How To
5 Reasons Why You Should Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are free from pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge or industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. There are no hormones and antibiotics used. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals that nonorganic. This means that organic produce is less likely cause allergic reactions and sensitivities. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Organically grown produce doesn't require synthetic fertilizer or pesticides. Organic farms are often located far from areas with high levels of pollution because it takes so much energy for conventional agriculture to grow. This helps to reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming is based on soil fertility and not chemical fertilizers. This results in soils that are healthier and have higher levels of organic matter. Farmers should rotate crops and let the land go bare periodically to improve soil health. Strong immune systems develop when farm animals are fed only grasses grown without antibiotics or added hormones.
- Taste. Because they are picked at their peak ripeness and then shipped long distances to supermarkets, conventional fruits and vegetables can often taste bland. Organic produce is sweeter and richer because it was harvested at the peak of its ripeness.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA are common in processed foods. You can avoid them by sticking with whole foods such meat, fish, eggs, seafood, seeds and beans, as well as fruits, veggies, herbs, and vegetables.
