5 Benefits of Eating Organic

We are constantly being told how eating Organic food is “better” for us and the environment. After a while this can all become like white noise and it is hard to understand what the actual benefits are to eating organic foods. Here at Bodymatter we produce 100% organic granola, therefore we think eating organic is but why? Here we give you five amazing reasons why eating organic food is great!

1.No GMOs

What even are GMOs? Quite simply GMOs stand for Genetically modified foods/genetically modified organisms (GMOs). These are basically food that are made using harmful chemicals. Organic foods do not use herbicides, pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and antibiotics that are used in GMOs. Organic give the body more vitamins, antioxidants and minerals V GMOs that health hazards that prevent the body from functioning fully and have been shown to cause a number of birth defects and also may cause cancer.

2.MORE NUTRITIOUS

As highlighted above organic food is more nutritious for you. Organic foods contain higher levels of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals that help fight diseases. Quite simply the use of pesticides and artificial substances reduces the nutritional benefits of the foods we eat.

3.THEY CAN HELP PREVENT DISEASES

There has been a lot of research conducted on, organic fruits, vegetables, and cereals. A lot of this research has shown that organic foods contain significantly higher levels of antioxidants than conventionally grown produce. Not just this, links have also been made to the reductions in the risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases as well as certain cancers!

4.BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

We all like to do our bit for the environment and eating more organic produce can be one way you can do your bit. Organic farming reduces uses less energy, conserves water, reduces soil erosion, increases soil fertility, and generally reduces pollution. Not to mention it helps look after all the little creatures of this earth. So having and organic start to your day can help make you “do well” to the environment.

5.THEY TASTE GREAT

We think our Granolas taste great. However, this is helped by the fact that organic food tastes much better since they doesn’t contain any nasty preservatives. Due to the lack of preservatives organic food is generally produced on smaller farms and sold fresher as its not imported for far of places. This is one of the reasons we use grains from British farms in our Granola.
