Benefits of organic foods
Co-author: Salad Cesar. The benefits of organic foods become apparent to anyone concerned with the downside of the highly processed food. When we refer to the difference between conventional and organic food, we don't necessarily imply the one between an apple grown organically and another regular one. What needs to be insisted on consists in the real benefits of organic foods for health first and foremost.
Lots of consumers suffering from some form of chronic illness or even cancer, choose organic foods as safer and more health oriented than conventional products. Although lots of people claim that there is little difference in terms of nutrients, the absence of hormones and chemicals from organic food works great for the promotion of a state of well-being. Lots of consumer analyses do not insist on the difference in nutrients value, there are studies however that indicate superior characteristics and more benefits of organic foods in the first place.
There are more trace minerals, superior amounts of vitamin C and considerably more anti-oxidant substances, and this is to count just a few of the benefits of organic foods. A report issued by the US Department of Agriculture shows that there has been a significant decline in the minerals levels of meat, dairy and vegetables since 1940 in terms of regular non-organic crops.
The fact that nowadays we store food extensively and we treat and process the products so much contributes to an alteration of the nutritional value.
Surprising benefits of organic foods include the higher content of dry matter. Under the influence of fertilizers, there is a higher water retention in fruits and vegetables. Thus, there is less food in the form of dry matter in a non-organic apple than in an organic one. Nevertheless, besides the different amounts of nutrients, more advantages of organic food can be identified.
First of all, virtually no pesticide residues can be traced in organic products. Even if conventional food producers claim that pesticides are no threat to human health, one doesn't have to be an expert to know that the ingestion of anything chemical can't be healthy and positive for the body in terms of effects. The benefits of organic foods are much insisted on at present, with more and more people choosing them over conventional foods.
In time this preference will definitely trigger a reorientation of the market and even a reformulation of the standards that characterize organic food in its essence. - 17269
