Organic Food

Organic food it comes with important health benefits on an individual and environmental level. Crops certified as organic are free from harmful chemicals found in pesticides and commercial fertilizers, which saves the body from toxins and also requires that farmers take better care of their soil in order to prevent diseases and pest invasions normally addressed through chemical applications.

Thus organic foods include more vitamins and minerals such as beta carotine, antioxidents, calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, while retaining lower levels of mercury and other dangerous chemicals.
