Why Choose Organic?
Sep 27th 2021
Choosing what’s best for your health must be one of your top priorities — from exercise routine to healthy food, name it! There are so many products to select from that all seem to do the same thing: feed you. Hence, making the right choices at the grocery store for both you and your family can often be a daunting task, most especially deciding what’s healthy and not.
We — in pHresh Products — believe in the power of organics and have listed 5 reasons why organics can help you on your path to becoming as fit as a fiddle and much happier!
Organic Food Are Nutrient-dense
Non-organic crops get their nutrients from synthetic fertilizers made from fossil fuels. Unlike organic foods, they get their nutrients straight from healthy, rich, organic dirt. If the dirt is healthy then there should be no need for fertilizers. Years of not replenishing the soil with organic matter push farmers to add synthetic fertilizers. This leads to nutrient-deficient crops grown from the same thing that fuels our cars.1
Organic Food Eliminates GMO Production
Not only does the organic certification ensure there are no harmful chemicals on our food, but it also guarantees that they are not GMOs. Among other things, GMOs are often contrived to be used in conjunction with a single harmful chemical, such as Round Up or Agent Orange.2
Therefore, shopping organic is taking a stance against the large chemical-producing corporations that have polluted the world’s food and fields.
Organic Food Makes Water Clean
Organic food farming methods aid to sanitize water plus use less water which results in preserving the earth's water supplies.
Many pesticides don't break down in the water and may remain in the water system for years. Companies who improperly dispose of pesticides can contaminate soil and drinking water supplies as well. Pesticides and chemicals don't belong in drinking water, lakes, or oceans, but right now most of the water on earth is at risk. Surface water runoff from non-organic farms and other non-organic food operations can deposit pesticides into lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.3
Hence, one of the best ways not only to be healthy but also to save the planet is to purchase and consume organic food!
Organic Food is More Delectable
Prepared organic foods are really where taste differences come in. Organic foods don't contain chemical fake flavors, so the true taste of the food shines through. Organic foods don't contain artificial preservatives, so they sit on the shelf for less time, and consumers get a fresher, better-tasting product. That’s why you're more likely to get fresher flavor with organic.
Organic Food Boosts Animal Welfare
Buying organic does help animals. Wild animals, fish, and birds depend upon healthy plants, streams, rivers, and lakes in their habitat. When pesticides infiltrate animal habitats many creatures suffer.
U.S. policy surrounding organic livestock is not perfect. Organic livestock rules center less on a happy lifestyle and more on how animals are fed and treated medically. Still, research shows that organic livestock is more likely to be treated better than non-organic livestock.4
