Organic Food for Better and Healthier Future

17th March 2015 by Rainer Hobrack

Organic food is becoming more and more popular since it has numerous health benefits. Organic crop means the crops grown without any sort of chemicals and additives. Organic livestock is raised in perfectly natural and organic environment. No injections are given to the animals to increase their milk and meat production. Basically, organic food contain natural taste and have high nutritional content as compare to inorganic food. Like inorganic food, no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides are administered to the organic food. Instead, organic crops utilize chopped plant part as fertilizers and green manure to prevent the over production of weeds.

Environmental Benefits of Organic Food:

Organic crops and animals are environmental friendly in various ways. It makes water and milk safe to drink without any harmful substances. It is important to ensure the purity of these two liquid for the health status. Once pesticides are sprayed on the crop their ultimate destination is the water stream. Use of organic food can eradicate this health problem. Excess use of chemicals can turn a fertile soil in to deserted land. Beside, chemicals not only effect crops but also pollute the weeds grown in surrounding, which are the food of various animals. Therefore, organic food make is safer for wildlife as well.

organic foodHigh Nutritional Content of Organic Food:

Treated foods are very large in size, but in this process they not only lose their natural taste but also have lower nutritional content than the organic foods. Organic foods are small in size, but they are packed with rich taste and higher nutritional content, which make them worthwhile to use. Mostly organic crops are grown by local farmers, therefore, they are fresh and healthy for use. They are significantly more lush and tasty than preserved treated crops. Organic food also contain high ratio of antioxidants as compare to non-organic food. Antioxidants helps in boosting immune systems and fight against cancer and various heart problems.

Say no to Pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones:

Treated food contain remains of pesticides even after they are peeled, which can affect the digestive track. The more you consume non-organic food, the more pesticide content will start building in your body, which is very hazardous for health. This can even lead to still birth or other birth effects. Some chemical compounds act as mutagens which can cause cancer.

Antibiotics are widely injected into the livestock, which are transferred to our body when we consume them. This can make our body antibiotics resistant. In contrast, organic livestock is fed organic food, which they are naturally meant to eat, which make their meat free from antibiotics.

To increase the production of meat and milk, hormones are injected to the animals, which increase their growth rate. Therefore, consuming the products of such animal can distort the normal hormone level of human beings. No such problem is associated with the organic livestock.

Though organic food is little bit expensive, but paying that price will be worthwhile keeping in mind the benefits we can get from organic food.
