Organic - Novelty or Necessity

Recently there was a report in the British Journal of Nutrition proving that organic is Better. 
 
This is often a question I get asked.  “Is organic better?”  My answer is always simple.
 
Organic is always better for your health!   
​But why?

• Higher in nutrients
• Higher in Omega-3s and antioxidants
• Easier to digest
• Low levels of toxins in comparison to their counter part
• Nearly always better flavour

 
The recent findings in the report in the British Journal of Nutrition showed a distinct improvement in specifically Omega-3s – organic meats and dairy 50% higher in Omega-3.  Organic carrots, broccoli, apples and blueberries significantly higher in antioxidants.
 
The truth is, it’s not just about the taste, the main benefit is to your health.  More and more of our foods are lacking in good nutrition so get good quality where you can.
 
I love to see Organic farmers like Glasrai in Castlebar on Fridays and in Westport on Saturdays.  They offer an affordable good quality Organic Produce, and you are supporting a local family.
 
We spend so much on buying the latest thing touted to improve our health, when the real honest truth is it all starts with your knife and fork. 
 
Bring it back to basics:

• Good quality food
• High in nutrition
• Buy organic where possible
• From a farm not a factory
• Plenty of colour and variety
• Can recognize the ingredients by looking at it
• More foods with less labels

 
 
So the next time someone tries to tell you that Organic is just a fad or pretentious, remember it’s what your parents/grandparents/great grandparents all ate, it was just called food back then, and they didn’t do too bad, they definitely didn’t have the same numbers of chronic illnesses we see today.
