How To

What happens to your body if you switch to organic products

Organic products can be grown without synthetic fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.

The term "natural" refers how food is grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.

Most grocery shops now carry organic options. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. You should look for USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified (Biodynamic Association Certified), Rainforest Alliance Certified, and other certifications.

These products should not be consumed if you are pregnant. Unborn babies and infants can be affected by pesticides.
