10 Ways eating organic food will change your life

Every day more and more people turn to the organic way of life owing to the multitude of positive changes it brings to our lives and the world. Being mindful of what we put in our bodies changes our attitude towards food and improves overall health. Over the years, there has been a steep decline in the health quotient of the world’s population, and a sharp increase in the prevalence of many diseases, including cancer. Clearly, we’re doing something very wrong. Studies point fingers at the change in lifestyle and the food we ingest every day. To have more control over what is consumed, many families started incorporating more organic and local foods into their diets. Let us look at 10 ways in which this shifting wave can change people’s lives for the better.

Obviously, one that it is healthy:

Free of Pesticides

No prizes for guessing this one! Produce cultivated in a conventional manner is sprayed with insecticides, harmful pesticides, and chemical fertilizers. Whereas an organic farmer grows his produce using manure or natural fertilizers and compost. These natural methods are used to control the growth of worms and pests. Hence, this form of agriculture uses no chemicals and in India, APEDA has the authority to check, regulate, and ensure these methods.

Planet Friendly

With the use of natural methods, crop rotation, and green compost, such agricultural practices not only benefit you but also Mother Earth. The same methods are applied to beef, pork poultry, and other meat products. A wholesome diet and a clean and hygienic environment go a long way to give our family a healthy hearty dish of chicken and egg. Additionally, when we grow healthy and pure food products, we save the planet as much as we save lives. Therefore, the mantra is “Go Green”.

Ample of Antioxidants

Studies have shown that organic foods have higher levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants, as we know, help fight ailments as they boost our immune system and have a positive impact on our body. They also result in less consumption of harmful heavy metals prevalent in conventionally grown foods. Consumption of organic food also reduces the prevalence of heart diseases, cancer, premature ageing and various other illnesses.

Lean and Mean CLA

It is found that organic foods are often high in CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid). CLA is a natural fatty acid and is considered one of the “good fats” that decrease our urge to consume empty calories. In short, CLA replaces the need for other “bad fat”, helping us burn fat more effectively within our bodies. Two widely praised examples of good fats are omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that are essential for our body. CLA is mostly found in animal products that have been grass-fed and cultivated organically.
