The Difference In Organic Foods
Organic foods tend to bring out the opposites in many discussions. Some people swear by anything organic and some people consider it just a play by many food producers to jump on the healthy eating bandwagon and see it as another source of revenue. Whatever your position, there has to be some benefit to choosing 'organic' produce over conventional produce.
There are many studies that can prove or disprove either stance. What really makes the difference is just plain common sense. The benefits of organic foods are obvious once you think about how they are produced.
What you as a consumer of food must do is base your selection on a few benefits that are apparent and not on too much science as either position of the argument can prove their case scientifically and point to infinite studies to back up their claims. As with numerous new fads in food there will always be advocates and those who wish to discredit.
Food made using today's volume production methods, even fruit and vegetables, will have a number of unnatural elements involved in the production process. This includes the use of pesticides in and on food products and the introduction of additives such as preservatives and unnatural colorings to foods.
So even if you don't believe that there are benefits to organic foods over orthodox foods there are simple common sense benefits. These include a reduced intake of toxins, an increase of day-to-day vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. This alone is a huge benefit consuming organic food products.
One thing to consider with this information is how the benefit of organic foods can indirectly or directly help the growth of a child. Children and older people can only benefit from eating foods that have a more natural and higher nutrient content. This is the biggest benefit of organic foods.
Turning to organic food can go hand in hand with an improved lifestyle. The argument that organic foods are dearer is mute because people eating a healthier diet will spend less money on junk food and should not see an increase in their grocery bills. The recent increase in popularity of organic foods has also seen the reduction in the cost of organic foods too.
Organic foods are hence a clean way to better health without effort. Also, it will reduce our intake of toxins in mass produced foods which can only be a good thing for us all and not just the young or old. Preferring organic food over conventional food is also a great way to reinforce a new fitter lifestyle. - 17274
