It’s disheartening today to witness how agricultural business is gradually turning to be all about profit - and less about the measures that affect your health! In India, in a condition where the agriculture industry comes with an inherent condition of being unregulated, a surge in the count of adulterous methods - that planters and breeders subscribe to in order to grow and process food items - was destined to be a norm till the time stringent regulations come along!


The growing number of health complications in India is a direct result of this phenomenon where profit-minded producers and middlemen left no stone unturned to increase their revenues. One of the ways in which you can protect your and your loved ones’ health is by switching to organic food items. Here in this short write-up we shall take a look at the five benefits of having organic food.

  1. Avoid Pesticides and Herbicides – Pesticides and herbicides are poisons which are used to minimise crop damage and increase the produce. But when these dangerous chemicals enter your body they tend to cause life threatening diseases such as cancer and problems in your nervous system. As a matter of fact most of these chemicals contain high amounts of neurotoxins. You shouldn’t fool yourself into believing that these chemicals are on the outer layers of the food items and can simply be washed off.


  1. Organic Food Items Taste Better – Take a test, shop for some organic vegetables and average vegetables available in the market. Make the same preparation with them and taste them simultaneously. Invariably organic food items would taste better and this is thanks to the absence of harmful chemicals which spoil the taste and fragrance of food. Whether it is organic green tea or any other food items you would enjoy the taste of.


  1. Higher Nutrition Levels – More than taste, food items should offer adequate nutrition to keep your body fit and healthy. Numerous studies have proved that overuse of chemicals reduces the nutritious content of the food items. So fruits that you feel are nutritious for your kids may not necessarily add any nutrition to their body. On the other hand organic food items are rich in their nutritious content and are good for health.


  1. Increased Energy Levels - Eating organic foods would help in increasing the energy levels in your body. There is a natural tendency in our body to store toxins from the food that we eat in the adipose tissue. Increased toxin levels decreases your energy levels in your body and chemical laced food items are one of the primary sources of these harmful toxins. When you switch to organic food you would immediately feel a sense of energy in your body.


  1. Better Immune System – Genetically modified products are becoming common in the market. While these look great when you buy them, their consumption tends to weaken your immune system. In the long term this can lead to premature delivery, birth mortality, sexual dysfunctions and sensitivity to allergens. Switching to organic food items would help you prevent these problems.

The good news is that the demand for organic food products in India is increasing with each passing day. In fact Sikkim has become the first state in the country to produce 100% organic agricultural products and other states are following suit. To ensure that you buy organic fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy products, you can shop from online stores such as Quick2Kart (http://quick2kart.com). These stores source their products from leading organic firms and offer assurance on taste and quality.
