Organic
Food: The what’s
and the why’s
Organic foods are, principally, produced
without the involvement of any modern man-made inputs such as chemical fertilizers
and synthetic pesticides. A natural organic food is not processed with the use of industrial solvents, chemical
additives or irradiation.
Most people believe that foods that are
grown organically are much safer, tastes better and are more nutritious compared
to those grown in a conventional manner. With such belief, the demand for this
type of produce has increased despite being quite costly.
Taste
Better?
There is a 2009 literature review that held
most studies have shown that conventional food and natural organic food taste the same. There is no noteworthy
difference on the taste between the two types of foods. However, there are some
well-designed researches regarding vegetables and fruits that show a more
favourable vote on organic produce.
It has been found out that an organic fruit
is much drier than that grown conventionally. With such, the flavouring
substance is much concentrated, thus giving it a more intense taste.
Step
up and be Healthy!
Changing your eating habits may be
time-consuming and tricky at first. You need to chuck out that junk food habit
and lift up the nutritional knowledge. Take time to read labels and identifying
organic foods. The most crucial part is to get those taste buds on your side!
Give them some time to take pleasure in the natural tastes because loving natural organic food is the secret to
eating healthy.

Keep your refrigerator and
kitchen pantry healthy. Stash organic
and healthy foods instead of your usual junk, instant foods and microwave
dinners. Help yourself to eat
unprocessed foods and fresh foods such as organic raw veggies and fruits. Check
the labels if they contain the USDA certification.

It would be better if you
cook your meals so you will know what you are eating. You don’t need to prepare
exotic recipes (but if you can, why not?).

Plan your meals in
advance. Writing them down on a piece of paper helps you stick to your organic
diet. There are several healthy recipes available on the internet, try checking
them out to have variety.

you have time, why not grow your own organic farm? All you need to remember is
to keep everything natural - no synthetics. You eat what you grow. More
natural,much healthier! But if you
do not have the time and place, check the organic food stores near your place.
