Going organic to reap health benefits: Samson

In the 21st century, organic products are gaining its popularity. Not only just fruits, vegetables and meat, it also comes in the forms of snacks and dessert. Studies have shown pesticides and chemical fertilizers have many side effects. Some examples of the side effects are headaches, nausea, vomiting, as well as skin and eye problems. Hence, more people prefer organic food.
Comparing the taste and nutrition value, organic food has a higher nutrition value to normal food that has used pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Of course, because of its freshness, organic fruits and vegetable taste much more crunchy and juicier.

However, one factor organic lost to non-organic food is that the cost to buy organic food is much higher. This is because there are limited organic food being grown and hence the price is higher.

I ate organic food every day. My family cooks organic rice rather than normal white rice. Organic rice is much healthier because it contains more potassium and magnesium that are good for our body. Organic rice contains less fat and will also be more filling than normal white rice. This is definitely a good choice for people who are on diet.

In conclusion, organic products are good for our health. But I believe that without a balance diet, you will not be healthy. Thus everyone should eat in moderation and exercise at least twice a week. With a positive mindset, everyone will work towards a healthier diet.
