TIME TO GO ORGANIC 2

What is organic? Organic refers to the way agriculture products, food and fiber are grown and produced. The following excerpt is the defini

tion of "organic" that the National Organic Standards Board adopted in April 1995. "Organic agriculture is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony."

Why Go Organic?

Organic products are grown without pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, hormones, genetically modified organisms, and synthetic man-made chemicals. Living an organic lifestyle is a great way to protect our environment and our bodies from these polluting chemicals.

Organic farming methods help to "nourish the land" by returning nutrients to the soil and keeping the air and water safe. Organic raw foods have superior taste, quality and a higher nutritional value than conventionally grown foods.

When you "go organic" or "go natural" you will learn it's not just about food. Organic also encompasses your nutritional supplements, skincare products, cosmetics, laundry soaps, hand soaps, toothpaste, shampoo, lotions and more.

Does this lifestyle appeal to you? If so, start the transition now. It is not all that easy I must confess but each time you want to buy something think of its effect on you, your family and the environment. If you cannot think of the immediate effect, think on the long term effect. This is because every chemical leaves something hazardous either in the body or in the environment. When you begin to get conscious about what you consume, the transition becomes easier with time.

Organic Lifestyle is the path to a happier, healthier you and a healthier, safer environment. It’s time to go Organic! Start the journey today if you are yet to.
