Why should you buy organic?

There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:

Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.

USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.

Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."

Always read the ingredient lists. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.

It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

What's the difference?

Organic food is produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods can be grown using pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).

"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is usually more nutritious that conventional produce. This is because organic soil contains fewer toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers also don't use synthetic fertilizers or hormones, pesticides, or antibiotics.

What are organic products for beauty?

Organic Beauty Products are natural products that do not contain any synthetic chemicals, including parabens. Phenoxyethanol, phthalates and artificial preservatives. These ingredients can be found in many conventional beauty products such as cosmetics, shampoos and perfumes.

Organic beauty products can also be made without animal testing, and they do not contain any genetically altered organisms (GMO).

The USDA defines the term' organic' as "a system of production that fosters cycling of resources" and has been used for decades to describe foodstuffs grown without pesticides.

There has been a rise in demand for ecofriendly beauty products over the years due to the negative effects of chemical chemicals on our skin.

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.

How To

What happens to your Body When You Switch To Organic Products?

Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain 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. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce is less likely to contain pesticide residues and pollutants than conventionally grown produce.

Most grocery stores now sell organic products. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies sell only organic products. Other companies have separate sections. You should look for USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified (Biodynamic Association Certified), Rainforest Alliance Certified, and other certifications.

If you are pregnant, or nursing, these products should not be eaten. Unborn babies and infants can be exposed to pesticides.
