Consumers are increasingly concerned about what they put in their bodies, and with all the synthetic materials used to produce food today, it’s not surprising that most people are pushing to buy organic products.
Organic products are grown with limited or no pesticides, herbicides and insecticides. Livestock is kept without the use of growth hormones or antibiotics and organic food is very strictly regulated.
The question remains whether or not organic products have more nutritional value.
Organic products contain many more nutrients than non-organic products, such as higher levels of vitamin C, trace minerals and phytonutrients. Organic food is also safer because most of it is grown without the use of pesticides. The use of pesticides in non-organic products is a major concern for children’s development as they need to consume more food to keep their bodies developing. It is also uncertain what effect the antibiotics and growth hormones used in non-organic farming have on growing children.
By removing preservatives and artificial colors from food, you also help prevent your child from becoming hyperactive, and additives are prohibited in their production.
It has been proven that organic milk contains more vitamins, omega 3, antioxidants and CLA than non-organic milk, making organic milk of a much higher quality and therefore healthier for people.
1. You get more nutrition from organic products
It will provide your body with more nutrition and the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants you need to fight disease, simply because it is grown through preventive farming, which allows the soil to rebuild and nourish the crops with vitamins and minerals without adding them to the ground artificially.
2. Consuming organic products can prevent allergies
It is grown without the use of toxic chemicals or industrial fertilizers and pesticides. The chemicals used in non-organic farming are responsible for many allergies and eating organic reduces the risk of allergies and also diseases such as cancer.
3. Contains no genetically modified ingredients
No one really knows for sure how safe genetic modification is and by buying and eating it you don’t have to worry about your food being genetically modified.
4. Tastes better
You’ll have to taste it to believe it. Try eating organic products and measure the taste against that of non-organic food and you will see for yourself that it just tastes a lot better.
Aside from the nutritional benefits of eating organic, there is also the added benefit of knowing that the food you are eating has not contributed to water, soil and air pollution. With the production of organic products such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products you can also be sure that the animals were treated well and not left in cramped cages to simply become food machines.
