Benefits of organic food

Following a varied, balanced diet made up of organic food features multiple benefits which not only positively affect our health, but also help to look after environment and to reduce pollution.

From Astrid Tapería Orgánica We want to share with you a series of benefits or reasons to start consuming organic food and begin taking care of your health and, incidentally, the planet.

1. Organic foods contain fewer synthetic pesticides and artificial fertilisers. This is very important since numerous experts and studies warn of the dangers involved in prolonged and repeated exposure to these products, which can have carcinogenic effects or cause problems in the proper development of the very young.

Additionally, these chemicals often leave behind traces of toxic residue, so consuming them can also prove dangerous for Cheers and cause illnesses such as: heart problems, allergies, asthma, osteoporosis, hyperactivity, headaches... Therefore, by eating organic food, the health of both the consumer and the farmer is protected.

And, of course, by not containing these chemicals they also have a positive environmental impact since both soil and water pollution are eliminated and biodiversity is rescued and promoted thanks to ecological production methods.

2. In the case of the meat and the dairy products if they are organic they have approximately an extra 50% of omega-3 fatty acids. That is, healthy, unsaturated fats. This is because the animals are raised on pasture and spend a lot of time outdoors. Whereas the meat industry feeds them on feed and artificial products.

Furthermore, in conventional factory farms, livestock are given antibiotics and other chemicals such as synthetic hormones to protect them from diseases and make them fatten and grow quickly, and they are raised in unsanitary or overcrowded conditions.

3. Various studies indicate that organically produced food has more antioxidants and positive properties like vitamins, proteins, minerals or natural sugars. compared to conventional ones.

4. Another reason to switch to organic products is that, since they are produced naturally, their properties are not altered and you can appreciate their real flavours, colours and aromas, especially in the case of fruit and vegetables.

Ultimately, organic foods are very healthy as they do not contain chemical products, synthetics or additives. Consuming them, for example, will help you to strengthen your immune system, a improve sleep quality, a lose weight and even to reduce the chances of developing illnesses. Without forgetting that by consuming organic products you are also doing your bit in the protection and care of the environment.
