Organic Food has become extremely popular over the past few years thanks to its chemical free farming methods.

This is in spite of the fact that in most countries, these products cost more than Conventional ones! So why are so many people shifting over to natural produce, and why should you think about doing the same?

Here are the 5 best reasons to go organic:

It’s Chemical Free

Organic farming methods rely on fertilizers and pesticides that are produced from natural sources. This means that the use of synthetic chemicals is banned, resulting in food that’s safer and healthier for human consumption.

According to the National Academy of Science, only 10% of the chemicals applied to foods during conventional farming are tested for their long term effects on the human health before being deemed ‘safe’.

An even more startling fact is that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) only test 1% of all foods for residues of toxic and dangerous pesticides!

The above statistics are especially important for people living in the UAE, since the country imports more than 85% of its food requirements from other countries.

If you’re a resident in any of the 7 emirates looking for meats and organic vegetables Dubai based farms have now started free delivery services across the country.

It’s More Nutritious

Studies conducted by the Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine have shown that on average, these naturally produced products have 21.1% more iron, 13.6% more phosphorous, 29.3% more magnesium, and 27% more Vitamin C than their conventional farming counterparts.

The studies also revealed that five servings of any organically grown vegetables were enough to fulfill a human’s daily requirement of Vitamin C, whereas five servings of conventional vegetables were too few.

It’s Tastier

While this is a more subjective matter, a majority of customers has claimed that organically produced meats, vegetables, and fruits taste better than conventional ones because they’re healthier!

It’s GMO-Free

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), which have been known to cause several types of cancer, are abundantly present in conventionally farmed foods.

Naturally farmed foods are free of any GMOs or synthetic additives, helping you lead a healthier life!

Animal Products Are Free Of Dangerous Hormones

According to the EPA, more than 90% of the pesticides we consume are found in animal meats and dairy products from conventional farms.

This is because the hormones and antibiotics fed to animals to increase their reproductive rates or milk production rates cannot be broken down, even at high temperatures.

These dangerous chemicals then enter your body through the consumption of beef, dairy products, and farmed fish. These hormones and antibiotics have been known to cause:

• Early onset of puberty
  
• Tumors
  
• Increased risk of cancer, and
  
• Genetic problems
  

Choosing organic animal products is critical for all of us, especially children and pregnant women.
