Organic food is meat, vegetables, fruit and other fare that have been grown in a way that does not use pesticide, chemicals and other agricultural methods that are not natural.  In other words, these foodstuffs have been grown the traditional way like composting instead of chemical fertilizers, crop rotation and other eco friendly practices.

Lots of people still get sick even though they exercise, drink lots of water, watch their diet and live a healthy lifestyle.  It is believed that it is because of the chemical residue and other harmful chemicals that people get when ingesting inorganic food.

Eating organic food should not just be practiced just because celebrities are doing it.  We should learn to take care of our bodies and looking good on the outside should start by looking and eating great on the inside.

So which food should we eat organic?  Fruits and vegetables get sprayed by fertilizers, hormones, anti bacterial and other chemicals while they are being grown.  Most fruit and vegetables have thin skin and scrubbing them or letting them sit in a pail of salted water won’t get all the chemical residue out.  So the  best bet when it comes to these is to go organic.  If you can’t find organic fruits and vegetables, find fruit that has thicker skin like oranges and water melon.  Vegeatables like eggplants, green peas and peppers have thick skin too, so they are relatively okay.

If going all organic isn’t within your budget, some websites in the internet provide guides, advice and tips on food that are okay even when not organically grown.  By limiting your intake of inorganic food, you are not only helping your body get healthier, you are also helping the environment.
