This Is What Really Happens To Your Body When You Switch To Organic Food

If you’re not currently eating organically-grown produce and certified organic animal products, you most likely have pesticides and other dangerous chemicals in your body that you’re not even aware of. Even if you’re eating a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, your health may be at risk. Some of the most common foods we consider healthy are also some of the highest when it comes to concentrations of chemicals and pesticides that can adversely affect your health as well as the health of your children.

Apples, leafy greens, strawberries, peaches and even potatoes all have tested positive for pesticide and chemical residue. Unless, that is, you choose organically-grown products. By switching just some of these foods in your diet to their organic counterparts, you can greatly reduce the levels of toxic poisons in your body. When it comes to animal products like meat and dairy, non-organic products often contain hormones and antibiotics. They may even contain other drugs that can be ingested and cause health problems that manifest many years down the road. With a simple switch to organic eating, you may reduce risks of food allergies, memory loss and obesity. Some more serious threats to your health such as diabetes and diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s may even be avoidable when you opt for organic. Children can be most susceptible to the effects of ingested chemicals, and choosing organic foods can lower the risk of cancers as well as issues like decreased cognitive function or even behavioral problems. The evidence is strong: Making that switch to organic foods may just improve the quality of life for you and your entire family not just now, but for years to come!
