5 Reasons to Go Organic

• 1. Lesser chemicals in your diet
• The use of pesticides is strictly monitored in
  organic farming. While some farmers do use
  pesticides, theyre made of natural substances
  instead of toxic or synthetic chemicals. Hence,
  organic produce contains fewer chemicals than
  normal produce which means a cleaner diet for you
  and your body.
• 2. Cleaner diets
• Normal packaged food contains high levels of
  additives which have a lot of hidden health
  risks. On the other hand, organic produce
  restricts the use of added preservatives and
  flavour, thus providing healthier, organic
  nutrition to the body. Eliminating these
  additives are a good idea because their long-term
  disadvantages can involve illnesses from diabetes
  to obesity.

• 3. To avoid GMO
• Various animal studies link GMOs to organ damage
  and immune system problems. While the health risk
  of GMOs in humans havent been tested, GMOs dont
  really serve any good purpose in the bigger
  picture. Organic supplements and produce strictly
  prohibit the use of genetically modified
  organisms or GMOs which makes it a good reason to
  switch to organic.
• 4. Better nutrition
• Organic produce provides better nutrition than
  conventional produce because they contain higher
  vitamins and minerals. For example, green
  smoothies made of organic vegetables are more
  likely to have a better nutritional value than
  that made of conventional produce. There are many
  studies which also show that organic food
  contains more healthy fats and antioxidants than
  hormones or chemicals.
• 5. Climate change mitigation
• Global emissions from crop and livestock
  agriculture is more than 5 billion tonnes C2
  equivalent today. Organic farming can help
  mitigate climate change by reduction of
  greenhouse gas emissions, energy use and carbon
  in the atmosphere. Additionally, it can also help
  farmers adapt to changing climate conditions so
  that they can make their soil more climate
  resilient.
