The health benefits of organic food
Foods with Organic Agriculture certification are becoming more and more common in our diet because they are increasingly sought after by consumers.
Consuming foods with this certification allows us to be assured of the absence of pesticide residues and to know that this then has a positive impact on our overall health.
In organic farming, synthetic chemicals such as pesticides or synthetic chemical fertilizers are prohibited, which is why organic farming helps reduce human and environmental exposure to synthetic chemicals. Organic products therefore contain 75% less pesticides than food that is not organic. People most exposed to pesticides will be more at risk of having health problems. In addition, consuming organic food helps to respect the environment since the treatment methods mainly come from organic or animal materials. These materials are more respectful of the soil than chemical fertilizers.
Organic fruits and vegetables have an antioxidant content between 20 and 70% higher than those from so-called "conventional" agriculture. Organic fruits and vegetables will also have a higher vitamin and mineral content.
Organic foods also have a preventive role on certain diseases and reduce the risk of diabetes . Indeed, regular consumption of organic foods helps reduce the risk of having cancer. They also help reduce oxidative stress . Eating organic foods allows you to have an overall healthy and balanced diet.
Finally, eating organic fruits and vegetables allows for a more flavorful taste because they are harvested later compared to conventional agriculture, they have more time to ripen .
