The quote “We are what we eat” could not be more precise. What we consume in our everyday lives carries a lot of significance. In fact, it is a major factor for how our body looks, feels and behaves. Several illnesses can be caused by what we consume. Yes, in general, eating fruits and vegetables over junk processed food is much better. Let us consider what the benefits are when those fruits and vegetables are certified organic.
We do not mean that we should only be eating organic fruits and vegetables, but the more organic products we add to our diet the more long-term benefits we will have. Again, nutrition is not the only factor to help us protect our body from illnesses, but it is a factor we can control!
Top 6 reasons on why to follow an organic nutrition
1. Only certified organic products guarantee that no toxic persistent pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or GMOs are used in production, and no antibiotics or growth hormones are given to livestock.
2. Fruits, vegetables and grains have been found to have slightly more antioxidants, fewer nitrates and pesticide residues, making them more nutritious.
3. No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives are allowed in organic food. Cleaner food means cleaner diets which leads to a cleaner bill of health.
4. Eating organic can reduce your risk of cancer. Studies found that those who ate organic foods frequently lowered their overall risk of developing cancer.
5. Helps combat climate change. Healthy soil naturally retains photosynthesized carbon dioxide instead of releasing it back into the atmosphere.
6. Humane animal treatment. Organic farmers must accommodate the natural behavior of their livestock and meet health and wellness requirements, including access to the outdoors, clean and dry bedding, clean water, shelter, and direct sunlight.
