How To

5 Reasons to buy organic products

Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. Their production does not use sewage sludge and industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is free of artificial preservatives and additives. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.

Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals than nonorganic. It's therefore less likely that it will cause allergies and other sensitivities. You also consume fewer toxic substances and carcinogens.
Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without synthetic fertilizer and pesticides requires very little water. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. This reduces air pollution.
Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. Strong immune systems develop when farm animals are fed only grasses grown without antibiotics or added hormones.
Taste. The taste of conventional fruits and veggies is often bland. This is because they are picked at the peak of ripeness. They then get shipped long distances to their destination. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
Nutrition. GMOs, BPA, and other harmful chemicals are often found in conventional processed foods. If you want to avoid these, stick to whole foods such as meat, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, beans, fruit, veggies, and herbs.
