One look to the grocery store shelves will tell the story of a society in
search of the newest food that will take the weight off, increase energy, and
maximize health. It seems that every year we are bombarded with a new health
craze that guarantees us speedy results along an easy path. But, as many of us
have come to realize the hard way, it remains the greatest truth of all that
eating a balanced, healthy diet is the only way to achieve authentic health. It
seems fitting therefore, that now, more than ever, we are discovering the health
benefits of natural and organic food.Doctors have long advised that diet ? more
than anything ? plays the largest role in our health and longevity. In
accordance, there has been a gradual shift from food products high in saturated
fat, preservatives, and sugar to whole foods such as fresh fruits and
vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and lean protein. But taking this a step
forward is the shift to natural and organic food ? that food that is grown and
raised without the addition of chemicals, hormones, and pesticides. Many think
that because they are eating fresh fruit and vegetables they are making the
healthiest choice. But if these fruits and vegetables have been chemically
altered then you are now exposing yourself to a bevy of alien substances. While
these chemicals are used quite regularly in traditional farming practices, they
have not been studied thoroughly enough to know of their long lasting impact on
the human body. Therefore, a switch to natural and organic food seems to be the
wisest choice for our health.Also falling under the definition of natural and
organic food is organic meat and dairy. Livestock that is raised within organic
guidelines are given only organic feed and are not subjected to any chemicals or
hormones. Further, dairy cows that are traditionally given hormones to speed
growth and increase milk production are chemical-free under natural and organic
food guidelines.The commitment to eating only natural and organic food minimizes
your body?s exposure to chemicals and shows an even greater commitment to the
environment as we show our support to farmers who don?t contaminate the earth
with chemical cocktails.For easy to understand, in depth information about
organic food visit our ezGuide 2 Organic Food.
