Buying organic produce has so many benefits for you and your family. Whether you’re making homemade baby food or cooking for your family, here are 3 reasons you should use organic produce.
Organic products are becoming increasingly popular and more available in grocery stores everywhere. That is because there are many benefits to switching to an all-organic diet. Here are some reasons why you should purchase organic produce.
Reduces the Chemicals in Your Diet
The first reason you should buy organic produce is that it reduces the chemicals in your diet. Organic farming does not use toxic chemicals such as pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, and fertilizers to grow their food. The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) has a strictly monitored list of approved materials that organic farmers can use to ensure that all organic food is safe for consumption. When farmers produce food with too many pesticides and hazardous chemicals, it can be carcinogenic and neurotoxic.
Helps Avoid Genetically Modified Organisms
Avoiding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is another reason to eat organic. GMOs are organisms that scientists alter with the use of genetic engineering. The original purpose of this process within farming was to produce food more efficiently. However, the safety level of GMOs is up for debate. Because scientific research has not yet been able to prove that GMOs don’t have negative health effects, projects like the Non-GMO Project are taking it into their own hands to put regulations in place to ensure that organic food is safe and free of any genetically engineered products. While there are some differences between non-GMO and organic, all organic foods are free of GMOs.
Better for the Environment
Organic farming generally uses less water and energy and doesn’t pollute the environment with toxic chemicals. It’s better for the birds and animals that live in that area. And let’s face it, anything that is better for the environment is better for us and our kids. Leaving this Earth a better place for our kids’ future should be top priority for all of us.
Using organic produce is so beneficial for your family’s health and the well-being of our environment.
