The organic community have always known that organically grown foods are better than conventionally grown foods. Apart from the taste of the organically grown foods, more radiant skin, healthier bodies, cleaner and a more sustainable planet are just some of the benefits. Take for instance J.R. Watkins who began selling Watkins Foods and Watkins Products (all natural) around 1911. Watkins knew that natural was best.

The FSA which is a government body that provides information on food has taken its position on foods that are grown organically. Your reason for purchasing organic food may well be your reasoning that these foods are safer and have more nutrition than conventionally grown foods.

The cat maybe out of the bag now since scientific study regarding the benefits of chemical free foods now confirms that organic foods are more nutritious for you than conventionally grown foods. Organic foods show elevated levels of antioxidants and other beneficial minerals that prevent cancer and heart disease.

Antioxidants in organic milk range from 50 to 80 percent more than regular milk. Not to mention tomatoes, cabbage, wheat and others range from 20 to 40 percent higher.

Is there a relationship between the rise in eczema in children and our chemically laced foods? Many would argue, yes. When we consume five servings of conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, we are also consuming 10 servings of traces of toxins that were sprayed on the very conventionally grown fruits and vegetables. Remember that we also puree the same fruits and vegetables for our little ones.

Drawing from my own experience, my outbreaks of eczema and asthma did not cease until I made the switch to organic foods, skin care and products. There is truly a radiance to be had by using organic products for both the inner and outer body.
