Organic Healthy Food – Yes, It Tastes Good Too!

Everyone is health conscious nowadays, and why shouldn’t they be? After all, most of the diseases that we hear about are due to eating habits, which is why organic healthy food is becoming even more important. What we eat, more or less determines our fate in a way. Eat healthy food and you’ll prosper, rely on junk food and well we all know what that leads to: obesity, heart diseases and the list is practically endless.

The sad part is that even vegetables and fruits and dairy and meat products do not entirely fit in to the healthy food range. Why? Farming has now become such a mechanized and profit-oriented process and business that reliance on artificial fertilizers is increasing; artificial hormone growth in animals is being practiced for a better yield. The worst part of it all, the animals are not fed a proper diet.

However, all pathways to consuming healthy food are not closed: Organic Food is increasing in popularity and with good reason too. Here is an outline of the great benefits of organic food:

1. Decreases the quantity of toxic chemicals ingested;
2. Completely circumvents GMOs [genetically modified organisms];
3. Decreases the amount of food additives and colorings;
4. Amplifies the quantity of beneficial vitamins, minerals, EFAs [essential fatty acids] and antioxidants consumed;
5. Appears to possess the potential to decrease the occurrence of widespread conditions such as cancer, coronary heart disease, allergies and hyperactivity in children.

So what makes organic food a treat for the health and welfare of the individual? It’s primarily due to the presence of nutrients in organic food that are absent in the artificially grown foods:

1. Chromium is a micronutrient that is not consumed much in our diets, specifically. Its insufficiency is linked with the inception of adult diabetes and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Chromium is higher in quantity in organic foods by an average of 78%.
2. Selenium is one of the antioxidant nutrients that defend us from injuries caused by environmental chemicals. It is defensive against cancers and heart disease. It is an average of 390% higher in organic foods.
3. Calcium, required for strong bones, averages 63% high in organics.
   Boron, which has been exposed to assist in preventing osteoporosis (along with calcium), averages 70% higher.
4. Lithium, which is used to cure certain types of depression, was 188% higher.
5. Magnesium, which lessens mortality from heart attacks, keeps muscles from spasms, and eases the symptoms of PMS, averaged 138% more.
