You are what you eat. If you take a look on this phrase, what would you think? If you think, “Yeah right” than you are not ready for any changes in your eating habits but if your mind is tickled, than you should start informing yourself.
You must have been heard about organic food. It became a trend, very popular and as opposed to the beginning, when you could find it only at specialty stores, now big supermarkets are making more and more space for organic food.
Organic Foods
Organic food is great because it is bringing us back to the nature. All food that is grown in conventional way has a help from pesticides and additives that control and modify growth of food. In case of dairy products and meat, animals are given antibiotics, growth hormones and medications to prevent disease and that way all this unhealthy ingredients are included in what we eat.
On the other side, we have organic food that is grown by the strict guidelines associated with strict government’s standards. As a contrast to the food grown in a conventional way, this organic food must be grown without using any genetically modified organisms, pesticides and additives and must be grown in environmentally safe soil, free of chemicals. In case of food that comes from animals, animals are forbidden to receive the chemical mentioned above. Instead, animals are fed with organic food and they are allowed to go outside. Diseases are reduced by balancing animal’s diet and by keeping them and their place clean.
All these procedures are natural as they were all in the past, when life was not this fast and people had more time to eat and live healthy. But more and more people are starting to pay attention to more healthy way of living as eating organically grown food is, as well as spending more time outdoors and exercising.
For the reason that organic food has become so popular and more accessible, you should know what exactly labels on these foods mean. If is says 100 percent organic on label, it means that these products are produced of all organic ingredients. If it says organic, it means that ingredients in this product are at least 95 percent organically produced. And at the end, on some products you can see a label that says made with organic ingredients. These products include at least 70 percent of organically produced ingredients.
Now that you know all those facts, you can try to find out more about this healthy food or maybe this is enough information for you, to persuade you to change you eating habits.
