How To
What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products
Organic products are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic manipulation. They come from clean water sources, and are raised on free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was naturally produced and contains no harmful chemicals.
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 often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. 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. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
