Choosing the Best Organic Foods

Choosing the Best Organic Foods

By Emma B. Green

Many people are trying to buy their foods organically. The focus tends to be on buying organic fruits and vegetables.

However, what most people do not know is that animals store pesticides and toxins in their fat. And, the animal products are much more dangerous in pollutants than any fruit or vegetable might be.

The amount of pesticides on produce is very minimal compared to the huge amount of toxins to be found in the fat of animals. You have to watch out for milk, cheese, butter, fish, chicken, beef, and pork.

Unless you are buying organic eggs or meats, you are buying foods that are high in dangerous elements. If you have the money to buy animal products, make sure that you buy only organic products.

You will most likely have to get your items from a health food store. You can save a lot of money by just buying grains, beans, potatoes, vegetables, and fruits for all your protein and calcium needs.

These foods actually have a plentiful supply of protein. The herbivores get their protein from the plants, and the carnivores get their protein from the herbivores.

And, contrary to erroneous beliefs, humans are not carnivores. Many scientific studies prove that humans are prone to unlimited types of diseases when they eat animal products.

In fact, that is where all the diseases come from. So, if you are worried about pesticides and eating organically, you should probably go vegan or buy all of your animal products from a health food store.

You will save money and have much better health if you just switch to a 100% vegetarian diet. If you switch to a vegan diet, you will probably be getting an abundant supply of vitamins and minerals.

These super antioxidants will help your liver to eliminate any minimal amount of toxins present. Then, if you have a little money and want to be super healthy, you can start buying organic produce.

The benefits of buying your produce organically is that you will be buying a superior product. Studies have shown that organic plant foods have a much higher content of nutrition than the conventionally grown plants.

However, when it comes to bananas, pineapple, oranges, and avocados, you don't have to buy them organically. You will just be taking the peelings off and discarding them, so it's not a big deal to try to get them organic.

It's also not necessary to get cruciferous vegetables organically. You can go ahead and buy broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale conventionally. Bugs are not as attracted to these strong sulfuric vegetables.

It's also not necessary to buy organic root vegetables, since they grow underground and usually don't have a bug problem. But, thin-skinned tomatoes, pears, and peaches would be better if you bought them organically.

Heavy pesticides are used to protect them. Ironically, this amount of pesticide is a small drop in the bucket compared to the massive amount stored in the fat of animals. Shop wisely for your health.
