You are What You Eat

The wise old saying you are what you eat, is something that everyone should consider before putting food into their mouth. It also goes hand in hand, with why I believe buying and eating organically it SO imporantant.

Think about it, what makes something organic?

Basically an organic produce is raised without sythetic pesticides, petroleum-based fertilizers, or sewage sludge. Animals that are consisdered organic have consumed organic feed and had access to the outdoors. There is no gentetically engineering or treatment with radiation.

Paying attention? If you choose to eat food that is non-organic you and your family will consume pesticiedes, fertilizers, sewege sludge, and radiation. These treatments can lead to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Cancer, etc.

On the contrary, consuming organic produce, meats and dairy will provide you with MORE antioxidents, heart-healthy fatty acids, iron, magnesium, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids,CANCER FIGHTING conjugated linoleic acid CLA, and much more.

Are you a new mom? Consider drinking and eating organic products, such as organic milk, which will give you higher CLA in your breast milk. Only helping you and your baby :)

Healthy plants and animals, make for a healthy and happy consumer!

You are what you eat.
