KNOW YOUR ORGANICS
Most of us get surprised by reading the price tag of food products in Superstores and malls especially, in the Organic
section. Whether it be a packet of rice, oats or, pulses, we wander the same
white oats in the organic section costing 3-4 times and some times more than
that of the inorganic one.
Is worth it! Yes, it is what makes it to
have this much cost. the major differences between organic and inorganic food.
Organic foods do not include harmful
chemicals for their growth. Farmers use natural manures and techniques.
Crop rotation techniques and natural
measures for enhancing the quality of soil as well as preserve the health of
wildlife and ultimately is beneficial for the whole ecosystem. Organic food
does not contain harmful preservatives to keep the food fresh for a long time.
For the growth of Non-Organic food,
farmers use harmful chemicals, for milk production injections of oxytocin,
which are being responsible to decrease the puberty age. Nowadays we see
children attaining puberty earlier. This is hazardous for the reproductive
health of children.
The deliberate use of chemicals and
pesticides has disturbed the whole biological system in-vitro as well as
in-vivo. Our whole food chain is getting contaminated as one organism depending
on the other for sustaining its life. So organic foods have many advantages
other than saving us from harmful chemicals, disease risks it improves the
local economy as well. Thus it is wiser to choose expensive organic weighing
the cost of our health.
One other better and cheaper idea is to
grow veggies, herbs at home in your kitchen garden. Be the producer of your
organics. You can explore the balcony garden or terrace garden option also if
space is a constraint for you.
Nowadays not only food but clothes stationary and many other daily utilities are coming as organic minimizing chemical use and maximizing health benefits and making our ecosystem safe.
I just hope after reading this you will try to make organics your part of life. Stay healthy and happy as truly said "Health is the biggest wealth".
