Even though we can have an idea about the benefits
of eating organic food we don´t specifically know them. There are also myths
about the real positive effects concerning this kind of food, but hopefully now
I will clarify some of your doubts. I leave you a list of benefits for our
physical health that are related with the organic food.
Organic food particularly contains more beneficial
nutrients: It has been found that this type of food has more of antioxidants
that prohibit the oxidation of other molecules in our body. Also it is
also studied the possibilities of antioxidants preventing the risk of cancer
and heart diseases.
People eating organic food have a better immune
system due to the minerals as Zinc and Iron and also because it does not
contain pesticides that damage our health.
When you consume this type of food, usually your
sleeping habits change in a positive way adding the fact that is less probably
that you would be overweight rather than eating conventional food.
We can enjoy much more our food because it taste
better!. Usually we buy this food and eat it in a short period of time because
it does not contain preservatives, for the same reason it is fresher and
tastier. Also nowadays much food is manipulated to look bigger and look good
but if you compare them with organic food you will notice the difference.
Other benefit that is not directly relate with us
but with the environment is that organic food is usually friendlier with the
place that we live. Why? Because conventional methods of raising food
contaminate the soil and water with the pesticides they use. On the contrary
organic food does not need those chemicals, the practices they use do not
damage the animals or people who live near to them and it wastes less energy.
Finally organic food is friendly with animals too.
The practices used to raise animals are much more respectful, because the
animals are given more space to move around and access to the outdoors, both of
which help to keep the animals healthy and also they do not use antibiotics or
growth hormones.
Here is a video that clarifies a bit more what I said. Enjoy it :)
Good thing that you are not selling organic food (aren’t you?), because your arguments make me feel the necessity of buying it immediately. Personally, I need to change my sleep and eating habits, so this seems handy. Also, you convinced me that we would live in a better place if we only consume organic food. Interesting entry! I wonder what is going to be the next topic!
ResponderEliminarYes, you made an important point; we all know that organic food is beneficial for our health, but many of us, ignore the fact that conventional agriculture methods employ an array of harmful chemicals and pesticides that contaminate the soil. Good post!
