Why go Organic?

Here's why thousands of families have made the switch to organic products

All over the world, customers are demanding organic products. It is being found that Organic products offer far better nutritional advantages than conventionally grown produce.

As seen on http://organic.lovetoknow.com/Nutritional_Content_of_Organic_Food:

According to 41 studies performed at John Hopkins University in 2001 involving field trials, greenhouse pot experiments, market basket surveys and surveys of farmers were looked at and compared. The most studied nutrients across those surveys included calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, beta carotene, and vitamin C. Many studies also looked at nitrates, which are not something you want in your food.

According to the study, there was significantly more vitamin C (27 percent), iron (21 percent), magnesium (29 percent) and phosphorus (13 percent) in the organic produce than in the conventionally grown vegetables. There were also 15 percent fewer nitrates in the organic vegetables.

The vegetables that had the biggest increases in nutrients between organic and conventional production were lettuce, spinach, carrots, potatoes and cabbages.

With these types of statistics to back it up, parents want to provide their kids with a better chance to grow up healthier, as well as helping to improve their own health.

How we treat our bodies now will affect us all down the road.

40-50 years ago, people didn't have issues with reproduction. There was no such thing as a fertility clinic. While a lot of environmental issues are involved, the nutrients from the produce we consume are certainly affecting our overall health. Too many people fall into the trap of eating processed food without knowing where it comes from.

Switching to organic is not simply a trend – it's a commitment to improving overall health and your quality of life, for both you and your children.
