Organic means it is free from pesticides?

Organic food is chemical-free and grown without pesticides. This means that organic foods are not subject to chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

Organic produce contains more nutrients and is healthier than conventionally manufactured foods, as it does not contain any harmful additives.

The USDA National Organic Program, (NOP), requires farmers to adhere to strict guidelines when cultivating organic crops.

These guidelines include soil preparation, crop rotation, pest control, water conservation, and harvesting practices.

Organic farming methods also benefit wildlife and natural environments.

What are organic beauty products?

Organic Beauty Products contain natural ingredients without artificial chemicals, such as parabens and phenoxyethanol. These ingredients can be found in many conventional beauty products such as cosmetics, shampoos and perfumes.

Organic beauty products are not tested on animals and contain no genetically modified organisms.

The USDA defines organic food as "a system which fosters cycle of resources"; it has been used for decades by the USDA to describe foods that are grown without pesticides.

Because of the damaging effects of chemical substances on our health, there has been an increase in demand for eco friendly beauty products.

These include cancer, allergies, skin irritation, hormonal imbalance, and premature aging.

Organic beauty companies work to create safe and healthy products for their customers while also protecting the environment.

Why should I choose organic?

Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.

Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).

As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables

Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.

Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."

Carefully review ingredient lists. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.

Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.

Is organic meat healthier?

If you have been paying attention for long enough, you will probably know the answer. However, the truth is organic food is gaining popularity at a time when conventional food is falling out of favor.

Organic foods are becoming more popular because they are better for us. Organic foods are safer for our bodies and help to reduce pollution.

There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce takes longer to grow, and it requires more resources. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.

Organic meats are generally more expensive than conventionally raised animals. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.

Buy locally to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.

Look for bargains to cut down on costs. Many organic products can be purchased at a discount.

Another way to save money? Eat less meat. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.

There are many reasons that organic food is better than regular food for our bodies, and also for the planet. However, it is important to remember the price.

What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?

Organic products are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic manipulation. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. Organic products are those that do not contain chemicals or other additives. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.

Natural refers to the way food was grown. It is used to describe food that has not been processed into its final form, such as fruits. Natural foods are more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce is less likely to contain pesticide residues and pollutants than conventionally grown produce.

Most grocery stores now sell organic products. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.

These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
