Currently, there are hundreds of organic products in the market. From apples to apple cereal can be found with this call. Also, an increasing number of studies and experts confirm the relationship between genetically modified foods with numerous health problems. So is it worth paying a little more for organic foods?
The first thing is to clearly understand what you mean by the term organic, which means not just the food itself and also describes how the methods of production thereof. Thus, foods labeled as organic must meet or exceed the standards of the National Organic Program (NOP). It is excellent that there is a clear definition of what is considered an organic food and not found in other so-called labels foods that lack clear regulations or provisions, as "natural" or "super healthy."
However, what began as a mark of exclusivity has become a powerful marketing tool where consumers believe that all the organic is healthy. In fact, in a study presented at Experimental Biology Conference, people who ate cookies with organic labeling believed their snack contained 40% fewer calories than the same cookies that did not have this label.
GOOD HEALTH, NO PRICELESS However, Lisa Roberts-Lehan to, nutritional counseling and holistic chef ( lisarobertslehan.com ), it is worth paying a little more to include organic foods in your daily diet. "100% organic foods are free of harmful pesticides, chemicals and genetically modified organisms. Our body recognizes these substances, so that the body has to work harder to digest and synthesize these compounds. Over time, the accumulation of pesticides and other chemicals in our body can lead to certain diseases " says Roberts-Lehan.
The Organic Center, in collaboration with professors from the University of Florida and Washington State University, found that organic foods can have up to 25% more vitamins, antioxidants and minerals than non-organic. Roberts-Lehan notes that "an organic apple may expose 20 to 30 chemicals on your skin even after rinsing with water." WHICH INCLUDE FOOD WORTH? Each year, the Environmental Working Group - a non profit organization dedicated to environmental research to improve public health and environmental protection, the guide presents pesticide products. For this year, these are organic foods that are recommended to buy apples, celery, strawberries , peaches, spinach, nectarines (imported), grapes (imported), peppers, potatoes, cranberries, lettuce and kale.
There is sample evidence of why you should include some organic foods in your daily diet. However, experts warn that fruits and vegetables should not be missing in the diet in any way, whether organic or not. Additionally, indicate that not everything is healthy organic and / or low in calories, fat and simple sugars. Thus, organic fries are no less harmful than those that do not have the organic seal. Both will give you the same calories and saturated fat, so it's not worth it to invest your money in this product class.
