Benefits Of Eating Organic Food


 Having previously been a bit sceptical about the organic food and whether it really has been grown according to the label, I now acknowledge that organic vegetables for example do taste a lot better.

Story at-a-glance

• Choosing organic foods lowers your exposure to pesticides linked to cancer, damage to children’s IQ and neurobehavioral development and other health problems
• Organic foods are produced without genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the use of antibiotics for preventive purposes is prohibited — both major benefits to human health and the environment
• Organically grown foods contain significantly higher levels of antioxidants and healthy fats than conventionally grown varieties
• Organic products are now available in close to 20,000 natural food stores and 3 out of 4 conventional grocery stores in the U.S.

Tips For A Healthy New Year

Healthy Eating Choices For 2016

Christmas is a time for indulgence for many but also a time for reflection of what we want to change in the new year.  Since being healthy is the most important aspect of our life, why not consider a more healthy approach to consumerism.  Here are a few tips on how to eat organic, cooking your own food and where possible even grow your own food.  Shopping wisely need not be expensive, it is about knowing what you want to eat and shopping accordingly rather than being guided by what you see in the shop.

• Cook your own meals at home, ideally from scratch (including growing as much of your own food as possible)
• Upgrade your baking by swapping out coconut flour for wheat flour, butter for margarine, pureed fruits and veggies for sugar, and coconut oil for vegetable oil
• Choose meat that’s pastured (grass-fed) and organic; avoid processed meats

Cheaper Organic Food

 Haveing recently shared an article that promoted the benefit of organic food, this article today is good news for those who want to switch to organic food.  As it is so important to keep the population healthy, organic produce should be cheaper and affordable.   I hope very much that we see prices of organic foods come down in the near future.
