Organic Food and Its Effect on Human Health

In today’s stressful life we must keep an eye on the quality of life, which can only be improved if one makes informed decisions about which products to buy in order to use only the best.

All of us wish to be healthy and happy. Without health, we cannot enjoy anything in life. It is imperative that we eat quality food and use natural products to make our life better. The same goes for all other products. Buying organic and whole foods is not the only way to be healthy and save the environment.

 You and your family will become the healthiest ones on the block. If you are elderly and if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is essential for you to get high blood pressure remedies. You can find such products from the listing and buy them online.

In order to maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle you must be able to look at the right place at the right time. Millions of products are making their appearance every day. You must be updated about the trends and market value of all the green and whole products. You can improve your lifestyle by using the right products. 


All you have to do is to be courageous to try new products and discerning enough to buy the right one. You don’t have to waste time in the supermarket being confused and trying products that are not good for you. You can just look for good products online.

The public is becoming increasingly aware of the importance of healthy nutrition for general health and overall well-being. Processed foods which are high in saturated fats, sugar and sodium, and low in essential nutrients are not only responsible for overweight problems but have been also shown to be major contributors to a number of health problems including diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. To make things worse, there are also various artificial preservatives, flavour enhancers and a number of other chemicals with dubious effects on health.


 But on the other hand, unprocessed foods are not as healthy as they seem to be either because most of them are conventionally grown which means with the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones and who knows what else. Fortunately, there is a safer and healthier alternative – organic food.
Image
Critics claim that there are not enough evidence for organic food being either healthier or safer than the conventional one, however, the organic farming methods speak for themselves. The main idea of organic food production is avoidance of all non-organic farming methods which means that the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones and similar things is strictly forbidden. Instead, organic food producers use all natural farming methods such as crop rotation, composting, companion planting, stimulating biodiversity, etc.
Image
As a result, organic products pose no risk of pesticide residues nor presence of other potentially harmful chemicals. Organic food products also are not allowed to contain any genetically modified ingredients nor artificial additives. Although conventionally grown food is claimed to be safe, absence of all non-natural ingredients makes organic food without a doubt a healthier and safer choice because the long term effects of those “safe“ doses of pesticides, preservatives and other chemicals remain unknown. They may be harmless but they may be also seriously harmful. Why take the chance if you do not have to?

Values of Organic Foods for human life :
Organic food is not only healthier because it does not contain residues of any synthetic chemicals but also due to the fact that it is more nutritious. The conventional farmers claim that their fruits and vegetables contain equal amounts of nutrients and many studies confirm their claims. However, they often forget to mention that the nutritional value of a freshly harvested apple, for instance, is significantly higher than that of an apple that has been offered for days or even weeks. 


This is due to the fact that nutritional value of fruits and vegetables begins to drop almost immediately after being harvested. For example, fresh broccoli loses as much as 55% of vitamin C content as early within a weak days after harvest.
Image
Food labeling has improved significantly over the last few years and the consumers are offered considerably more information about the origin, ingredients, etc. but it is still not possible to find the date of harvest for instance which is very important for nutritional value of fresh fruits and vegetables. 

The appearance itself does not reveal anything because all conventional produced fruits and vegetables are typically treated with preservatives. Thus they may look fresh and taste fresh even if they were harvested weeks ago. The labels of organically grown fruits and vegetables usually do not contain the date of harvest either but due to their very short shelf life, most of organic fruits and vegetables are offered to the consumers almost immediately after harvest because some show signs of deterioration within 24 hours after being picked. This means that they are offered really fresh which makes them more nutritious than conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.
Image
Loss of nutritional value of fresh fruits and vegetables after harvest may seem to have little to do with the way they are grown. However, it has a lot to do with plant growing methods. Organic farming does not only strictly avoid the use of chemicals during plant growth but also forbids the use of any kind of preservatives or chemicals to extend their shelf life. As a result, organic food spoils a lot earlier and needs to be eaten in a considerably shorter period of time than conventionally grown fruits and vegetables. 




These are typically harvested before ripening to “survive“ the transport or/and treated with all sorts of things to extend their shelf life. They remain fresh-looking a lot longer than organic fruits and vegetables, and therefore often provide less essential nutrients than they are claimed to contain.
Image
Nutritional value of meat and dairy products may not seem as problematic because they have to be offered fresh, frozen or refrigerated regardless of their method of production. However, it is hard to imagine that a chicken that never has an access to sunlight for instance produces equally nutritious eggs as chicken that has both access to daylight and scratching, or a cow confined at high stocking density in a barn producing as nutritious milk as a cow grazing outdoors on grass all year round.
Image
Growing organic vegetables in your own garden is really easy! It’s not just a great way to get some exercise and produce healthy food to eat, you’ll also be saving money in the long run as you harvest your crops. There’s no excuse – so make so your  resolutions include growing your own organic vegetables.
