Why Organic Food Is Important for Our Health?

Organic food is food grown naturally without any use of harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic food is produced without chemicals and can even prevent and reduce health risks to farm workers and their families by minimizing exposure to toxic chemicals. Not only the health risk but it offers great health benefits as well. Below are the health benefits of having organic food in your diet.

1. Organic food has more nutrients
   Organic production not only reduces health risks but also yields harvests that are rich in nutrients such as vitamins, Iron, Magnesium, and Phosphorus. With less exposure to chemicals, the food has less nitrate and pesticide residues.
2. Organic food is often fresh
   Organic food does not contain any preservatives and is always sold fresh near the areas where it is actually grown.
3. Organic food is good for the environment
   Having no chemicals and pesticides used, organic food promotes green earth and prevents pollution increasing soil fertility.
4. Healthy animal byproduct
   The animals fed organic foods tend to have more nutrients in their milk and meat.  A European study shows that levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50% higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions.
5. No artificial colours and preservatives
   No artificial colours, preservatives and flavours are added to organic food which means the food is cleaner.

Adding organic food to your diet reduces the exposure to chemicals, artificial hormones and other bacteria keeping you fit and healthy. It also promotes a healthy environment making soils healthy by reducing nitrate and pesticide use.
