Advantages of natural organic foods

By Karol Wariala

Brought to you by: Salad Cesar. With hypermarkets becoming an agglomeration of poisoning so-called foods, and in the conditions of more and more sensitivities and illness, it's no wonder people turn towards natural organic foods.

Although comparisons between conventional and non-conventional foods are relevant, any consumer can use his/her common sense to decide whether the foods he/she buys are good for health. Antibiotics, hormones and pesticides are just a few of the dangers that come from non-organic foods. The non-organic livestock is raised in very harsh conditions, while the fruit and vegetables are synthetically stimulated to appeal to the consumer's eye. By contrast, natural organic foods are cultivated or grown according to the rules of Mother Nature, with very little human intervention.

Natural organic foods may also have traces of chemical residues, but these usually come from nearby farms that use chemicals to grow crops. Furthermore, with natural organic foods the amount of nutrients is significantly higher while the threats are considerably fewer. If we take the example of organic eggs, analyses indicate that besides the lack of hormones and antibiotics, there is less saturated fat, less cholesterol, huge amounts of beta-carotene, superior levels of vitamin A, twice more Omega3 acids than in non-organic eggs. The difference is more than apparent, not to mention that the protein quality is incredible.

The word has traveled far about the positive aspects of natural organic foods, and since not all geographic areas benefit from the direct access to organic retailers, it is good to know that many of the products can be now ordered online from the closest source. If you want to buy natural organic foods, it is more likely to find them at the market than in hypermarkets. Moreover, producers of natural organic foods are more likely to be found in the countryside; therefore take the best of any trip.

Run a basic research and check for supplies.

The only problem with natural organic foods is their price, products will often be 10% or 40% more expensive than non-organic foods. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, the products are very easy to recognize by their look: there will be no huge perfect strawberries or apples, but various fruit sizes, some better than others. Although it is more difficult to tell the difference for meat, go shopping in markets and supermarkets and you'll find what you need!
