Health Benefits of Organic food
June 19, 2008
The health benefits of organic food are more professed than real. However, the public opinion that organic food is healthier than conventional food is quite strong and is the only reason for about 30% growth in the organic food industry since the past 5-6 years. Organic food is grown with the help of natural fertilizers, like natural manure and compost.
Research conducted on organic milk has shown that it has more anti-oxidants, omega 3, CLA, and vitamins than non organic milk. According to the researchers, organic milk is healthier than non organic milk as organic cows are pasture grazed which results in better quality milk.
Eating organic protects your own personal health. Over 400 different pesticides are used in non-organic farming (also known as conventional farming). Pesticides are poisons designed to kill living organisms; their residues are present in the foods we eat.
For the rest, the health benefits of organic food are based on the general beliefs of the organic food consumers, farmers, manufacturers, and retailers. These benefits are:
• Better health: Since organic food is not prepared using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it does not contain any traces of these strong chemicals and might not affect the human body, chemical fertilizers can harm body in different body, as they contain carcinogenic elements, which goes inside our body through vegetables and fruits and results in producing cancers cells..
• Better taste: People strongly believe that organic food tastes better than non organic food. The prominent reason for this belief is that it is produced using organic means of production. Further organic food is often sold locally resulting in availability of fresh produce in the market.
• Environment safety: As harmful chemicals are not used in organic farming, there is minimal soil, air and water pollution; thus ensuring a safe world for future generations to live in.
