Eating organic food and a nutritious diet is one of the most important human needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It provides a safer and healthier option for people and the environment to consume. Though most people prefer to use a non-organic product because it is much cheaper in the market but switching to organic foods may save an individual’s money, in the long run.
According to Republic Act (R.A.), 10068 or the Organic Agriculture Act of 2010, the promotion, propagation and development, and implementation of organic agriculture are part of state policies in order to enrich the fertility of the soil, increase the country’s farm productivity, reduce pollution and destruction of the environment as well as prevent the depletion of natural resources.
Here are the important things to understand what are the health benefits of eating all- natural and organic food.
Antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic resistance is a naturally occurring process. However, increases in antibiotic resistance are driven by a combination of germs exposed to antibiotics.
According to organicitsworthit.org, organic practices prohibit the use of hormones, antibiotics, or other animal drugs in animal feed for the purpose of stimulating the growth or production of livestock. If an antibiotic is used to restore an animal to health, that animal cannot be used for organic production or be sold, labeled, or represented as organic.
The use of antibiotics is banned in organic but is still common in conventional animal rearing. Using antibiotics in agricultural settings can add to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria that can be passed to humans.
Improve heart condition
Foods such as leafy green vegetables, whole grains, and fruits that are grown organically without the use of harmful chemicals and fertilizers, have a high potential to keep an individual’s heart healthy. According to study, organic foods are free from foreign chemicals that may prevent any risk of health conditions such as cancer and health problems. It boosts the immune system by getting the high value of vitamins and minerals.
Lower levels of toxic chemicals
There’s a study done at the University of California found that eating organically-grown food for just one week can significantly reduce the levels of pesticides within the body. Researchers found the levels of toxins decreased by an average of 60.5 percent after six days of eating organic food.
According to the result of the study, exposure to pesticides has been linked to many adverse health outcomes including asthma, infertility, hormone imbalances, autoimmune disorders, and impaired cognitive development.
