your local farmer! Plus, you will feel the difference with the fresh quality of eating locally grown organic foods. Bring your kids to the farm, it’s the best way to show them where healthy food comes from and help then appreciate their food more.
