The benefits of eating organicAuthor: Jessica
07.28.2011
With more and more pesticides being used to grow food, buying organic is becoming increasingly more important for our health. Steroids and growth hormones are used in farm animals that we consume on a daily basis. But animal products aren’t the only ones affected; vegetables and fruits are getting a full on assault of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers in order for farmers to grow a larger crop. Chemicals in our foods affect our bodies in ways we can’t even begin to understand. Now the health community is finally catching on and advising consumers to start eating organic. Free of hormones Hormones fed to animals can directly affect us. Along with the meat we consume, we also consume anything that the animal has been exposed to. That means that we are indirectly consuming the hormones. This can affect the natural balance of our bodies. Organic meat is hormone free. At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes and Santa Monica, we advise our patients to eat organic when possible, and to cleanse the body with regular colonics to get rid of harmful chemicals. No pesticides or herbicides It’s no secret that a majority of food is currently grown with pesticides and herbicides to maximize the output of crop. These poisons, used to kill off bugs and weeds, can greatly damage our bodies. Often, the chemicals are still on the food when they enter the home. Organic foods are grown without the presence of chemicals, providing all the nutrition without the damaging effects of the pesticides or herbicides. More antioxidants Antioxidants are vital for clearing the body of free radicals, which may contribute to cancer and other diseases. Organic foods generally have a higher level of antioxidants because they are fresher to the market. Fruits and vegetables are packed with antioxidants. Some examples of foods containing high amounts of these free radical fighters include asparagus, beets, mangoes, peaches, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, berries, kale, strawberries, broccoli, nuts, papaya and spinach. Supports the local community Buying organic foods at your local farmer’s market is not only good for your health; it’s good for the local economy. Many non-corporate farmers struggle to keep up with the booming farming business, and purchasing produce from their market will allow them to keep providing you with fresh fruits, vegetables and meats so you can keep eating organic. We believe in combining an organic lifestyle with regular colonics to promote overall well-being. Contact us today to create your personal detox program.
