THE ORGANIC BOOM

In order to counter the toxic lifestyles and environmental hazards, the urban populace has shown an inclination towards organic products. The consumption of organic foods come with a wide range of health benefits for the people and also helps restore the ecological balance. However, the bitter truth is that most organic food products are too expensive for the average middle-class man. But as the old saying goes “Health is wealth”; so we all can figure out a way to spend a substantial amount for our well-being and reap the benefits for years to come. Moreover, one can also mix a bunch of organic and inorganic food items to create a balanced diet.

Here is a segmented list of the food items that can be safely consumed in non-organic form and others that must be bought from a 100% organic brand. A healthy mix of both food items makes up for a wholesome meal!

VEGETABLES: In conventional farming, vegetables such as sweet potato, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, eggplant, onion, sweet peas, and asparagus retain the least amount of pesticides. When one is planning to divide their diet into organic and inorganic meals, these vegetables can be purchased from the inorganic market. The perils of inorganic food such as genetically modified organisms and heavy metals are considerably lower in these vegetables.  On the other hand, celery, spinach, sweet bell peppers, corn, tomato, cucumber, potato, lettuce, and kale must be bought organic as often as possible. These vegetables pose a more direct threat to your health as they contain an unwarranted amount of pesticide residues when grown via inorganic practices.

FRUITS: Fruits like avocado, pineapple, grapefruit, mango, kiwi, papaya, cantaloupe, and watermelon can be safely bought from the non-organic section. Apple, strawberry, peach, and blueberry are amongst those fruits that are highly affected by conventional farming practices, therefore, must be bought organic.

DAIRY PRODUCTS: Milk and dairy products are a vital source of nutrition for the body. However, if the products ingested are not 100% safe and deficient in the essential nutrients, then the effort becomes futile. It is recommended to buy all sorts of dairy products such as milk, butter, cream, cheese, etc. from the organic section. Since milk consumed by toddlers and growing adolescents, it is advisable to not risk the health of your children.

OTHER ITEMS: People who love to eat non-vegetarian delicacies should always opt for livestock that is raised organically. These animals are not injected with growth hormones and they are more suitable for your consumption. However, salmon can be eaten from the inorganic section. Even inorganic mushroom imposes no health risks.

A BALANCED DIET
