Organic Foods: what are its benefits

Organic can mean foods that are free of pesticides, hormones and steriods. I only purchase organic meats to make sure they are healthy for my family. Many fruits and veggies that are not organic are sprayed with pesticides and other chemicals while growing!

Organic food commonly means no pesticides nor chemical fertilizers in my opinion. Because some of these substance does not belongs to the nutrition category and many are toxic. You may hardly believe that even a through wash can hardly get rid of all those things because they enter our food plants when they grow. Therefore, when we eat non-organic food, all these stuff builds up in our body. This is why nowadays more people get disease than before. From this point of view, organic food does worth much. In addition, without those chemical helpers, it is not easy to grow a good crop, which made the organic food more expensive.

They are probably a little healthier for you, but that not the main point in them. The main point is that no chemicals have been used to produce them which is very good for the enviroment.

If more people would buy those organic foods the price could come down. They would become more available if we voted with our pocket books. They are better for us since they don't have the poisons that affect our bodies over time. Things that can be peeled are not as important to buy organic. The more fragile things are what should be bought organic. Along with buying local you can enhance your life and stress your body less. Organic foods are well worth for investing in health.

Organic food certainly is a lot more healthier than the regular one. I agree it cost more but I try to buy some from time to time.
