Your doctor has probably often warned that you need to take care about the foods you eat.. You are often told to consume a balance of meat, vegetables, fruit and fish and you should be fine. Think again But because some of these contain harmful chemicals, perhaps you should start switching to organically grown vegetables and other food products.
Further Reasons To Go Organic..
Genetically modified food and ingredients are creeping ever more into everything we eat. Animals are fed with products to boost their size , produce more milk etc. Farmers use techniques that make vegetables grow larger and to preserve them longer. Vegetables and fruit are genetically modified to make them pest resistant. While regulators have passed many genetically modified foods as safe , environmentalists contend that they have serious negative effects on the environment as well as our health. .
No magic or anything extravagant is used to make organically grown crops. What does one actually require to be an organic farmer ? The answer is water , some compost , fertile soil and sunlight.
Studies have shown that organic fruit and vegetables have on average 50 percent more vitamins and those produced in conventional farming methods.
There are commercial interests that deny the benefits of organic farming stating there is no proof that this is healthier.. Common sense should warn you that ingesting pesticides and chemicals is hazardous to your health. It has been proven that pesticides weaken the body's immune system and causes mutations in both plants and animals. Are you willing to risk your life while waiting for "irrefutable proof."
Organic farming has benefits for the environment too. This happens because farmers will no longer use harmful chemicals and put these into the ground.The land which they have worked on can be planted by the next generation because the land that has been cultivated for so long is still fertile.While shopping you will probably notice that conventional food items tend to be cheaper than organic food. Cheaper can often work out to be expensive in the long run. You are not saving money when you have to visit the doctor more often. Eventually, the price of organic items will go down when more farmers decide to sell these in supermarkets. It is only because there is a small division of this available now in the store but when it becomes an industry standard, things will change.
The other option is starting your own organic garden. Its not difficult. Just a little time and effort and the rewards are great for you and your family. Do a little research before staring your organic garden. It will be of great advantage to know how to tend to your plants before you buy the seeds. .
Your garden requires worms. You heard right , worms! Not just any kind of worms though. You need the earthworm variety . Yes they are called earthworms and they are the best gardeners you can find. They remove toxins from the soil and fertilize your garden.
