Why Organic food is the new Health Food? Buying organic is the latest growing trend in Australia. Major supermarkets are stocking larger varieties of organic foods, health food stores are abundant, and in comparison to the rest of the world, Australia has the largest area under organic cultivation. But is organic food really better for your health than conventional food? The studies conducted have revealed conflicting conclusions. Some indicate that organic natural food contains higher nutrient levels than conventional foods, while other studies indicate no distinction in the nutrient level of the two food categories. However, most studies agree that organic milk contains more anti-oxidants, omega 3, CLA, and vitamins than non organic milk. According to the researchers at the Danish Institute of Agricultural Research, University of Aberdeen, and the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research, organic milk is a better health food than non organic milk as organic cows are pasture grazed which results in better quality milk. If we are not sure of the health benefits of organic natural food, why should we spend the extra money on organic food in health food stores? Better Taste: Many consumer of natural food claim the flavour is much better, fruits and vegetables are juicy and the milk tastes richer. Lower Pesticide Residues: This is probably the most significant motive for buying organic food. Farmers of natural food do not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The use of natural fertilizers, such as manure or compost, to feed soil and plants, and the use of insects and birds, to reduce pests and disease, means that the organic food you consume is a health food without harmful chemicals. Less Food Additives: Research has shown that these additives can cause harmful side effects that the same food without the additives normally would not cause. Many additives - such as preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colourings and flavourings, MSG, hydrogenated fat and phosphoric acid - are prohibited in natural food production. Better for the Environment: As harmful chemicals are not used and good farming practices are implemented, there is minimal soil, water and air pollution, thus not only is organic food a health food for you and your family but also a mitigator for climate change. Better for Animals: Animals producing organic milk, organic meat, organic poultry, and organic fish are not confined to a caged life. Organic food will provide your family with numerous health benefits, and, at the same time, save the environment. By reducing the intake of conventional foods, your body will start to feel better. The reduction in harmful chemicals will leave you feeling happier and healthier. To be sure that you are purchasing the right health food in health food stores, always ensure that you read the label and look for the logo that certifies the product is organic.
