Benefits of organic fruit and Veg.

As a Naturopath I always try to encourage my clients to consume fresh, unprocessed, organic, whole foods. Here is my list of why you should choose organic food.

Avoids pesticides – 150 of the commonly used pesticides are linked to many diseases including cancer.

High standards – an independent third party inspects organic farms every year.

Climate Change – A UK Government study found organic farms use 30 – 40% less energy than non-organic farms.

Avoid GM – Organic food and farming prohibits the growing of any GM (Genetically Modified) crops.

Taste – Organic fruit and vegetables tend to grow more slowly and have a-lower water content, which contributes to the flavour and nutrient content.
