What Are Organic Chickens And What Are The Benefits Of Eating Them?

By Andrea Kristi

Chicken is considered to be one of the healthiest meats in the market. However, if you really want to buy the best for your family, buy organic chicken.

One of the reasons why you should avoid eating conventionally raised chicken is because many farmers use arsenic in the chicken feed. Many studies confirmed that arsenic is linked to many health problems such as heart disease, liver disease, diabetes and cancer.

Another study has shown that if pregnant women expose themselves to arsenic, their children may have higher chances of getting cancer later in life.

Government researchers found that arsenic levels in young chicken may be up to four times higher than in other poultry.

Arsenic is a very dangerous poison, which can also be deadly. Even though the chicken industry claims that the amounts of arsenic used in the organic chickens feed is safe, many experts are convinced that no amount of arsenic is safe.

No arsenic is used in organic chicken feed. Organic chickens are fed all natural grains, which were grown on chemical and pesticide free farms. Organic chicken is also not given antibiotics, vaccines or growth hormones. They get daily access to sunshine and fresh air and they have lots of room to move. If you think that sunshine and fresh air only benefits the chickens, you are wrong.

Organic chickens, which are also free-range, can move and run freely, so their muscles are not wasted, but exercised. Organic chickens have higher amounts of Omega-3 Fatty Acids and plenty of beneficial fats, which can lower cholesterol. Organic eggs have a richer taste and are also better for you.

Not everyone can afford buying organic food and organic meat regularly. People on a budget should check local farms and look for organic farmers in their area. They often offer organic food and poultry for lower prices.

If you are not convinced that buying organic chicken is better for your health, give it a try anyway. You will taste the difference and may never want to go back to conventionally raised chicken again. - 17269
