ORGANIC FOOD – GOOD FOR YOUR ORGANS

There is a lot to be said for food that is grown organically, but the number one reason why it is good to insist on organic foods is that they keep your organs healthy. Why just organic foods? It is because they provide the cleanest version of healthy foods, keeping your organs clean and free from the effects of toxins. This is because they are not grown with genetically modified seeds, and do not contain synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, artificial additives, trans fats, etc.

However, it is important to understand the full extent of the term ‘organic’. This term refers to the way that these agricultural products are grown and processed, i.e. without the use of synthetic pesticides, bioengineered genes, petroleum-based fertilizers, and sewage sludge-based fertilizers. Organic livestock, that is bred for meat and dairy products, must be allowed to graze and roam outdoors and be given organic feed. If they are being given antibiotics, growth hormones, etc., or any animal by-products, then they are not being organically raised.

The fact is, the way your food is grown or bred, can have a significant impact on your mental and emotional health, and on the health of your organs. Organic foods provide the benefit of nutrients such as antioxidants, and if you suffer from food allergies, you will notice that they decrease or disappear when you eat only organic foods, because of the pure and natural way in which they are grown.
