Hi there! In today's post, we would like to explore the topic of eating organic foods, & compare the health impacts of organic vs non-organic vegetables..
Why is this important?
Our bodies are how we interface with this physical world. Nourishment is needed to sustain us daily.
The quality of food we consume affects the functionality, performance & durability of our bodies – the healthier & cleaner you eat, the better it is for your body.
Just like a car consumes fuel, a higher grade of fuel improves the functionality, performance & durability of its engine.
By the end of this post, we hope you'll see the importance of eating organic (if not already). We also show you how to easily grow your own organic vegetables indoors, at home, for consumption.
The Difference
Did you know that switching from regular to organic vegetables give you more nutrients compared to aged produce grown with synthetic fertilisers, pesticides & preservatives!
They have significantly higher levels of antioxidants & anticarcinogens (micronutrients like vitamin A, B, C, E, K, carotenoids, polyphenols, zinc, iron, magnesium, selenium & more).
These compounds protect our cells from inflammation, free radical damage & keep us youthful.
Organic crops carry 30% less nitrate compounds. High nitrate levels are linked to increased risk of certain types of cancer & methemoglobinemia, a disease which affects the ability of infants to absorb oxygen.
Organic produce reduce your exposure to toxins like pesticide residues & antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Cadmium (extremely toxic metal) is found to be 48% lower in organic produce. Pesticide residues are 4X more likely to be found in non-organic crops.
Washing, scrubbing, peeling & cooking cannot always remove those chemicals completely. That could explain why studies suggest that organic foods may lower the risk of allergies & eczema.
We can all see the health benefits of consuming organic vegetables. Why not grow your own for consumption? Read on to find out how you can easily grow plenty of organic produce indoors, at home!
Unethical Practices & Environmental Pollution
Due to the profit-maximising nature of business, farms often use chemicals to minimise inputs & maximise yield.
Chemical fertilisers & pesticides are used by farms to supersize harvests, kill insects & pests. These toxic substances can get into our bodies, accumulate & cause health issues over time.
Even at farms that are certified organic, we would never know for sure, if strict organic standards are consistently adhered to all the time. Human error & integrity issues could come into play.
It is also possible for organic farms to be polluted by chemicals carried over by wind, clouds & waterways from hundreds of miles away. These contaminants can originate from agriculture, industry, mining, landfills, waste disposal, etc.
The only sure way to eat healthy & organic is to grow your own produce.
With our innovative hydroponic Grow Systems, growing your own organic vegetables indoors at home, is EASY.
