Better and Tastier

The Department of Health and Human Services defers questions about organic foods to the Food and Drug Administration.  The FDA has no policy on organic products; it says they are the domain of The Department of Agriculture.  But its mandate is simply to regulate the use of the certified organic label.  The agencies entrusted with safeguarding the food and health pass the potato, a fast-growing body of scientific literature suggests the connection between farm practice and the healthfulness of the foods merit attention. Not to judge the relative benefits of organic product against the conventional food products.

Organic foods do not come out ahead, but they rise to the top often enough to suggest that organic farming can increase the nutrient density of the food that we put in our mouths.  Researchers of University of California at Davis found 10 years mean levels of quercetin were 79 percent higher in organic tomatoes than in conventional tomatoes.  Quercetin and kaempferol are flavonoids that studies suggest protect against cardiovascular disease, cancer and other ills.

Other Davis study compared organic and conventional kiwis found that all the mineral constituents were more concentrated in the organic kiwi fruits.  Also has higher ascorbic acid a precursor of vitamin C and total phenol content, resulting in higher antioxidant activity.   Study measured 1.5 times more carotenoids, associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease in a Spanish study.  In Swiss researcher Lukas Rist found, mothers consuming at least 90 percent of their dairy and meat from organic sources having 36 percent higher level of rumenic acid in their milk. 

Based on a data collected by the Centers for Disease Control, “Thirty percent or more of the U.S. population ingests inadequate levels of magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin A, and all nutrients that we get from plants.” says Brian Hawley a senior researcher at the Worldwatch Institute.  These studies give hope that organic farming can reverse the nutrient decline of fruits and vegetables.


Food for thought

Many people want to have a nice looking sexy body, they go to a gym to build up muscle and burn down fats.  Eating the basic food group can help you sustain and have a great sexy body.  Food that have high level of nutrients like organic food products, organic food don’t have any toxins added like pesticides or chemical flavor enhancers.  Chemicals such as that can be harmful or may have some side effect to our body that may cause obesity or something else.   Proper healthy eating habit is a must and with some exercise helps you to gain that particular weight that you want.
 One thing is that organic food product is not harmful to our environment and considering that we have problem in global warming.  Consider the health of your family, organic food is just a preventative measure, rather than spending some money on medicines or trips to the doctor.
Another to be considered is the way you or we live and how often lunch and dinner is in fast food or restaurant meals.  Buying organic food maybe more cooked meal at home, less takeaways.  These changes may be challenging but it increase well being and long term benefits.


Food Advantage

Wednesday Jun 25, 2008

          Some countries have a problem of childhood obesity, problem that cause of lack of exercise and eating the wrong food.  When children have their early experiences with food, they form an opinion by loving that particular food.  If they are given sweet food like chocolates, they will like chocolate, if they are having fruits like apples or oranges they will like apples or oranges.  The thing that parent or people have children can do to stop the problem of childhood obesity is to help kids to develop food preferences that are healthy and less fattening.

                The next thing people can do is to begin eliminating the additives and preservatives in food that contribute to childhood obesity and adult obesity as well.  Monosodium glutamate or MSG is the additive that also increases the tendency for obesity. There are many other food additives that are just as bad as MSG, the best way to  eliminate all prepackaged foods from a child’s diet is to substitute the junk foods like potato chips and organic food such as organic apples or organic vegetables.

                Eating organic food does not contain chemical flavor enhancers or preservatives, the toxins that are in the food that is produced by conventional means are also contributes to childhood obesity.  And organic food can help cure the obesity problem.


We are what we eat

Some say that we are what we eat, and eating healthy food gives good nutrient that supplements our body.  A research found that more than 70% of Americans are consuming reduced-fat foods and over half of them are eating reduced-calories, like grains and oats.  Most consumers are adding grains, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and pro-biotic to their diets.

                Eating organic foods gives consumers the nutrient and is free from any chemical toxicity; most consumers are discerning and prefer to buy agriculture that is grown without pesticides and any other toxins.  The chemical toxins that are put in a non-organic food may cause cancer or any illness, products that are non-organic is easily determined because of the texture and the taste of the product, and while the organic product give more taste, and some studies have found higher nutrient levels in organic fruits and vegetables compared with non-organic grown products.  Buying organic product are much better in local grown because it cuts down the amount of carbon dioxide created in transporting the products and minimize its travel in your basket.

Choosing a healthy food product or organic food product has an advantage to have a healthy and sustainable diet while eating great taste of food.
