Chemicals in our bodies?
Why go through all of the extra work to create a
chemical-free lifestyle? Start asking yourself some
serious questions. For example, why is it that one in
three people have or get cancer? Is it because of what
we eat, is it the air we breathe or the water we drink
or is it just stress? Doctors do not know conclusively
why one in three people get cancer. Countless studies in
the media correlate what we consume as potential risk
factors, why not remove one more source of known
chemicals we introduce to our bodies by eating organic
fruits and vegetables?
It's time to get your hands dirty!
We all try to make decisions in our lives that affect
our health. As we grind through the rigors of daily
life, who has time to grow their own food? That leaves
you with two choices. Pay a premium for organically
grown produce or GROW IT! Put a bench in the middle of
your garden, sit down and get inspired. Even if it is
only a few tomato plants or a row of lettuce, get your
hands dirty, reduce your stress and get ready to taste
some real food.
Back to Basics.
Americans are getting back to their roots. More and more
we are making homemade bread and wine, as well as
pickling, dehydrating, preserving and freezing our food.
This allows us to have organic foods when they are out
of season. Learning freezing, canning and dehydration
techniques will extend your garden’s natural yield
throughout the year.
Grow Organic, Be Healthy and Save Money!
Organically grown food is the fastest growing sector in
the retail food industry. Consumer Reports said in its
February 2006 issue that organic foods costs consumers
an average of 50 percent more than conventional foods.
Many consumers feel the extra money is well spent if it
means that they will be keeping foreign ingredients and
chemicals out of their bodies. With all of the toxins,
additives, pesticides, herbicides, and dyes that are
found in today’s food it is a wonder that more people
don’t eat only organic food. Starting or converting your
existing garden to an organic garden could save you
$100’s or $1000’s a year and leave you with a satisfying
feeling knowing you are in charge of what goes into your
food and ultimately your body. |
