3.  Food is the most essential part of life, human or animal.
We work and earn to provide healthy, nutritious and
wholesome food to our family.
 But what if the food that we eat and relish does not have
the natural, nutritious qualities that it ought to have? Or
what if the food that we eat is in fact harming our bodies,
albeit in a small way, but every day? We are talking of
conventional methods of growing food and their
repercussions on the food quality.
 Conventionally grown fruits and vegetables are not as
healthy as the organic food for the simple reason that they
use high quantities of harmful, toxic chemicals and
fertilizers.

4.  On the other hand, organic food is produced with the least
amount of any toxic materials. There are pesticide
residues in the organic food and therefore, it is considered
a healthy alternative to conventionally grown food.

5.  There are several other benefits of organic food which are
discussed below:
 More nutrient-packed:
◦ There is no denying the fact that the nutrient quantity in organic food
is far superior than, the conventionally grown food. With more
nutrients packed densely, organic food provides better immunity,
health and nutrition to the body. The anti-oxidant content in organic
food is higher than the non-conventional food.

6.  Better Taste:
◦ Not only is organic food more nutritious and healthy, it is also better
in taste. Although it would take some time for the taste buds to adjust
to the natural taste and quality of organic food after years of being
addicted to junk food additives, you would finally love the taste of
naturally grown food.

7.  Smaller Risk of Disease:
◦ Conventionally grown food is harmful for the body in the
sense that it contains harmful chemicals, pesticides or
additives that hamper the functioning of the body. We
are at a greater risk of acquiring diseases, illnesses and
disorders because our immune system is getting weak.
◦ But when we start consuming organic food, we stop the
supply of harmful chemicals and pesticides to our body,
slowly taking it away from the risk of getting diseased.

8.  Cheaper:
◦ Many individuals would argue that organic food is not
cheaper than the conventional food. But when you see
the aspect taking a broader base, you would find that
actually it is cheaper.
◦ One way that organic food saves money is that it
prevents you from falling sick. Lower health costs and
better presence at work account for the money saved.
Buying from the farmers directly helps you save money.

9.  Safety from hazardous chemicals and pesticides:
◦ Various studies over the years have shown that
chemicals and pesticides lead to major diseases like
cancer, leukemia, convulsions, depression, infertility,
endocrine disorders and other such problems.
◦ Consuming organic food saves you from the risk of
acquiring any of these diseases because, as mentioned,
there are no chemicals or pesticides used in their
production. Organic food is completely natural and
therefore, has a positive impact on the body.

10.  We work hard to get the best in life. So, let’s start with
food. Why not adopt organic food as our staple food and
be healthy, wealthy and wise throughout our lives.
