No matter what people say about organic gardening, there's nothing more important than you and your family's health.

As you may have knew or guessed it, organic gardening does not involve the use of chemical fertilizers which reduces the risk of Cancer, Birth Defects, Infertility and many other health problems.

Many know of such problems but they do not want to prevent it UNTIL it happens to them. Sad, isn't it? You may argue that money is important than health or equally important.

What I'm trying to convey is, don't wait till the problem happens to you and then prevent it but prevent it before it happens to you. I hope I'm not confusing you. That is why I would say go organic now.

I can't stress the importance with words.

How do you ensure that you have enough energy to last the day, not skip a day or two at work, or even spend some quality time with your loved one or your entire family? Well, that’s easy! Simply eat well. Go natural and switch to a healthy, wholesome, organic diet to ensure a healthier, fitter you.

Benefits of Organic Food

Organic food has a myriad of health benefits. By eating natural, wholesome food, you give your body everything it needs, and keep away the harmful things that it doesn’t. Organic food is devoid of marsh artificial flavors, preservatives, and other such dangerous substances. These range from unnecessary pesticides and fertilizers used to grow fruits and vegetables to strong preservatives and artificial flavors usually used in junk food.

The other thing that’s really great about organic food is that it is safer and gentler on the environment. Since organic food is grown and made naturally, it uses fewer harmful, non-degradable chemicals and materials. Organic, “green” food also tastes much better, has flavors and that are more stronger, and is completely nutritious in every bite.

Eat Organic Meals

Organic food is now amazingly easy to procure and consume. My favorite organic food source is TheNaturalStore.com, a veritable treasure trove for mouth-watering organic treats, ranging from organic snacks and meals to natural spices and seasoning.

For a healthier and fitter life, try the organic milk shakes and fruit juices. The GeniSoy Soy Protein Shake in Chocolate Flavor is a delicious, healthy shake just right to give you the energy to take on the day. The Designer Whey 100% Whey Protein in Strawberry Flavor is another lip-smacking drink after a long day, or just when you are beginning it.

Organic meals don’t have to be bland and tasteless. Try the Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto as a deeply satisfying and nourishing meal. Organic meals like the Thai Kitchen Rice Noodle Bowl with Spring Onion not only indulge your senses, but also give you vigor and strength.

If you are frequently on the move, you can carry easy-to-eat, tasty snacks like the scrumptious Eden Foods Dry Roasted Pumpkin Seeds. The Revolution Foods Organic Mash Ups (4 Pouches, Berry) is another wholesome, easy snack. The Nature's Choice Multigrain Cereal Bars are perfect for a healthy, quick snack too. These crunchy, quick snacks are ideal for picking and keeping in your office bag to ensure you have access to a quick, healthy, energy boost when you’re working.

Organic soups, coffee and tea are a great way to share your healthy lifestyle with your friends and family when you have a quiet evening in. The Mount Hagen Organic-Cafe Coffee is an organic, deeply aromatic coffee with an extremely soothing brew. Annie Chun's All Natural Asian Cuisine Korean Kimchi Soup Bowl is ideal for relaxing with friends and family over a bowl of hot, nourishing soup.

Invest in Good Health

By choosing to eat wholesome, natural food and organic meals, you can ensure life-long good health for you and your loved ones.

Organic refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. The goal in organic farming is to maintain and replenish the soil fertility without using toxic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. "Certified Organic" means the item has been grown in accordance with strict uniform standards that are verified by an independent state or private organization.

Dr. Alan Greene of Stanford's Children's Hospital neatly summarizes the argument for organics: "Eat organic produce. Your immune system won't waste energy trying to fight off the toxins that are sprayed on conventional fruits and vegetables." Eating organics frees up your immune system and antioxidants to do their evolutionarily evolved job, which is to fight off pathogens, cancer, and other diseases originating from natural environmental sources. Your body's natural defense mechanisms are incredible strong, but like anything else, they can only handle so much attack. To keep your defensive line from being spread too thin, you should therefore limit exposure to toxins (and stress) as much as possible. It's important to realize that consuming pesticides and herbicides — even if they have not been found to be directly cardinogenic — can, in effect, lead to cancer if they use up your supply of antioxidants, which would otherwise have prevented cancer that was generated from another source.

It's true that organic foods typically cost more than conventional, but this may be true only in the short-term. After you adopt a healthier lifestyle with healthier food choices, including organics, you may find yourself frequenting the doctor's office much less and spending less on medications — over the counter and prescriptions — and not to mention a lower chance of being prematurely dead. It's important to know that organically produced foods have to meet rigorous governing regulations in all aspects of production. It's labor and management-intensive, usually produced on smaller farms, which don't benefit from economies of scale. These factors combine, causing the cost to be higher. But as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for."

Organics typically cost about twice as much as conventionally produced food. To put things in perspective, consider bottled water. I know many people who would just about die of thirst before drinking tap water; for them, it's bottled or nothing. But when you do the math, bottled water is about 300-600 times more expensive than tap water, and for good reason. But, depending on which municipality you live in, your tap water might actually be safer and healthier than eating conventionally produced foods. It really doesn't make sense to spend money on bottled water and then eat foods that are not grown organically.

Some of the many benefits of eating organic foods are:

Superior nutrition: Organics have up to 300% more vitamins and minerals than conventionally grown foods.
They have greater flavor. Many top chefs use only organic foods.
Reduced intake of chemicals and heavy metals.
Decreased exposure to carcinogens.
Better working conditions for farmers and workers.
No genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Much better for the environment.

I only buy organic. The most disappointing thing to me is that most restaurants don't use organic food, due to the higher cost. However, if customers demanded organic, more producers would produce it, and prices would come down. So, start voting with your dollar. When you go to a restaurant and you're paying the bill, take a moment to fill out the comment card, or write directly on to the receipt, that you would eat there more often if they offered some organic foods. This is how we begin to make a difference.

If you need some recipes books on how to make raw organic foods recipes or how to add raw food recipes to your diet or menu, this would be the best place to begin.

You already know by now that eating organic fruits and vegetable give you energy. Most people love to buy their fruits and vegetable from a can or even frozen. Yes, they are good but it is better to grow your own organic garden. This way you know they are fresh and have no preservatives.

When you grow your own garden - they are much fresher and you can get your full vitamins and minerals. When you cook your vegetables - you do not cook them until they are soggy and wept. This will bring out the best in your vegetable. Having your vegetable a little raw bring out the vitamins and minerals better. For which in turn you will get more energy from them.

Now, when you grow your own fruit, you don't get the chemicals that is sprayed on them to preserve them like at the market. You will taste the difference if you do a taste test like I did. To do the test just buy some fruit from the store and after you have grown your own fruit then of course taste it to the store bought.

You will find that the fruits and vegetables are much better. With that being said, you will eat even more from your organic garden. The more you eat the more energy you will have.

There is a book that I read named "Family Organic Garden." Family Organic Garden is a complete and fully illustrated guide that explains in easy steps how to grow an organic food garden. Family Organic Garden provides new gardeners all the information they need to know to grow successfully their own food, save money and become healthier.
