Home Dr. Booras' Tip of the Month...The Benefits of Organic FoodsMany people ask me if it is really necessary to purchase organic foods. I say yes whenever possible! Below find a few great reasons.1. Organic foods are simply more nutritious. Plants that are grown without the use of fertilizers or pesticides are known to adapt to the harsh environment by producing more proteins and anti-oxidants to help them resist bugs and collect nurtients from their surroundings more efficiently. Animals free of antibiotics and growth hormones also adapt this way. Their bodies produce more vitamins and minerals in order for them to survive.2. Eating organic is also better for the environment. Using no pesticides and fertilizers means that no toxic chemicals are released into the surroundings. Crop rotation, which involves the planting of different types of plants throughout the year, also helps to preseve the natural fertility of the soil. The absence of chemicals allows the sustenance of wild plants and animals and therefore supports biodiversity.3. Better for the animals. Animals in organic farms live better lives compared to those animals raised in a factory farm setting. The environment in an organic farm needs to be healthy and sustainable so that they can survive without the antibiotics, hormones and other synthetic substances that are used in a factory farm setting.4. Genetic Modification (GM) Free. One of the greatest benefits of organic foods is that it has not undergone any genetic modification. A life form is said to be genetically altered when genes of other species have been mixed into its own genes. This is performed to "improve" the qualities of the subject. GM is still very new and still has high chances of leading to the development of unwanted traits that may endanger consmers.Just a few reasons to buy and eat organic foods... Remember, you are what you eat. What's your health worth?To your health and wellbeing,Dr. Pam
