what is organic food and the difference between organic and non organic and benefits of consuming the organic foods

1. What is Organic Food and the health benefits of
consuming them.
What is Organic Food?
Organic food is referred to organic food products that have been produced and processed
without using any Chemical fertilizers or pesticides, in other ways chemicals should never be used
at all.
Difference between Organic and Non-Organic Food
Organic Foods Non Organic foods
Use natural fertilizers such and manure,
compost and animal and plant waste
Use chemical fertilizer and make the plant or
animal to produce more yield
Doesn’t use pesticides, instead use
traditional methods to decrease the insect or
bird attacks
Uses chemical insecticides to kill the insects
and birds to decrease the attack
Used the organic animal feed and necessary
nutrients to animals to keep the cattle healthy
and increase the yield naturally
use of hormonal medication to increase the
cattle yields fast and high

2. Health Benefits of Organic Food
 Organic produce contains fewer pesticides. Chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides,
and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on (and
in) the food we eat.
 Organic food is often fresher because it doesn’t contain preservatives that make it last
longer. Organic produce is often (but not always, so watch where it is from) produced on
smaller farms near where it is sold.
 Organic farming is better for the environment. Organic farming practices reduce
pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy.
Farming without pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people
who live close to farms.
 Organically raised animals are NOT given antibiotics, growth hormones, or fed animal
byproducts. Organically-raised animals are given more space to move around and access
to the outdoors, which help to keep them healthy.
 Organic meat and milk are richer in certain nutrients. Results of a 2016 European study
showed that levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50
percent higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions.
Why should you eat Organic food?
 Organic food is said to host a range of higher health benefits in comparison to generically
grown and produced food.
 The preservative and chemical freeway is said to be a preventative of heart disease,
cancer, cognitive malfunctions, vision problems as well as premature aging.
(A study conducted in France of 70 000 adults found that those who consumed mostly
organic vegetables, fruit, meat and dairy products had 25% less chance of contracting
Cancer.)
 Organic food has a much higher antioxidant content to that of regularly produced food
and is completely free from foreign chemicals that attack a lot of the vitamins and minerals
that are naturally found within food, meaning that the vitamin boost is a lot higher.
 The vitamin and mineral boost are also apparent due to the way in which the plant
produces Phytochemicals (antioxidants, vitamins and minerals) in an effort to strengthen
its resistance to bugs and weeds.
