Growing Your Own Vegetables Is Better

By Susanne Marra

Over the last ten years there has been a switch towards mechanization and homogenization in farming, this uses pesticides, herbicides, additives, synthetic fertilizers and mass-production systems. This is having an impact on our health, we are seeing new diseases spreading from animals to human. Think bird flu, swine flu.

The World Health Organization generates reports showing that the use of chemicals and other substances in food, combined with the manufacturing systems used, can actually be a threat for our well being.

If you have space for a few pots or even a small piece of land, it is a wise decision to grow your own organic vegetable garden. Today I'm presenting you with seven reasons for doing this:

1. You will not find any additives in your organic vegetables. Through research by organic food associations we are shown how these things added to our foods can cause mi grains, heart diseases, osteoporosis, and hyperactivity.

2. You will not have to worry about pesticides and synthetic fertilizers being used. Chemical products like these are applied to produce crops continuously regardless of plagues or poor weather conditions, this affects the integrity of the vegetables. Another concern is that pesticides are poisonous to us.

3. There will be no genetic modification. Farmers also use drugs such as antibiotics and hormones to grow larger plants and vegetables.The problem with this practice is you end up up with identical vegetables that have virtually no taste. The hormones that have been used end up being ingested by us further affecting our health.

4. By eating organic vegetables you have grow yourself you will be sure they are healthy for you. You will not need to worry about the addatives named above, and they will be more natural than anythign you can get at the supermarket. Your health will not bein jeappardy and you will know that nothing has been added to your produce.

5. Growing your own organic vegetables will provide you with much more tasty vegetables. Using pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones and antibiotics cause vegetables to grow in an unnatural way and hurt the taste as well. Organic vegetables will enhance your cooking as they tend to have much better flavor.

6. Organic farming is friendly to the environment. Because you won't use pesticides or other equally harming products on your vegetables, you will not damage the soil or the air with the chemical components.

7. Another plus from growing your own organic vegetables is that you contribute to your own self-sustainability as well as that of the planet. Communities have been started where people can exchange produce that they have grown naturally. This creates a friendly enviornment which is beneficial to everyone.

Eating organic products just means that you don't add anything to them that they would not naturally have. As you can guess, additives, fertilizers, pesticides or hormones are not ingredients of naturally grown food. To enjoy better health, try growing your own organic vegetables in some small pots on your patio. - 17274
