You Are What You Eat

The Advantages of Organic Food

Do you really know what goes into your food? In the rush to produce more and more crops to satisfy growing demand producers have had to resort to using a lethal cocktail of pesticides to control disease and insect attack. This is why you need to be informed of the advantages of organic food.

Did you know that if you consumed an average apple you would be eating over 30 pesticides, even after you have washed it? You will have to eat more fruit nowadays to make up the deficiency, but unfortunately that means eating more chemicals, more detrimental affects on your health eating something that should be good for you!


If you are as worried as I am about the health of your family then you need to read this article and seriously consider converting your family to the organic lifestyle. Organic food is known to contain 50% more nutrients, minerals and vitamins than produce that has been intensively farmed.


Trust me, once you try some organic produce and taste an apple the way it should be, and perhaps how you recall it tasting in your youth, you will never go back to mass produced fruit again.

Pesticides in food have been linked to many diseases including: Cancer, Obesity, Altzheimer's, and Some birth defects. Not a nice list is it? There are probably others but if you think about it, how can it be okay for you to eat chemicals and not expect some form of reaction in your body. Our bodies are delicately balanced wonderful machines. Any form of foreign chemical is bound to cause irritation at the least.

Please take advantage of the organic food and do consider taking a closer look at what you are eating. It's for your health after all!
