Organic foods are booming in popularity, with many people willing to spend extra for the benefit to their health. Despite the extra expense, some research indicates that eating organic may boost the digestive tract’s health.
Observational studies (which only look at someone’s habits) suggest that organic foods can be higher in micronutrients than non-organic, although results are inconsistent.
Boosts Bacteria
A growing body of research suggests organic foods contain higher levels of health-promoting bacteria. Moreover, they also have a more diverse variety of gut bacteria compared to conventional fruits and vegetables.
In addition, organic crops aren’t treated with any synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers for three years prior to harvesting. They are also free of genetic engineering, ionizing radiation and sewage sludge.
This helps prevent the build-up of harmful bacteria and supports the healthy microbes in your digestive system. Additionally, organic meat and dairy are rich in prebiotics that help your gut bacteria thrive. They also offer more beneficial fats such as fatty acids that promote insulin and cholesterol regulation, and reduce inflammation in the colon.
Reduces Irritation
The use of organic farming techniques is said to produce higher quality fruit and vegetables, which tastes better than conventional food. This may be due to the fact that the crops are allowed to mature and develop naturally, without the addition of artificial chemicals.
The results of several clinical trials have shown reduced incidence of metabolic syndrome, high BMI and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in those who choose to eat an organic diet. Observational studies have also shown lower levels of sugar in the blood, and in some cases reduced allergic sensitisation.
A 2018 study looked at 68,900 French adults who reported how often they consumed organic or conventional foods. The participants self-reported their cancer risk and were followed over five years for the development of a number of different cancers. This included breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It was found that those who ate more organic foods had an increased wholefood dietary intake, and this could explain the observed reductions in some types of cancer.
Prevents Allergies
People suffering from food allergies can get relief by consuming organic foods as these are free from all chemical fertilizers, pesticides and preservatives. Moreover, they are more nutritious. Many parents report a reduction or elimination of allergy symptoms in their children after switching to organic diet.
Consumption of synthetic pesticides has been linked to a variety of health problems including stomach related disorders, neurological issues, ADHD and fertility problems. They also weaken the immune system. Organic food prevents the influx of these toxins in your body and thereby strengthens the immune system.
A recent study showed that children who consumed a moderately or strictly organic diet showed greater immunity against eczema and wheezing as compared to those consuming a conventional diet. However, the protective effect is food-specific and needs to be confirmed by further studies. Nevertheless, the study is encouraging. It is especially helpful for pregnant women, babies and children who may be more susceptible to exposure to chemicals through their mother’s milk.
Boosts the Immune System
Organic foods are rich in nutrients that are essential for healthy immune systems. These include vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Additionally, they are free from pesticides and growth hormones. Studies have linked increased organic food consumption to reduced rates of cancers, birth defects, and allergic sensitization.
Organic food is also a good source of probiotics. These friendly bacteria are critical for your digestive system and overall health. In fact, research shows that people with higher intakes of probiotics have lower levels of homocysteine – an indicator for cardiovascular disease.
While the research on the benefits of organic food is still limited, many positive outcomes are being reported from longitudinal studies. These studies are important because they allow for direct comparisons of conventional and organic diets. This type of research is more likely to lead to real measurable health impacts compared to short-term controlled trials using isolated nutrients.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is organic food?
Organic produce does not contain synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and sewage sludge. It is also grown without irradiation or genetic engineering. There is no use of growth hormones and no animal testing. These crops can be grown naturally by farmers, and they don't need to be treated with chemicals to control pests or weeds.
Organic farming practices also maintain soil quality by reducing erosion and conserving water resources. Organics contain more nutrients than regular food and are therefore better for our overall health. Organic foods are often higher in fiber, lower in fat, and less calories than those produced conventionally.
What is inorganic food?
Organic food is grown without pesticides and artificial fertilizers. These chemicals could cause health problems for those who eat inorganic food.
Organic food is free from harmful substances like pesticides and herbicides. These chemicals may cause damage to animals as well as humans.
Inorganic food is meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, including butter, yogurts honey, yogurts, butter, cream, cheese, butter, yogurts, honey and grains.
Organic refers to how an agricultural product was grown. For example, organic farming uses natural methods and soil amendments to grow crops, while conventional farming uses synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines must be followed when organic food is labeled. All organic food must comply with the National Organic Program Standards. This means that it must not contain prohibited materials like antibiotics, growth hormones or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as industrial solvents. Organic food must not be produced with toxic chemicals, petroleum or sewage sludges or ionizing radioactive substances.
What is organic meat?
Organic meat refers to real food grown without the use artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones. Organic meat is also a guarantee that the animals weren’t fed any genetically altered feed. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.
Organic meats are better for the environment. We reduce the amount of pollution in our rivers, lakes, and landfills by eating organic food. We also help protect wildlife because organic farmers usually do not use toxic chemicals that kill insects and birds.
The best way to ensure that you eat healthy organic meats is to buy them locally whenever possible. Local buying helps to keep money in the community, rather than moving out of state. Local businesses often offer discounts to their customers by shopping locally. Shopping locally helps to keep American workers employed, as opposed to sending them overseas.
