How To
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 free-range and come from clean water sources. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers how food is grown. It is used to describe food that has not been processed into its final form, such as fruits. Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues 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 only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
