Can Organic Food Comsumption Change Your Life?

Picture


Notice a different attitude in today’s world about the subject of organic gardening.
As people become more and more aware of their environment and what they can do to help
themselves and the earth, they are turning to organic gardening. Organic gardens are a
way to gain control on what you consume, how to improve your health and reduce the risk
of diseases, like obesity, diabetes, and cancer.

 Many people go to organic farmer’s markets to stock up on freshly grown 
 organic fruits and vegetables, or they peruse their local supermarket to see   
 what is in stock. However, while organic food is great for the body and  
 environment, it's not so nice on the wallet. That’s why many people are turning to 
  home organic gardening.  Organic gardening at home can be successful once established
 and with some level of time and effort. It does take a bit more effort and a stronger
 commitment to maintain than a non-orgnaic alternative.  It goes without saying, you will
 not be able to use conventional sprays and poisons to get rid of bugs, diseases and pests.
 Or use synthetic growth agents to increase productions, however it is worth it in the long run, as the extra effort is worth
 the healthier fruits and vegetables your family will enjoy.

 Many home gardeners use their own compost to fertilze. This is a great way  to help the earth by recycling. Composting helps the soil become rich, which then aids your garden and provides natural protection and increased production of your fruits and vegetables. Its a win-win solution, you'll be saving money on fertilizer, while helping the planet by reusing and recycling waste.

What About Pesticides!
Consuming more organic food certainly isn't the  only way to improve one's nutrient
 intake, but it may be the safest. It's regularly claimed by the mainstream food industry
 that pesticide residues in foods are known to be safe on the basis of total diet surveys that
supposedly find the levels of pesticide residues in our food to be very low and within
acceptable safety limits.  But monitoring programs consistently show that around
one in three non-organic food samples tested contains a variety of pesticide residues, with
 far lower levels being found in and on organic produce.  Conventional-food proponents also
claim that rigorous safety assessments show that pesticide residues are no threat to human health.
Yet consumers intuitively know this is a false assurance.

Most pesticide-residue safety levels are set for individual pesticides, but many samples
of fresh produce carry multiple pesticide residues. Rules often do not take into account the "cocktail effect"
of combinations of pesticides in and on foods. Research is emerging confirming the potential for such
 synergistic increases in toxicity of up to 100-fold, resulting in reproductive, immune and nervous system
effects not expected from the individual compounds acting alone. (data from grinningplanet)
